I mean, yeah, those kids showed and joked about a dead body. That's disrespectful and just shows how very out of touch with reality they are, but c'mon. Remember that Hitler is responsible for killing a great many people, including children, in very horrific ways. Let's not casually compare the two. The Paul brothers are just spoiled rich kids who aren't really sure how to be human because it's been so long since they've had to.

@Madhatter The Hitler option is mainly a joke.
But still...the sheer fact that these assholes haven't taken any responsibility for their actions AND that they've received MORE support from all this is...troubling.

@Fangirlsarah1996 You're right, there should be greater consequences for what they did to discourage it from happening in the future. However, they make a lot of money for the platform and the vast majority of their fans are young teenagers and children who haven't yet developed the kind of morals to condemn their behavior. The ethical thing to do would be for Youtube to end their partnership with the Paul brothers, but they're a business. They will do what people will pay for and people will pay for more Paul brothers. Logan Paul is in a position where he'll continue to make ludicrous amounts of money. Most of us wouldn't stop either, in his position. So, yeah, it sucks, but it's far from the worst thing in the world. I'd just suggest avoiding his content yourself, and if you have children or younger siblings, discourage them from following him either. That's about all you can do and that's really all that should be done, imo.

@Fangirlsarah1996 Sadly, you're right. They'll change course when they feel it in their wallet, but until then, they continue to sit pretty. Right now, Youtube basically has a monopoly on the video sharing market. If no one is around to compete, they can do pretty much whatever they want.

@Madhatter And since they're owned by Google, competition is truly unrealistic.
Especially with the whole net neutrality thing.
