Fiverr isn't a "place 4 ppl to whore themselves"...
Hell, if someone paid me what equals a week’s worth of food money in my country just to do something as harmless as saying a few words, I’d bite. I don’t see where the negative is here.
I’d jump at that much money for relatively harmless work. Food in Australia for my household is at least $300 a week. I’d dive on it.
The negative is that people are blaming these guys for something that wasn’t their fault. No one’s bothered to do enough research to find out how Pewdiepie made the news in the first place. The funnyguys don’t speak English fluently and didn’t know what they were agreeing to so they accepted the job. PDP posted the video on 11 January, the funnyguys who live in the Tamil region of India got banned not long after because the message read “Death to All Jews” due to PDP doing it for the lulz.
They asked him for help to get unbanned. He ignored them for two or three days and made excuses on his channel and said “Well people will do anything for money”, conflating well off first worlders with poor third worlders making an honest living instead of stealing off coal trains. People defending Pewdiepie are blaming the funnyguys for being dumbasses, but they’re the real dumbasses for not understanding how simple currency exchange rates and poor countries work.
The media called him out for being such a dick in January and it forced him to apologise and the backlash helped to get the account unbanned along with Pewdiepie’s help two weeks later. It became a negative because people don’t understand that the media first reported on this in January and the February WSJ article was a follow up article to these January articles saying “Well, it’s not the first time he’s made anti-Semitic jokes, but these ones didn’t ruin someone’s livelihood”. In return, a lot of people defending PDP started victim blaming the funnyguys to attack the media, when in reality Pewdiepie shouldn’t have taken advantage of them in the first place and the media was actually correct to report on it.
tl;dr: The funnyguys didn’t do anything wrong, but the people blaming them haven’t exactly done a lot of research before calling them names.
