Vidcon is awful. Panels at vidcon aren’t thoroughly checked at all! Creators I know in real life (personall) were on a panel years ago where one fellow panelist was freaking deadnamed by someone on the stage. They didn’t even apologize when called out, so this made me question the caliber of guests. They are not guaranteed to be high quality, referenced or even checked for problematic possibilities. Anyone can start a podcast, anyone can document their lives online, but not everyone will be good humans. When it’s a “look at me, look at me” type event, then of course the level of morality will drop. They all choose fame over humanity whenever given the chance.
