well, when you make videos and have such a huge audience of hundreds of thousands of people, you need to be very careful of what you say and do because essentially you are a role model, whether you like it or not! you can go around saying what you want and expect for kids to not take you seriously because his fan base takes what he says and what he does, what he asks them to do very seriously! and when you have that many people watching you every day, there's no telling what influence you could have over those people...he needs to watch what he says and understand that there are young kids watching his vids and make sure he lives up to his popularity by accepting the fact that he's a role model and he should accept the responsibility for setting an example for his fans! and that goes for every youtuber out there who can't filter their mouths and thoughts, simply cuz they want more views!!!
