MoistCr1TiKaL slams Netflix's decision to produce Jake Paul documentary, dubs The Problem Child 'bad guy of the Internet'
PUERTO RICO: Popular content creator MoistCr1TiKaL is expressing his utter bewilderment over Netflix's decision to produce a documentary on Jake Paul. Known for his candid and straightforward approach to sharing opinions, MoistCr1TiKaL is no stranger to voicing his thoughts on various news stories and even calling out entire platforms in the past.
Netflix's announcement that Jake Paul, the YouTube star who transitioned into a boxing career, will have his own episode on the sports series 'Untold,' has left Moist with strong feelings. He believes that the documentary may not resonate well with audiences, as he claims that nobody wants to watch it. As a prominent figure in the online content community, MoistCr1TiKaL's comments have sparked discussions among his viewers and fans. His honest critiques have become a hallmark of his content, and his willingness to speak his mind on significant topics has garnered both praise and attention from his audience.
'No one gives a f**k'
In a scathing critique titled 'Nobody Cares,' MoistCr1TiKaL took to his YouTube channel on July 21 to express his frustration and disapproval of Netflix's decision to produce a documentary on Jake Paul. Holding nothing back, he put the video-streaming platform on blast, questioning their judgment in investing resources into a project centered around the controversial YouTube star.
MoistCr1TiKaL acknowledged that he might not be an expert on what makes Netflix profitable, but he made it abundantly clear that, in his opinion, a Jake Paul documentary is not the answer. He criticized Netflix for being out of touch and seemingly willing to greenlight any project without considering its potential.
He said, “I’m not an expert on what’s going to make Netflix a ton of money, but I can tell you what will never make them money, a Jake Paul documentary,” he said. “I think the Jake Paul documentary they have slated to come out pretty soon is the perfect example of how out of touch Netflix is and how willing they are to just say yes to any project ever.”
According to MoistCr1TiKaL, the lack of interest in a Jake Paul documentary stems from the fact that the YouTuber has already extensively documented his life in his vlogs, particularly living in the shadow of his brother's fame. He asserted that there is nothing about Jake Paul's life that remains unknown to the public or that would be of significant interest to viewers.
He added: “No one wants to watch a f**king Jake Paul documentary. This guy has vlogged every second of his life living in his brother’s shadow since the time that he was an actual teenager. There is nothing about his life that people either don’t know or care about if they don’t know. Like no one gives a f**k.”
MoistCr1TiKaL acknowledged that the documentary doesn't solely revolve around the younger Paul brother, Jake Paul. Despite this, he firmly believes it's a "waste of a Netflix original." While recognizing potential other angles, he maintains that the overall content doesn't justify Netflix's investment in the project.
“Him just whining about being the villain of boxing or the bad guy of the internet or the Disney Channel star turned douchebag. Like who cares? Who f**king cares?”
