YouTuber Trevor Jacob is facing backlash after he crashed a plane in an apparent stunt in an attempt to garner more views on his channel. Jacob, who has over 1.2 million subscribers, posted a video of the crash on his channel on May 11. In the video, Jacob can be seen flying a plane solo when it suddenly starts to lose altitude. Jacob then parachutes out of the plane, and the plane can be seen crashing into the ground.
The video quickly went viral, and many people were outraged by Jacob’s actions. Some people accused Jacob of trying to kill himself for views, while others said that he was putting others at risk by flying a plane without a license.
Jacob has since apologized for the crash, saying that he was “not thinking clearly” at the time. He has also said that he will not be posting any more videos about flying.
This incident is a reminder of the dangers of social media fame. In their quest for attention, some people are willing to put themselves and others at risk. It is important to be critical of the content that we see on social media, and to think about the motivations of the people who create it.
In addition to the dangers of social media fame, this incident also raises questions about the responsibility of social media platforms. YouTube has a responsibility to moderate its content and to remove videos that promote dangerous or harmful behavior. In this case, YouTube failed to do so, and as a result, Jacob was able to post a video of himself crashing a plane.
This incident is a wake-up call for both social media users and social media platforms. We need to be more careful about the content that we consume, and social media platforms need to do more to moderate their content. Together, we can help to create a safer online environment.
