Sarah & Josh (POG family)

[girlwhowrites]

All I can say is, I'm happy I have AdBlock because he's not getting any revenue from my clicks.

So the truth of the whole matter is this:

cancer is torturing Sarah’s mind, body, and spirit.

Josh is capitalizing on her suffering AND on the minions who have no ability to think critically about anything, which in and of itself is also exploitation.

You tube and its viewership, so our society in general encourages and literally rewards exploitation of human frailties and then applauds itself for doing so.

I don’t care if he made millions and put it in trust funds for foster kids and his own kids, the end would not justify the means. This. Is. WRONG. All of it and will only end up hurting people in the end.

Joshs words " cancer is ravaging Sarah's brain". An awful thing for him to say without batting an eyelid.

 

[helpmeunderstand?]

Those saying Josh needs to stop? Why? He is making cash.
If people stop watching, Josh would stop posting.
Unsure why anyone wants to watch Sarah's transition.

You are, of course, correct. Again, either morbid or genuine human curiosity?

and one more thing…the censorship that content creators engage in is also deplorable. And it probably massively contributes to a channel owner’s sense of power and control. Also not one of our best human traits at times.

Anyone who has negative comments about them sharing their family member should honestly not comment! Only positive comments here please!

 

[helpmeunderstand?]

AND the title: “still putting on a smile”

yes, a thousand times yes, that is the problem exactly! Can we no longer see a difference between putting on a smile and actually smiling??????????!!!!!!!

A lot of those comments are ridiculous. I just saw one that said, " Sarah was beautiful before this disease, but she’s even more beautiful now! she is an earth angel, and her light is shining bright!!" More beautiful now? I get that people want to find the positive in a bad situation, but cancer is not some gift that makes people more beautiful. It's a horrible disease that breaks people down.

 

[helpmeunderstand?]

Lunacy.

OK, found one person with replies.

Do you really believe she would like this if she were totally able to know everything? I do not. This is too much--I try to watch and support but have reached my limit. Reached it before now but kept wanting to try. God bless Sarah. Good bye.

This is her sister. Sarah asked that we continue to share every part of this journey, so that others may not feel so scared about the end of life and perhaps their cancer journey. She wants people to see the beauty that continues even during the last stages of life, and that you shouldn't be hidden away from society

Didn't Josh the Asshole even say Sarah didn't want to die at home because she didn't want it to be a sad place?

I unsubscribed to Sarah and Jenny last week and just unsubbed from Paul. It's just too exploitative for me. Cancer is a horrible disease and seeing people use it to make money is repugnant to me especially the way Josh is doing it. I'm afraid Jenny will also follow in that path.

Paul is just weird. His substack is interesting. He looks like the least likely straight sex worker in Australia. And after reading one of the stories he wasn't that good at his job.

I come here for my updates now. Youtube still puts the videos in my feed and just the thumbnails saddened me.

He is disgusting,shame on him.

At first I responded to myself….. Please no! I looked at pics attached on TL and my heart sank. I am shooken up by this. This is tragic. I am blown away about the many many subscribers who respond in support of this and like it. This world is crazy.

 

[TryingMyBest]

I should probably just stick to my art videos and the Indonesian dudes making sandals out of old tires.

 

[mcl92]

I believe Paul is asking his followers to spam Jennys video in order for Jennys subscribers to notice, and start following Paul.
Jenny did the exact same thing with Tiffanys channel. Its a way to build followers quickly.

Yes, thought same. Josh is into connecting with Paul to get Paul’s subscribers. They are no fools.

I originally watched a guy who wrote horror stories, then he got cancer, documented his days and then he died Then YT started suggesting other cancer vlogs and that's how I ended up here

I think I blame all the cancer related videos on the Krocks. When Jessica started posting about her cancer my feed was flooded with cancer vids.

And Josh just posted another damn video.

Josh isn't making very good choices by not being kind to Sarah's supporters! That person wasn't even rude. But Josh's response shows his true colors. Despite all the blabbering on about how the viewers are "family," this proves that he just sees his subscribers as a bunch of strangers who never had a real connection with Sarah. It's fine if he feels that way, but can he stop it now with all the phony "family" BS?

 

[Eddertillet]

He's talking about cemetery and dealing with that now because he doesn't want to deal with that after her death.
He said calling the funeral home was one of the easiest things to do compared to the rest he's going trough.
He's "excited to celebrate Sarah" at her memorial.

Calling the funeral home wasn't easy the first time I did it for my son nor the subsequent times I did it for my dad, brother and mother.

I'm truly beginning to despise him.

 

[oldandgrey]

Who on earth calls the funeral home when the person is still alive? he’s going to call the cemetery next.
This is all so inappropriate.

He’s even ‘excited’ about organising a memorial service, but can’t start doing that till summer camp has finished.

How about waiting till Sarah is actually dead?

Sick, disgusting behaviour.

Ikr? These ladies are nuts.

 

[girlwhowrites]

It looks like Sarah's sister is copying and pasting that same message about how "this is what Sarah wanted to show" and how she wanted people to see that there's "beauty and nothing to be scared of in the end" to everyone who asks if it's the right thing to do.

Yeah, I don't buy it. Sarah was under the impression that she had at least some months ahead of her and had a really hard time thinking about death. In her last coherent video she said she didn't want to die. In fact, she said she really didn't want to die in just about every video before the hospice announcement. And you know what else she said? That she was really, really scared.

So I don't believe that between the day that she felt terrified about death and unexpectedly losing her coherence, that she sat down and told Josh and her sister that she wanted people to see the beauty at the end of life, and that she wanted people to know there wasn't anything to be afraid of. She told us many times that she was afraid of dying, as recently as less than two weeks ago. We're supposed to believe that she not only changed her mind about death being scary and communicated to the two of them that she wants it filmed? When she can barely communicate at all?
