One of the more troubling outgrowths of the propagation of the Internet is the rise of the “lolcow” culture, which is mocking and dissecting Internet figures for entertainment. Figures like DSPGaming, Wings of Redemption, or LowTierGod have become recurring targets, with YouTube documentaries and commentary channels exploiting their struggles for views. Many alleged documentaries blur the line between journalism and pure harassment, turning personal hardships into spectacle. Sensationalized narratives encourage dogpiling, making real people into endless sources of ridicule. As audiences reward negativity, the question remains: should platforms and creators be held accountable for the harm they perpetuate?
