Driving off someone from being online, as a troll, because it gives you a thrill.
This is an awfully specific flex, but it is a flex nonetheless, that people do feel to boast about. Because it’s just another form of a power-trip. Congratulations, you’ve driven away someone who could’ve been a contributory member of a community to make yourself feel better by orchestrating lies, performing witch hunts and huddling with your troll buddies in ways to figure out how to process this.
There’s nothing prideful about this to flex over.
Someone new has taken over the channel. I haven’t watched any of the new videos yet,
kind of feels a little disrespectful to me that they would continue his channel instead of starting their own, butI guess if they keep the same quality and feel, it could work out well.Edit: see below, don’t make assumptions based on zero information at all.
It’s not just “someone”, it’s his brother, Roy. Paul introduced him early on, after he knew he was sick, but before he told everyone. Roy has always been a part of Paul’s “crew” and started becoming a bigger part of some videos before taking over the channel entirely. So, it wasn’t out of nowhere, and it was what Paul wanted.
Nice, thanks for setting me straight. Good to know his legacy is being respected. I’ll give the new videos a watch.
“some dude” :) I got a bit of a belly laugh there.
Just can’t get into Roy’s presentations. He’s knowledgeable and follows Paul’s format well enough, but he just doesn’t have that je ne sais quoi I liked about Paul. I still watch him now and again as he has a different angle on things than Paul did.
