Summary
He says their first one or two months were peaceful until Chihiro discovered his YouTube persona and extensive disclosures about her. He admits deliberately provoking arguments for 50K–100K-view drama, finding conflict rewarding and sacrificing privacy for audience growth. He acknowledges hurting Chihiro and alienating her family, yet blames YouTube’s algorithm and audience incentives for encouraging his behaviour.
Insight
This is a retrospective accountability shift, but self-justification persists through appeals to greed, algorithms, and incentives.
