    Is this much different that the piles of prewritten obituaries news outlets have for pretty much every person they would report dying?

    Unironically, it looks like today is your first day on YT, OP.

    This BS happens on YT all the time unfortunately.

    The news also make stories right away, so what matters is whether it’s good and thoughtful, not if it is very soon after the death. But I doubt these are either of those things.

      What do you expect. You can just read a few news articles, summarize what you’ve read in a few hundred words in a Microsoft word document, type their name into YouTube so you can find footage to edit into your video. All this can probably be done within a couple of hours of the news of Sinead O’connor’s death breaking. Easy to make and guaranteed views.

      They have a few million subs. Do you honestly think me having their name displayed makes any difference? I want to highlight this issue without having to dance around it by not naming names.

    Welcome to the world of today. Someone else’s death, is someone else’s ‘happiness’ in terms of gaining money, fame or just becoming more populate.

    Bitch was crazy and had lost custody of two of her children on two different occasions. Wonder what her other children thought after she said she saw no point in living after one of her sons (that she no longer had custody of) killed himself.

    She always seemed like a complete nightmare person. I wish professional help had worked. Maybe then she wouldn’t have been a disastrous wreck all the time.
