At least one of, but usually multiple of these:

-Youtuber starts the video with a big sigh
-Their cute pet or child shows up in the video at some point
-Title of the video is in all lowercase and/or has a period at the end ("i'm sorry" or "apology.")
-Says something along the lines of "nobody's perfect" or "we're all human, we make mistakes"
-They start (fake) crying or have long pauses where they're visibly holding back (fake) tears
-Sad piano music
-Camera very slowly zooms into their face
-Says something along the lines of "I've grown from this experience"
-Shifts blame or just sidesteps the issue
-Grabs camera and one point and starts manually filming themselves
-Like / Comments disabled
-Has ads or a sponsor in it lol

People seriously don't fall for this shit, right? >_>

The whole point it's trying to make it sound "personal" so you can eventually forgive them. The issue I have with many apologies is that they rarely do any actual apologies.

This video is apology at the highest peak:

That was one of the cringiest things I've seen. Did she delete it because everyone (rightfully) dunked on her for that? >_>

Imagine saying taking a month off social media was one of the most difficult times of your life.

Yeah, basically everyone dunked on her because she made a high quality studio video of her dancing rather than actually making an apology that she sexual harassed her ex boyfriend. I don't think she deleted it, but private the video.

XD. I seen this in a video about apologies. Im interested in the psychological end pf it. I usually don't even care about what the person did. Soneone had to try it lol. You knew at some point someone would try this "artsy" style of apology. Id love to hear from someone it worked on.

I didn't watch if Cryaotic did one of these or not, because there's no apology good enough for what he did, but I assume it had a few of these traits.

...fucker still has over 2 million subscribers. Not a lot compared to YouTubers who aren't trash, but still way too many.

A gaming YouTuber that I used to really like because I found his playthroughs hilarious and chill in equal measure.

He was accused of and later admitted to sexual harassment and grooming of at least 18 different women, some of whom were minors.
