Systemic corner cutting and a total disregard for safety are cultural issues with many to blame, it seems weird just to target anger at youtube celebrities simply because they didn’t post a comment about it. 4

Try reading the article next time.

Last week, hundreds of students lashed back against these YouTube stars after three young civil services aspirants, all in their 20s, lost their lives to drowning when the low-lying illegally built basement of an IAS coaching center in Delhi flooded due to a drainage issue… Nearly all of the new-age YouTube instructors first built personal brands and millions of subscribers online, and then added offline spaces. Most of the physical spaces are seen to be just as unsafe as the academy where the deaths took place — overcrowded classrooms, illegal basements, fire safety violations. In the past week, nearly all have been sealed by Delhi authorities, at least for the moment.

a little further down, emphasis my own

Though the famous online names are not directly linked with these deaths, students feel betrayed by the lack of vocal or visible support. They believe none of them would be running profitable businesses or be household names if it were not for them.

So again, why are people getting angry at the YouTubers?

I mean the article made it sound like a standard tutorial grifters, so I’m not sure I feel bad for them, but I still have that question.

The article is not very clear on this, but I think the training center was run by one of the YouTubers.

Not by the one that they terrorized tho. Complete lunatic behaviour.
