Thank you. Finally.
My mum had cancer. The number of such bullshit videos i got sent, offering no real hope, was painful. It's heartbreaking to toy with people in that situation.
Could be very profitable though. Use the proceeds to buy genuine cancer therapy and medication. Silver linings!
That is textbook emotional manipulation.
Having been in that position, no. I would not appreciate being emotionally fucked up.
"Silver linings".
YouTube didn't exist when an Astrocytoma got my old man so this avenue was closed to us and we had to rely on ordinary misinformation. People don't realise how lucky they are these days.
