So many people I used to watch when YT first started were discovered to be pedophiles or rapists... ๐Ÿ˜Ÿ

i wonder if the fame turned them into that or they were always pedos to begin with

I'd imagine it's always been there, but their fame gave them access to a devoted fanbase willing to do anything for them.

And then things just devolve...
