That’s an interesting thing I’ve observed–we seem to be past “cancel culture” or it only gets credit when a known scoundrel gets de-platformed. We’re in the age of too-big-to-fail celebrities. If they have a large enough base, there’s unlikely anything they can do to completely lose them or fall that far into obscurity.
Cancel culture only really is a thing when the person on the receiving end is capable of feeling the tiniest shred of embarrassment/remorse for what they’ve done (not being caught). People fade into obscurity when they get “cancelled” because the massive outcry from the public convinces them they can’t ignore that what they’re doing is wrong anymore. In the case of most fascist hucksters (as well as Mr Beast), they are incapable of seeing that what they’ve done is wrong, so they can never be convinced of the need to stop
