some of you younger members of the audience out there might not remember
this but does anybody remember that amazing Will Smith song for the men in
black movie here come the man in black will let you remember the good guys rest
the black remember that just in case you have a face to face a bit contact
I am ridiculous what is up everybody this is Chris from the rewired so where
we talk about the problem but focus on the solution and if you new to my
channel I am absolutely fascinated with YouTube culture so sometimes I dive into
a little YouTube commentary so if any of that kind of stuff
make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell and you know I got
them sick raps but anyways yeah I want to talk about this it's like Danielle
Cohn just pulled a men and black and I'm fascinated by it and I just want to
discuss it a little bit I was actually just texting with a fellow fellow
youtuber friend of mine about it so any of you who are not caught up to speed
and what's been going on like Dani Cohn was just all over the place for
like the last like week and a half two weeks okay it all started out with some
like Instagram pictures some Instagram stories and with her boyfriend Mikey - I
still don't know if it's too much or tu a or whatever it is but it appeared as
though she was pregnant and one of the controversies that's
always been surrounding Danny Cohn is her age all right she says she's 15 some
people say she's 12 all that stuff that is just something I don't feel like
diving into I don't care anyways so but yeah we're being pregnant at that age
was controversial right then her and her boyfriend ended up coming to Vegas and
they got quote-unquote married which we found out was fake and everything like
that then they posted a video of a gender-reveal party where they announced
hey it's a girl yeah the boys freaking out and then boom they drop the bomb on
everybody this was all in a a buret prank which they then turned
into a PSA about safe sex teen pregnancy and all that stuff all right but anyways
I was just absolutely blown away by this because cancel culture is a thing that
we we live in right and I remember seeing Danielle Cohn video going up and
people are saying like oh you're cancelled you're done you're back and
it's true when she posted that video boom she lost like 3,000 subscribers
which is absolutely nothing by the way so here's her social blade alright so
auto social blade as you can see leading up to this when all this news was going
on everybody was talking about her she was gaining tens of thousands of
subscribers tens of thousands right on average she gets a couple falls in a day
so there was one day where she lost 3,000 subscribers and after that she
made him my back and like here's the other thing like everybody's just
forgotten about it including Dani Cohn like she actually deleted that video and
then put it back up so she didn't really delete it usually you just hit like the
private setting or unlisted setting so the public can see it but it's back up
it's there I just saw this as I was thinking about this but like check out
her Twitter like check out her Twitter she just acted like nothing happened and
I'm like dang girl right there like and nobody's talking about it nobody's
talking about anymore and that's cool like I think we should all move on but
it's just fascinating to me because as a society like we we move on very quickly
and I have a few theories about why this happens so one of the things is is the
24/7 news cycle right we are constantly inundated with news constantly just
constantly whether it's like youtuber new celebrity news but also like major
tragedies happening in the world there's a lot of political stuff's going on like
we're living in a time that is different than any other time in history where
news is constantly just being thrown in our face right so so I think a lot of us
what we do is we pry or ties like what's important right like
a 15 year old girl like pretending to be pregnant and getting married for views
like yeah not that high on the priority scale especially when you take into
consideration like the Mueller report was just released and there's a lot of
stuff going on with the Trump presidency that awful tragedy that happened in Sri
Lanka on Easter Sunday you know what these are like major things that are
happening so how long are people really focusing on this and I mentioned this in
my last video about Danny Cohen as well like she's not gonna get cancelled
because you have to look at who our primary demographic is right it's kids
it's cuz they don't care cool nice video you know but they don't care they don't
care like the video is made about it we're getting hundreds of thousands of
views and she they barely got a like my man Chris D'Elia would say didn't even
get a dent oh just nothing and she's still just
going and thriving just talking about it like just talking about nothing happen
like so so the other thing is to just within the commentary community like how
long does a story go on for how long do people talk about it for how long is it
relevant I feel like for the commentary community danielle cone is always a
topic of conversation just because she is so young and she has so much fame and
a lot of people see what she's doing is controversial but the next thing the
next theory I have as to why everybody just kind of forgot about this thing and
moved on is because she's young okay something I've talked about in the video
I did a while back about Angelica oles and the commentary community as a whole
myself included is I talked about expectancy theory I talked about
confirmation bias and all these other things right so expectancy theory is
this psychological theory about what we expect from different people right so I
think her age plays a role into how quickly people moved on from this story
right she's 15 possibly 12 like she's young she good
like she didn't even have to make it up video like in the realm of like social
media influencers and YouTube influencers and all of that like opposed
you videos are like the saying like I've had my own history with those but she
didn't even have to do that like all she had was what you guys see on the screen
behind me was just like hey sorry we tricked you we just thought it'd be kind
of fun you know so she's a kid so like I think that's another reason why we moved
on very quickly and everybody just kind of forgot about it now something that is
constantly brought up is Dani cones mother all right Danielle Cohn's mother is
clearly involved in the work that Dani cone does like being an influencer on
tik-tok on Instagram on youtuber and all those like Dani cones mother is clearly
involved she's also been in videos with Danny Cohen so I guess the question is
is like how much responsibility is on her and everything but here's the thing
I shoot some other videos I saw about Danny Cohen Danny Coale comes from you
know a background of like childhood pageantry and things like that and I
never watched it but I think like even Jo Jo CY came from like the Dance Moms
you know whatever it was but you know that's just kind of how those parents
parents I guess you know and it's something that I didn't know it's
something that I battle with because a lot of kids these days they want to be a
youtuber they want to be an influencer and you know I have a ten-year-old son
and when I see what kind of goes on in the culture of social media and YouTube
and twitch and everything I'm like yeah so he's kind of he's kind of backed off
in and I'm not really like trying to pressure him into it but if it comes up
again it's something these are all things that I take into consideration as
a parent all right the last thing last thing I think why everybody kind of
moved on and forgot about this thing so so quickly is it's because Danny Cohn
herself moved on right like Danielle didn't make an apology video the only
thing she had was that right there she didn't even address publicly to my
knowledge why she deleted that video or took it down and then put it back up and
she's just tweet she's on Instagram you know just she's
uploaded this like her third or fourth video since the gender the the
gender-reveal party prank the whole pregnancy prank thing and Danielle just
kind of like kept it moving and just kept doing her thing like she just moved
forward on my gang right and I don't know I don't know like I am just
constantly analyzing everything and my cancel culture is something that's just
very fascinating to me and I'm extremely against it because I don't I don't know
everybody's human they're gonna make mistakes and it's just about turning
knowledge into wisdom and wisdom is taking action on your knowledge right so
did Danny Cohen like learn from this I don't know maybe maybe she did I I would
figure that she did see the negative feedback once she posted the video with
saying how was all a prank even though everybody kind of knew it was already
but I don't know she's just continuing to do her own thing and these are just a
few factors as to why I personally believe everybody kind of forgot about
this and just move on from it but I would love to hear your thoughts on this
down below because in the YouTube community we've seen other controversies
and everything be drawn out for days weeks months even and this was kind of
just like boom it happened now we all forgot we got we just got min and
blocked all of us did so let me know your thoughts on the subject down below
what factors do you think have to play in do you think it's the the constant
news cycle do you think it's the age do you think it's the fact that she just
kind of moved on it didn't address anything there's some other youtubers
that I can think of the kind of did the same thing and they kind of came out on
the other side pretty much unscathed alright anyways that's all I got for
