Rampant cancel culture on the internet renders this proverb moot. Yeah, this is definitely down to him being talked about within the XIV community and totally not down to the fact that as you mentioned; a new patch drops.

Happens on a regular basis, ironically enough. I'm just stating that rampant cancel culture can and does render the proverb "no such thing as bad press" completely and utterly moot. But if you want to use PewDiePie as an example then yes he did get canceled. He lost his YouTube Red series as a result of the antisemitic comments he made and the publicity this got therein. So evidence to the contrary.

Thanks for giving me an example though to completely prove my point. LOL

I'm not sure you're even reading. The proverb "No such thing as bad publicity" wrests on the simple fact of the matter that what you say or do is without consequence. Traditionally people would say or do what they want, sure it would get a bad rep, but it was otherwise inconsequential to everything else. However, cancel culture and how rampant it is now has led to bad publicity now coming with its own set of consequences.

Whether he still is or isn't the most prominent streamer in the world is irrelevant. The fact remains that he was cut from his YouTube red program as a result of his antisemitic comments. This is by definition cancel culture.

It's a very difficult feat to put people in a position where they withdraw personal support from a person. Professional support is however an entirely different issue. Streamers and YouTubers have lost brand deals and shows with partners from the publicity they've received. Hence why the proverb no longer applies.

No, buy you see, the millionaire guy lost one contract that didn't impact him at all in the long run while continuing to make millions through other venues.

Can we get a pleb "GOTTEM!" in chat?

If I'm interpreting this correctly.

Sure, but the simple fact of the matter his bad publicity at the time lost him a contract, as it has done with other social media stars their brand deals or partnerships. The point isn't that "Can just make more money lul" - It was a counterpoint to "No such thing as bad publicity" which relies on the simple fact that all attention in the media will further the cause or agenda even if said attention paints them in a bad light. Cancel culture has largely encouraged accountability for what you say.

Or are you going to imply to me that PewDiePie being mentioned across the media as a result of his antisemitic comments and thusly losing his contract helped to forward an agenda or cause? Fact of the matter remains he would have been better off without the publicity. alike many people, hence bad.

It's totally not like you just read 1 comment without reading the stream before joyfully attaching yourself to the discussion. But of course. I hope I'm misinterpreting this.

He sure did get mentioned on the news when that happened and that most likely got people to remember that he still exists. He probably gained tons of viewers too.

The attention given by media meant more people who didn't know what a Pewdiepie was went to check his videos, increasing his view count, increasing his revenue. So yes, no publicity is bad publicity. What he lost in a contract he more than made up in views.

If you want another example you have the Fine Bros. with their child labour react channel that got cancelled twice and is going stronger than ever.

He probably didn't need the news to remind people of his existence. But you're once again missing the point. That cancel culture and the overall culture of the internet and media these days have people being held accountable for their takes, or associations which is what makes "No such thing as bad publicity" invalid. Content Creators and Businesses are routinely subjected to the consequences of bad publicity that they would have been better off without engaging in or subjecting themselves to.

I see I'm going to need to spell this out. No such thing as bad publicity wrests on the simple case of that given piece of publicity having no consequence whatsoever. Some rebound from it, from otherwise external or irrelevant circumstances. Some others simply won't.

John Galliano was suspended from Dior for antisemitic rants that were recorded. Or are you going to imply that this helped further his agenda in some way too? As I'm sure the allegations of several celebrities accused of woman beating, including that of Chris Brown went without any consequence or damage whatsoever.

The fact of the matter if you ask any company or business whether there's any such thing as bad publicity, I'm sure they'll very quickly refute it, considering how nightmarish these can be for many to deal with. You seem to be under the delusion that because they were able to bounce back or recover that it went without any consequence or negativities at all. When the fact remains that many of these people of businesses would have been MUCH better off without the publicity in the first place.
