Global Reactions
Appeals for the safety of these YouTubers are now coming from all corners of the world. Many analysts believe that this incident is a stark warning to other Pakistani content creators, urging them to tread carefully and avoid addressing the ground realities of Pakistan. At the same time, some people claim that these YouTubers painted a distorted image of Pakistan and praised India to attract a larger audience and earn more revenue from YouTube. This theory stems from the fact that they earned significantly more from views coming from India. The sudden disappearance of these YouTubers has only added fuel to the growing speculation surrounding the situation.
How Pakistan People Reacted
Many people believe that these YouTubers portrayed Pakistan negatively and highlighted India’s strengths as a strategy to attract more viewers and increase ad revenue, particularly from the large Indian audience.
