Dan Schneider was once Nickelodeon's golden goose creating some of the most iconic
family-oriented sitcoms ever but unfortunately whether Nick knew it or not Dan himself
wasn't a very family-oriented person after allegations ran rampant Nickelodeon finally
pulled the plug on Schneider severing all ties with him and then everyone and their mother was
making YouTube videos about him today's analysis video isn't going to be yet another trendy Dan
Schneider hate speech and it's not going to be a video praising him for his creativity either
no instead allow me to be the first person with enough gall to point out how so many
YouTubers have taken advantage of these tragic stories of grooming,
sexual immorality, and abuse and used them as a way to make money and grow their YouTube channels
denouncing the dishonorable deeds done by Dan Schneider is one thing but deviously decorating
your dashboard with low hanging fruit is just dumb let's just get to the point pretentious theme song
let me ask you a question what does it mean to raise awareness I'm sure many would say things
like not being silent when injustice is being committed making your voice be heard and sharing
information that may not be public knowledge either because it's not being spoken about or
people are actively trying to hide it a lot of these YouTubers will claim that the reason they
feel it's absolutely necessary to make a video about Dan Schneider is to raise awareness about
everything bad that he's done usually in the hopes that exposing this kind of behavior will
prevent it from being repeated which honestly is the best reason to be talking about this
that being said I do think it's odd that some YouTubers had nothing to say when the allegations
first came out but the moment Dan Schneider's name started trending on YouTube and the few
videos about him had anywhere between 100,000 and 1 million views suddenly everyone wants to talk
about him do you honestly believe that all these people talking about Dan Schneider are only trying
to raise awareness if you genuinely do then let me ask you this is it okay for them to be making
money off of it I can almost guarantee that every YouTuber that meets the monetization requirements
definitely monetized their Dan Schneider video in the hopes that their video would get a lot of
easy views after all his name is trending is that okay is it okay for YouTubers that have
never met the people they're talking about and have no intentions of actually fixing the issue
to be making money talking about what may have been the most tragic event of someone's life
is that the world we live in now maybe I'm just old-fashioned or maybe I'm just an idiot but
forgive me for thinking that it's not right for anyone to be making a profit off of someone else's
pain especially if no attempt is made to reach out to those people that actually experienced it
okay look there are people on this platform that aren't just trying to cash in on the latest buzz
case in point they usually just make one or two videos about Dan Schneider
and some even bring a very unique perspective when they talk about him but there are some YouTubers
that don't really seem to treat the subject with any amount of respect making it quite obvious that
they're only doing this because they know it's gonna get views which raises the question are
they only making these videos because their other videos aren't doing so well it's always good to
raise awareness about injustices going on around us but if your intentions are as benevolent as
you like to make them sound then why are you trying to make a profit off of it but in all
honesty these YouTubers aren't the only ones to blame they're smart enough to know that a lot of
their viewers aren't smart enough to know how manipulative they're being all it really takes
is an obnoxious thumbnail with Dan Schneider in it and boom you've got a 100,000 views so who's
worse the people making the poison or the people taking the poison? I'm not going to be a hypocrite
and monetize this video so if you want to support the channel the links are all down below
until then I'll leave you with this I don't see why we can't just pretend to be pirates
I'll play pirates with you no I don't like how you play pirates
