The influencer that was disrespectful towards a food truck in Japan is now facing massive backlash. He has now issued an apology for his actions. Let’s recap, he messaged a food truck in Japan and asked to do a review. He arrived two days early, brought a friend unannounced and then proceeded to spit out his food after he claimed he didn’t like it. I can’t help but feel that this is scripted and feels forced to me. I’ve watched his videos many times, back when he was first starting out I think he was genuine, he gave his honest opinion good or bad, but he did it respectfully. I feel as he got bigger in followers, he had to create some shock value to differentiate himself from all the other people doing the same style of videos. That’s why I think he started being rude and disrespectful to others, is to create a buzz around his name. I’ve always felt that I am entitled to my opinion, however I think I can express my opinion and be true to myself without maliciously bringing down others as well. I know many of these people are doing these videos for the money, that has always been clear to me. However I feel it can still be done in such a way that is valuable to the viewers while being honest at the same time as well. I don’t think people like him would even be apologizing or regretting their actions if it wasn’t affecting their bottom line.
