The narrator shares a story about a former editor who worked on their YouTube content. The editor would often be late with his work, and when confronted about it, he confessed that he was addicted to masturbation and would often get distracted by the narrator's gameplay footage.
The narrator felt bad for the editor and continued to pay him for his work, but eventually realized that it was not a good idea to keep working with him.
The narrator then shares a personal story about a similar experience they had with a voice acting client. The client would send the narrator messages, asking about their personal life and eventually became emotionally unstable, making threats and sending creepy messages.
The narrator tried to be empathetic and recommended the client to seek professional help, but eventually stopped responding to the client's messages. The narrator reflects on how it's easy to give advice when not involved in a situation, but it's harder to take action when personally involved.
The narrator concludes that firing the editor and cutting ties with the voice acting client were the right decisions, but acknowledges that it's not always easy to take action in such situations.
