"I'm a 28-year-old woman who recently started watching you last year and I just want to say how let down I feel watching you and other content creators make a spectacle out of this trial. Whether or not you believe Amber Heard was a victim, the amount of ridicule and harassment she has had to deal with is beyond compare."
The viewer's message continued further, saying:
"I can't even imagine what victims of abuse feel like watching someone's life get bulldozed by the media. Even if you did try to remain a little unbiased, you did use this case for content. I just don't have any more words for how disappointing this is to see."

The YouTuber claimed the high viewership during the trial was embarrassing and compared it to his previous content:
"This is sad to look at for me. This is embarrassing because I have put work and effort and passion into projects like Mogul Money or the poker event or whatever else and they were dwarfed by me being a vehicle in which people would consume a court case they would have watched anyway."

The Los Angeles native took a look at the updates posted by both the celebrities on their respective social media handles after the defamation case ended. The eight-minute-long video ended with him stating:
