Cole Hastings is worried about how modern entertainment is destroying people's ability to think and relate to each other. Content creators need to protect their reputation because once it's damaged, it never comes back, and platforming the wrong person can ruin you years later.

Most dating coaches online are just projecting their own failures onto young people who trust them completely.
