I'm sorry for the things I've done wrong surrounding this situation. I'm 100% at fault. I'll own up for my mistakes
Even if he was given fake information, all he was doing was giving people that information. If that information was so obviously fake, then there's no reason to take it seriously, and if that information isn't so obviously fake, then he did nothing wrong and it's an honest mistake. At the end of the day, no one was harmed or negatively impacted whatsoever, so what point is there in hating him for it?
That's not a reason to hate him.
The OP begins by saying "I hate would be journalists". That has nothing to do with ButterflyEffect23 as an individual, it's just a classification. To my knowledge no one told him not to make these updates, at least not publicly—in fact, the majority of the updates he made were highly upvoted and people were thanking him for updates. He might've blown things up to a crazy proportion, but definitely not intentionally—this is VLR; everything gets blown out of proportion. And the people making bets on the situation are just outright stupid and have nothing to do with him.
At the end of the day there's no reason to hate him. He didn't really do anything wrong, and if he did it wasn't in bad intention. And if you had that kind of information you'd probably share it too, but in a less professional and more biased way.
btw, in the url you can just change the #bottom to #19 and it takes you to #19
