@Karma baby! Would YouTube be at all concerned that the headline for Billy's story included their name? I understand that there have been other YouTubers who have fucked up, but do YouTube take seriously this sort of thing?
What would you advise a client to do in this scenario? Ride it out, do a cry me a river flog, close up shop? Can a YouTuber come back from this outing?
@Luna20 how would you re-sell Billy's product?
My opinion is they ride it out. No mention at all, and get someone (not Ma Metherick or Shadie) to monitor comments.
Billy is arrogant. He's not going to do a Michael crying video x2. In his eyes, he's not the victim.
In his eyes he 'had' to desert from the Household Calvary because of bullying, whereas we Tattlers know, it was because he was about to be deployed overseas so he no longer would be sitting outside Buckingham Palace on his horse.
His reason for stealing from many French Catholic churches has nothing to do with being against the church but is more than opportunistic. Thinking back to 2014, the British TV series Salvage Hunters was at its peak (it started in 2011), Antiques dealer Drew Pritchard " travels the length and breadth of the country in search of elusive gems and other magnificent objects".
Drew also travelled to Europe to find goods in France with not only dealers but also at markets. Old Billy saw an opening with an attention to French antiques. What's a better way to make a buck than stealing (rather than buying) French church artifacts and selling them on. Easy money.
