His long time friend / YouTube partner Jim Rugg abandoned him and did the disavow social media tour. I would wager that is what put Ed over the edge. Ed was a cancel pig. His suicide note was revealing, insight to why so many people are like this. He outright said he couldn't take being on the wrong side of the mob. He knows it's vile, but self-admitted too weak to be independant.

So, he joined in the dogpiles with the rest of them over the last decade. I wonder if they all know that it will eventually come for them?

I think he shoulda just taken some time away from the internets. Travel or be a hermit. Make a plan, and come back. No need to end it all. So, either he was 100% truthful and just couldn't take being savaged by the Twitter mob, or maybe way worse shit was going to surface? I don't like the guy, but can we at least wait until someone is arrested? Or.. better, convicted? I'm guilty of forum rabble-rousing on shit like this, but I don't go after people directly, at least until shit is sorted out.

The usual suspects he named definitely delight that he did. This is why they do this. It's not for an apology, or to get your job, it's to get you to suicide. It's so they can feel powerful and relevant.
