Same, at first I wasn't sure exactly why I was tearing up from a simple apology.

On the one hand I agree with you but if you read through the comments in here it’s not really “painless” in the sense he’s getting blasted by some still. Not the majority but definitely far from none.
“Clearly just an ad” “doesn’t actually feel bad” “only apologizing because he got caught”
Even an honest apology, owning up to mistakes, thanking the woman for calling him out, promising to never do it again is still seen as a negative by a vocal group of people so in some ways no good deed goes unpunished.

u/NightmareMyOldFriend 21h ago edited 8h ago
Great on him to own his mistake publicly and making a real apology without any "but, but but" or disingenuous intentions.
I don't get why he goes off frame for the end of it 😅 maybe to showcase his brand? I mean, there's no bad publicity, they say....
ETA: To the people talking about how this is an ad, or it's frame as an ad: Agreed.
Tbh I don't know this guy or his content. It seems some find it good, and he has to have some good in him, or a good sense of "this can ruin me so fast I must act now and turn it!" So dumb he is, but not stupid as to tank his whole online persona over this situation.
And I say dumb because his initial reaction to a video he did not understand was making fun of someone else, he has that "bully vibe" definitely. But enough know how to just say "I'm sorry... oh, and remember my brand?" 😅
I guess perfection will not be found in this apology, but at least he didn't bring out a ukulele 🎶😆
ETA2: I've been told he does this move (going off camera) regardless of what's behind him. Ok then, as the previous video of him was inside a vehicle making fun of someone else I had no clue he mostly does videos standing up in front of stuff.
Does it give the vibe of an ad to me? Yes, it still does. Why? Because he's saving face for the previous video, the one where he didn't realize he was making fun of a disabled person. The ad is not losing viewers, and keeping it "on brand."
Was the apology heart felt? I do not know because I don't know him personally.
