Am I the only one that thinks andrew steele’s latest YouTube video is in EXTREMELY poor taste?

For weeks now, he’s had so many of his loyal fans feeling so bad for him for his loss of his Newell when it burned. That fire could have happened to any of us, I feel we all related to his tragedy on a personal level. So now he posts this latest video, pulling our heart strings into  his story even more……only to find out it’s a hoax; an April fools day joke.
I believe a significant amount of his viewers share the same opinion on this video Bryan. I watched a fair bit of his videos and woke up to the GoFundMe page posted all over thinking it was all a joke until he posted his own video to confirm the accident. I personally felt his sadness in that video over the loss of his close possessions and coach and was taken aback by the support he received from Newell themselves and his viewers. This video, however, well... it couldn't have happened at a worse time (in my opinion). Furthermore, I don't believe Brad was acting in that video as he was visibly upset while Andrew & Shay just laughed it off. I don't know many people who feel for others who are in the sales business but Brad was one of the few I felt bad for while watching this video. I just hope that Andrew somehow repairs the damage that video has caused.
Regarding your last sentence, it seems doubtful that andrew feels any guilt, as after I spoke my mind on his Facebook group I was removed and blocked immediately. Kinda sad.
Yes indeed. I have a feeling that Andrew's poor judgment here might cost him quite a bit on several fronts. My first thought was how it appeared that Brad was a cynic who had just awakened to the idea that there could be something this wonderful happen in the circles he travels in... until it wasn't. Very sad for him, not to mention embarrassing.
Give the kid a break.  It was April's fools day.  Brad is fine, trust me
andrew has done a great deal to increase the awareness and i believe the value of our coaches.

hopefully he will find another newell soon.
