They do not need to. You only need one journalist from a newspaper to investigate him and find the accusers and report on it. You do not even need to pay them for it just tip them off. In this context probably people saw his start rising and checked if they could find some dirt on him. Or one of victims saw him get famous and contacted a journalist. It looks expedient but his increased coverage could have simply triggered the research and now it looks like they only did it because of his covid message.

No need to speculate, the accusers said specifically that they "came forward" because of the popularity of his YouTube channel. It was printed in the Times. The fact that some people still listen to them after that is a damning indictment of how evil #believeallwomen actually is. If they can't be bothered reporting accusations until there political reasons to do so they should automatically be found guilty of slander, imo.

Sure but if you think that she is getting paid then you might not trust what she is saying. > The fact that some people still listen to them after that is a damning indictment of how evil #believeallwomen actually is. The believe all women phrase was stupid the moment it got uttered. Only extremists actually believe it. They should have said listen to all women but not believe everything blindly. Most people can get behind listening to victims when they come forward. > If they can't be bothered reporting accusations until there political reasons to do so they should automatically be found guilty of slander, imo. Their motives do not matter to me if they tell the truth. If he is a predator he should face punishment for his crimes. But until a court convicts him he is innocent and has a right to a fair trial.
