    Can anyone point to the abuse that was happening? I've tried searching but the hits are (rightfully) focused on her passing. I've scrolled the comments of several of her videos going back years and not seeing any negativity.

    I'm just wondering what people could possibly have been saying to someone who rescues animals.

    No surprise there, online stardom is toxic.

    We saw that years ago when Totalbiscuit (famous gaming vlogger) spoke out about the constant abuse and harassment you experience from being a public figure with a comment field.

    I never met her, but I did get the opportunity to tour the rescue. Wonderful place, and wonderful people.

    I don't have much to add beyond that this is deeply heartbreaking.

    Oh! This is the lady with the famous laughing foxes:

    Now it's doubly sad. There's a person at the other end of the line, folks... remember that.

    One of the few Youtube channel that was just pure joy and goodness. If a person like her was suffering, I can't imagine to what kind of abuse the children are exposed through social media.

    The tragic thing is how HN continues to blame "user error" when people die from the monster they've created. See this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44267701
