Video has 47K dislikes on RYD ๐ I wonder how many are in the YT dashboard ๐ณ
On a serious note though, why anyone do this, in Japan of all places, and think it would make for a good Youtube video?
Looking at the generally very friendly culture in Japan towards foreigners, and their extremely clean and effective transport network, I wouldn't even consider abusing people's kindness to travel around for free!
A lot of streamers have made a name for themselves by being assholes in Japan. Because you largely have the British "if I ignore this buffoon they will go away" coupled with racist "ha ha, they said ching chong ching" bullshit if someone does confront the youtuber.
Ludwig/Mogul Mail has a good video about some dipshit who would run up and say "hiroshima nagasaki" to people who eventually got his ass beat, repeatedly, and was arrested. But the norm is that Japanese folk just want to move on with their day and hope the asshole leaves them alone after a minute or so. Although, I want to say that also somehow became one of Lud's love letters to (deranged wannabe rapist) ishowspeed, so... yeah.
Also, while I don't watch the assholes, I have seen mention of a lot more IRL streamers who are hoping they can get into a video (or just have footage of) the more popular streamers ever since OTV included a chance meeting with (Anime with) Alvin Zhou during one of their recent Japan videos. And lots of other streamers and youtubers have been making Japan content since basically everyone with patreon cash in the US were annoyed we couldn't go to Japan for like two years of COVID
Well, it got shared here, didn't it? We're all engaging in it, driving ad revenue. (Or, would be, had it not been removed)

Wow I'm actually surprised Youtube stepped in on this one, since they rarely do. Hopefully it sends a strong message to the channel owner - according to another commenter here apparently this wasn't their first time doing something like this
To be fair, exposure does not usually imply complicity, unless you failed to report something in a situation where as a layman you could tell this is legally questionable.
That is, clicking on a link then downvoting might be enough for you in regards to handling it. Yeah, it would have been better to either never click on it or flat out report it (Youtube has now taken down the video, phew), but that goes beyond what someone just clicking on some link could reasonably be expected to do.
Because it does, for a certain definition of "good". It's blatant ragebait and OP swallowed it whole, then felt like sharing. That's exactly how it's intended to work and OP is either in on it or was played like a fiddle.
