YouTube video by Abroad in Japan What is Happening to Japan?

Sharing because Chris Broad actually does good work to present Japan in a balanced way with journalistic integrity, aside from the (albeit necessary) clickbait titles bc that's just how you survive on YT.

Here he addresses some ACTUAL unethical clickbait shit done by a tiktoker.

Give him a follow.
