Mark Laita and Soft White Underbelly

Who's watched it and do you think he's truly messed up/doing trauma porn? He crosses the line in SO many ways interviewing people from Skid Row, etc and using bro psychology on them--blaming them for being in the situation, armchair diagnosing them. In his latest one he says he's an adrenaline junkie and I'm sure he gets off on interviewing addicts and mentally ill people. What gives? Or is it just Jerry Springer by another name?

Some of the people he's interviewed have gone on to do their own YouTube series. I think the most interesting one was the interbred West Virginia family he "adopted" and set up a go fund me for. Apparently he stopped managing the money because of their inability to develop any financial acumen. I have watched several of the interviews of other people some of them are some of the most heart-wrenching stories you'll ever hear and surprising that these folks are still alive. He interviews people we don't want to know anything about because they're part of 5% bottom feeders of society but we're curious about them hence the popularity of his channel.

I look forward to watching Soft White Underbelly. Sometimes it's heartbreaking. Other times it's just sad and unfortunate. And other times it's uplifting when someone breaks their addiction and turns their life around.
