    I really hate how inflammatory Jobst is, but some of the things he pointed out in this video had my jaw on the floor, and it was the last straw for some folks - Jirard is apparently being removed from Sea of Stars, and a lot of folks online are pretty convinced now Jirard effed up.

      This video was almost entirely excellent but I was so disappointed to see Karl cross over into being rude and unprofessional in a couple of places. I want micro-documentaries, not youtuber fights.

        I think when you cross into the “I’m going to sue you because you exposed me territory” it riles Karl up since he is getting sued by Billy Mitchell. But yeah this is becoming a fight.

    Yeeeah this is why I can’t care about this. No matter what Jirard did or how bad it was… Karl’s gonna do clickbait garbage about it.

      You dont care about some immoral and possibly illegal activity done with charity money by a very big internet personality, because one other internet personality might talk about it with clickbait?

        This schmuck is turning something you find important into drama. If the next dozen posts about this topic are more of the same emotionally-manipulative superlatives, then no, I really don’t care to follow along.

        Would me caring change the outcome?

    I always like to be charitable with my opinions of other people. I liked to think that the best case scenario was that Jirard was lied to by his dad or something. But Jirard said he knew in 2021 that the money wasn’t being given away. He could have claimed he didn’t know, made sure the money went out ASAP and made a video saying he didn’t know and he fixed it. He made a lot of missteps, if not outright lies, and destroyed most of the goodwill he earned over the years. Whether that’s him defending his family or himself, doesn’t really matter anymore.

    He not only said he knew in 2021, he went and claimed again in the next Indieland that the money was going to a bunch of places when he knew it wasn’t.

    I’m glad the money finally got donated - even though the amount donated doesn’t cover everything they had in 2022 and doesn’t include anything from the golfing charity, so something is definitely sus there - but yeah, no one is ever going to trust him again, and they shouldn’t.

    I guess the Holocaust must not have been so bad then. /S

    This fucking guy. How can you take his arguments seriously with clickbait bullshit like this?
