Yeah, I hate it to the point of being personally offended. It has nothing to do with Johnny Cash's rendition. I'd probably feel a bit better, but not much, if it were advertised as a NIN mashup.

Yeah that’s kind of the theme of the YouTube channel - I think it’s hilarious honestly, but maybe you have to go into it knowing what to expect.
Yeah, based on the parent, and the genius of the musicians involved, I was expecting something more than the sum of its parts. Hurt is an incredibly powerful song, and the Cash rendition imbues it with another beautiful layer.

As a joke, I can see it being funny, but it was a jarring way to experience it.

I'm sorry, I probably should have advertised that better.
NIN and Cash have equal billing on that video. Many people might only know Cash's rendition...
It's definitely in the realm of "soulless"
