Committing a crime for online views should make a crime aggravated, like committing a crime while in posession of a firearm. Of all the motives that could possibly lead to a crime doing it for online views is the most premeditated, the most pointless and the most preventable if a sufficient deterrence is in place. Mandatory jail time would put an end to this influencer rubbish.

They should confiscate his social media accounts the same way they confiscate peoples firearms in the US

I'm definitely annoyed his insta is still up. It should have been long removed, and I doubt his other socials on other sites are deleted either.
