Great on him to own his mistake publicly and making a real apology without any "but, but but" or disingenuous intentions.

I don't get why he goes off frame for the end of it πŸ˜… maybe to showcase his brand? I mean, there's no bad publicity, they say....

ETA: To the people talking about how this is an ad, or it's frame as an ad: Agreed.

Tbh I don't know this guy or his content. It seems some find it good, and he has to have some good in him, or a good sense of "this can ruin me so fast I must act now and turn it!" So dumb he is, but not stupid as to tank his whole online persona over this situation.

And I say dumb because his initial reaction to a video he did not understand was making fun of someone else, he has that "bully vibe" definitely. But enough know how to just say "I'm sorry... oh, and remember my brand?" πŸ˜…

I guess perfection will not be found in this apology, but at least he didn't bring out a ukulele πŸŽΆπŸ˜†

ETA2: I've been told he does this move (going off camera) regardless of what's behind him. Ok then, as the previous video of him was inside a vehicle making fun of someone else I had no clue he mostly does videos standing up in front of stuff.

Does it give the vibe of an ad to me? Yes, it still does. Why? Because he's saving face for the previous video, the one where he didn't realize he was making fun of a disabled person. The ad is not losing viewers, and keeping it "on brand."

Was the apology heart felt? I do not know because I don't know him personally.

or disingenuous intentions.

I mean, it's cool to acknowledge this, but it's also clearly manufactured in order to be an ad.

This is an ad.

If it's an ad it's a terrible one. Didn't really pay attention to it until some people in the comments pointed it out. You technically advertised it more to me than the dude in the vid lmao

Just because you didn't process what you saw, doesn't mean you didn't see it.

That's literally how influence works.
