hey, what the fuck is wrong with Alex Novell that makes him go on stream before presenting the evidence directly to the police? he seems to be infected by the same streaming brainworms as the guy he's (rightfully) dunking on except justifying it with post-hoc "well i'm only lolcowing people who actually deserve to be in prison"

I really wonder if it's possible to talk about Chris Chan in an ethical way. I think it's best to let the internet forget.

1.) It's not on people doing journalism to submit their findings to the police, especially when the information is mostly public or found via public channels, before releasing the product of the work. 2.) Lolcowing someone is provoking them to act in ways for the general amusement of the public at the detriment of their own image and mental state. Are you trying to say it's unethical to make fun of people who have committed crimes?

Jackson

That was shocking by me, why the fuck was he interviewing witnesses and shit live

Jackson

It's not his responsibility inherently no, but he's choosing to pursue this case so it's insane to be doing sensitive interviews fucking live. Keep in mind the center of this is still a woman dying, he seems very entertainment minded in how he's pursuing her death and it just came across as very vapid and off-putting to be treating the case this way

Jackson

I was with this guest up until he started talking about how he was just live streaming interviews with witnesses in this poor woman's death. I'm sorry that really makes me question his motives, aside from being pretty likely to influence the information he gets it just seems incredibly vapid. All true crime stuff commodifies tragedy to a degree, but when he's talking about how this guy is exploiting people for online attention it seems incredibly hypocritical that he's being so flagrant and short-sighted in how he's going about examining what seems to be a pimp sexually exploiting women by hooking them on drugs until he eventually got one of them killed

J

He extracted a recorded confession, and the guy who did it is likely going to jail again for his subsequent meltdowns and threats. It's not justice, but I don't see him as having damaged anyone besides a known murderer

"Jeffery Epstien and the Island Boys" is a boy band from the darkest possible timeline

Dumb Bitch Disease

I can’t believe Jimmy Donaldson did all that shit that’s crazy

Jackson

If the results end up being good that's great but I don't come out of this episode particularly liking the dude or feeling like he's handling this especially responsibly

Ham Stroker’s Jackula

This guest seems like just as much as a scumbag parasite as the subjects of his films. This just seems like lurid tragedy porn for millennials and zoomers.

Martin

This one's real fucking bleak and it's a shame that the only people covering it - content creators - naturally gravitate towards the same lolcow approach as their subjects.

Wobbly Ryan

My ex tried sending me World of T-shirts shit and I had to literally tell her to fucking stop because it was vile and exploitative and I wasn't gonna watch it. Shit like this just fills me with despair.

Jackson

Yeah honestly don't get why they brought this dude on

Ben Ferber

Didn’t like this guest, he seemed just as scummy as the people he claims to oppose and uses basically the same tactics as them within the same ecosystem. Also I was really put off by his pro-cop anti bail reform rant which was full of details being pushed by right wingers in order to increase the number of people in jail, mostly nonviolent, with the false pretense of increasing violent people in jail. I wish the hosts had pushed back on that sentiment, though the guest framed it in a dishonest way which elided many of the things that were wrong with it.
