Sinead O'Connor hasn't even be dead for 24 hours and this shitty Youtube channel is already after slapping together a video to milk her death and her son's death for YouTube views.

Is this much different that the piles of prewritten obituaries news outlets have for pretty much every person they would report dying?

I was thinking much the same. It's shitty, but nothing new

Unironically, it looks like today is your first day on YT, OP.

This BS happens on YT all the time unfortunately.

The news also make stories right away, so what matters is whether it's good and thoughtful, not if it is very soon after the death. But I doubt these are either of those things.

And the sad thing is, it happens on YT all the time when someone dies

What do you expect. You can just read a few news articles, summarize what you've read in a few hundred words in a Microsoft word document, type their name into YouTube so you can find footage to edit into your video. All this can probably be done within a couple of hours of the news of Sinead O'connor's death breaking. Easy to make and guaranteed views.

Thanks for providing them with free publicity!

They have a few million subs. Do you honestly think me having their name displayed makes any difference? I want to highlight this issue without having to dance around it by not naming names.

What did happen to the band aqua?

I hear they're still trying to get Doctor Jones to wake up now.

This is why I mostly just watch old TV shows and movies on YouTube.

It’s YouTube. What do you expect? It’s the most popular video platform that everyone seems to despise.

Which make’s absolutely no sense at all.

Welcome to the world of today. Someone else’s death, is someone else’s ‘happiness’ in terms of gaining money, fame or just becoming more populate.

Bitch was crazy and had lost custody of two of her children on two different occasions. Wonder what her other children thought after she said she saw no point in living after one of her sons (that she no longer had custody of) killed himself.

She always seemed like a complete nightmare person. I wish professional help had worked. Maybe then she wouldn't have been a disastrous wreck all the time.
