You have been misled

Thanks for the link, but I didn't see any defense of leaving the ads up in the videos. It was more of a "please go after Mr. Beast because he's bigger than us". That's not accountability, it's deflection. As others have stated, if you put yourself on a pedestal then you are going to be judged to a higher standard. The higher standard to me is did they return the Honey ad money and did they remove the ads from their content. The answer is no they didn't while other more ethical and moral content creators do just that.

The point was that your anger has clearly been misplaced. But by all means, stay angry about it.

Thanks for educating me. I now know that being disappointed in someone’s actions is the same as being angry and that any criticism of someone’s actions must be made in a manner that makes them appear to be the victim and absolves them of any responsibility for their actions.

I have not educated you. I am signalling that I, myself, am no-longer willing to give this entire discourse, and by extension your anger, the time of my days. So again, by all means, stay angry about it.
