“To record and laugh at someone that’s working hard,” Swoll stated. Adding someone’s efforts to social media and laughing at them, especially when they are earnestly practicing and trying to perfect their craft, is simply offensive. He added, “Just so you can post it on social media and try to embarrass them.” Furthermore, he called the netizens cowards for just sitting in their cars and not improving themselves while trolling someone.

Later, he mentioned that the man wore a sauna suit to lose weight for a fight. Swoll emphasized the significance of treating people in the right way. Lastly, he mentioned that netizens should improve their personalities rather than mimicking people who strive to improve.

“But no you would rather shoot a video to post on social media so you can make fun of him for likes and attention and I think it’s funny that you post in your bio a Bible: Joshua 19 which talks about courage and strength and that God is with you everywhere,” stated Swoll.
