It's "dangerous things"

I think it pays (money) to post about doing stuff that would make people like it and cringe at the same time.

(I wonder how much simone gertz made from her Truckla videos, which included sawzalling into a brand new model 3?)

There's a real difference between chopping a car in half and injecting stuff into your body.
There's also a similarity, which is that they are both publicity stunts that draw their attention-getting power from "cringe" reactions in people who hear of them.
