Had to choose between supporting a canceled creator I liked or sticking to my principles

I followed this lady who did DIY home decor on YouTube for years. She seemed so genuine, like a friend working on projects in her garage. Then she got called out for some pretty nasty comments she made years ago on Twitter. I had a real choice to make. Do I keep watching her new apology videos and comeback content because I missed her style? Or do I walk away? I ended up unsubscribing. It felt weird at first, like losing a hobby. But after a few months I found a newer creator who has a similar vibe without the baggage. Has anyone else found it hard to let go of a creator you used to enjoy?

Three months after the apology video, yeah, but what specific thing in that apology made you finally decide she was full of it?

It's the same deal with friends or brands we outgrow.

@terry_carter15 hit it, but how long did you actually wait before unsubscribing?
