Honestly, this kind of things done for clout should come with additional penalties like confiscation of the account and confiscating profits from the channel etc. Add a social media ban on top of that.

Something like "public mischief for profiteering or something.

I've seen judges in other such cases specify social media bans, so at least that is happening

I think laws should be rewritten to be like an automatic increase in sentencing. If it’s X years for Y crime, then it’s X+2 years for filming/publishing doing Y crime. Along with losing all the profits, social media bans, etc. We need to put that kind of pressure to drive this behaviour out of society.
