hey quick question... why am i (someone who never engages w true crime) being recommended content on youtube about christina grimmie’s murder? and also wtf? i guess 7 years is a long time for the internet but if you knew about christina grimmie before that happened, no it’s not. that news was fucking chilling and it’s never going to be normal and it feels so weird to make it like some retrospective true crime folklore. that feels really unnecessary to her legacy to just present her as a “murdered youtuber.” stop!!!!!!!

#the video's from two days ago & if you've been recommended the video too... listen. idk the creator of that video #so im not gonna critique them too harshly. and i KNOW the youtube game is about engagement and getting clicks #they didnt even put christina's name in the title. they refer to her simply as a murdered youtuber #stop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#am i being recommended this because i sometimes watch youtube drama/commentary? (i dont watch it as much as the algorithm wants me to)#(but yeah i do occasionally click on youtube retrospectives and keep up w a little scandal here and there... not so much)#(ive definitely tried to consume less of it over the years and i only have a few specific channels i really follow)#PLEASE dont reduce christina grimmie to 'murdered youtuber' i find that so offensive and distasteful #she was a really big legend on the platform in her lifetime and she did so much w her short life #seriously fuck that. call her her NAME and if you make videos about her in retrospect obviously you cant gloss over the tragedy #but you shouldnt make it the highlight of her story. seriously. SERIOUSLY!!!!!!#text post
