Today, I’d like to speak about Jack Doherty. Most of you probably don’t know who that is, and for that, you might be glad. He is famous for his frantic online activity. He streams live to entertain and often does stuff that most people think is silly or downright reckless. In fact, just a couple of days ago, he crashed his McLaren. How surprising can this be? His behaviour both during the crash and in after times raises some pretty serious questions.
Who is Jack Doherty?
Jack is a popular content creator. He has millions of views, and he earns a lot. Many people watch him for his outrageous antics. In general, however, his content lacks substance. He seems to care more about the number of views and clicks than about real-life consequences.

Understanding the Actions of Jack Doherty After His Crash
The Crash
Thankfully, in the latest crash, no one was seriously injured. However, the way Jack reacted during the situation was frightening. Earlier he focused on safety and well-being, but when crisis struck in that particular moment of doom, he seems more interested in recording the aftermath. It is scary that at the time when people are most vulnerable, he is too concerned about the angle of the video.
Live Streaming in Crisis
Jack was broadcasting live when the accident happened. He was speeding down a highway in the rain, looking at his phone simultaneously. That distracted focus would have surely meant deaths. His friend was hurt, bleeding badly, yet Jack instinctively picked up the camera and kept on shooting. That speaks volumes to an alarming mentality that considers content over life.
His Friend’s Injury
In the crash, his friend Michael was injured. There were blood spots on his face, and he must have been badly in need of help. Here is the problem: Jack never bothered to inquire about Michael’s condition. Instead, he just instructs him to continue recording. It is worth noticing how something as serious as this situation can be transformed into an episode of a video game. The bottom line is, they could have both died. All Jack cared about was that everything should have been taped.

Shocking Priorities
Instead of being halted, the camera continued rolling after the accident. Jack recorded himself asking people to keep his camera while he was being dragged from the car. It is evident that he was oblivious to how serious the incident actually was. He seems to be more concerned about getting footage than actually whether or not he is safe.
Recording at the Hospital
He even videotaped Michael in the hospital getting stitches. This moment should have been private, time to recover, but it had to become more fodder for views.
This is a pernicious trend wherein personal trauma simply becomes another crackpot opportunity for views.
Impact on the Audience
We then have Jack’s actions on the viewers. Something for sure is; today, people care much more about how crazy something looks than the actual consequences of the real-life situation. The first reaction to something crazy is to pull out a phone and record when help should be done instead. It can build a culture that may lead people to becoming insensitive to many issues in real life.

Reaction among the audiences
There are two kinds of viewers in such scenarios. Some viewers truly care for the people involved, but on the other hand, most of them just want the next viral clip. They do it only so they can share the video on social media and get attention. This gives a warning sign about the trend inside our society where entertainment is practiced over empathy. End
After the crash, there is something disturbing one sees from the acts of Jack Doherty. He specially demonstrates that there exist some individuals among content creators that at least appear not to care much about safety but content. Such attitude might become dangerous. It’s up to viewers to think critically before consuming content and what behavior they want to support. Well, no one lives behind a video screen. Let’s hope we can begin to turn our focus back to the direction of caring for one another and not just capturing that next big moment for views.
Final Thoughts
This incident reminds us of the responsibilities attached to being a content creator. Life is not a game, and the threats for our making can easily become grueling. In hope that Jack and those of his kind learn this and distinguish between clicks and views from safety and wellbeing.
