Why did he pay two men $5 to say well I wont say it ... no defence in that really is there ,he should have known he would have had the rap for doing such a thing .why even think about saying such a thing let alone pay someone to do it for him . Im not religious in any way im all for freedom of speech but if you play with fire your gona get burnt.
I explain the reasons why and give links to others who explain it in their own words, so if you want to learn why, you can.
And yes, I am sure he was trying to be provocative to get attention. That's how he makes money. This is very Trump-like in the sense that he says something he knows the media will go haywire over and in their red anger do and say things that discredit them and give more exposure to their target. It's really a fascinating way to troll the media, I think.
I dont watch him myself too much click bait lol all I can say he knew he was going to get back lash off it and still did it ..
I studied him for a while before my game launched. I wanted him to play it, and I was able to organize a campaign that was successful in doing that. Ever sense then I've loosely followed him with an anthropological curiosity: how can someone get so famous and so successful on an ever-evolving medium (YouTube) and stay relevant? And he's managed to do that for years without any sort of marketing team or branding coaches. It's quite an amazing thing.
It was a joke. His persona on video is always an act. People/Kids and Media need to understand that, but instead they chose to ignore all that just to make a big thing out of this for personal gain.
