The problem is these internet personalities have IRL influence and have committed IRL crimes and have gotten away with it because of their influence.
Andrew Tate evaded rape and human trafficking charges he himself admitted he was guilty of because of his influence.
Jake Paul also has credible accusations of rape he's also evaded, while being a big MAGA promoter to dumb youth that will eventually be voting age.
And Mr. Beast has been not so subtly supporting and promoting fascists like Elon Musk, while opening businesses for tyrants such as the Saudi Royal family, all in front of hundreds of millions of young audience members, all who will eventually reach voting age. Not to mention all the controversies that were revealed such as hiring pedophiles to appear in his videos, abusing employees, etc.
