I absolutely love how fired up the average YouTube commenter was about Honey... for about 72 hours. People completely unaffected in any way were demanding class action lawsuits, etc with seemingly no clue why they were even upset. Then the subject completely left their minds.

This observation is of course entirely anecdotal, but manufactured outrage is so fascinating, even if it currently eroding the very foundations of society.

I wasn't affected, but the outrage seemed real. People understand theft. If you're going to cozy up to a group of people and then pick all their pockets, you better be ready to be an enemy to that group of people.

Fine, but why don't they care anymore?

I watch an embarrassing amount of YouTube and it was virtually all I heard about for 72 hours and then any mention at all vanished.
