I mean this guy is just incredible. It’s time we stop bashing him and start applauding him. Is there anything this guy won’t do for views?
If you’re not addicted to YouTube like I am then allow me to catch you up. Famous, and controversial, YouTube star, Logan Paul just dropped his highly promoted documentary in which he delves into the (spherical) world of flat earthers. This is the trailer:
Now I only watched the trailer. I’m not watching the actual documentary. This is half cause I’m a hater and half because this is a complete troll. But regardless of my strong feelings against Logan Paul and this trash, copy-cat, content, I can’t shake the feeling of absolute respect for how far this dude is willing to go to stay relevant. It’s absolutely mental. If you watched the trailer you saw that the big reveal is that during the course of making this documentary he starts to actually believe in the flat earth theory. This man knows that a flat earth documentary in which he just makes fun of these nutjobs is boring but a flat earth documentary in which he starts to become a flat earther has juice. That baby can sell! Which is all Logan Paul cares about. AND THAT, is why it’s impossible to not admire this man.
This is such an intense example of selling your soul for views. I mean there are tons of controversial topics. Ones with many sides and many arguments per side. You can pick any of them and claim that you have bought into the valid arguments that were presented in front of you. But not flat earth theory. There are no sides in flat earth theory. The Earth is not flat. Anyone with sense understands that. Which takes this documentary to a whole different level. He can’t hide behind “sound” arguments. He had to come out and say “hey everyone I’m willing to pretend to be a nutjob because I love being famous and that’s it. That’s the whole thing. No other reason but to get people talking and idiots to write blogs about me”
Boy those views must be yummy. Oh man I can’t even imagine. I mean to sacrifice your entire identity, to go in front of your friends, your family, and the world, and admit openly that you are a dummy. What could those views even taste like? Must be something special to give it up all like this.
When it comes to flat earth theory, the real truth is that those of us writing about it and it’s “believers” are the real problem.
