Cancel Culture is losing its meaning

Youtube has recently given James Charles an original youtube show that supposes to help small influencers grow.

The show started with six contestants, eliminating one artist each episode. Each episode was supposed to test the makeup artist artistry.

Every episode has a compact challenge, which is a mini-challenge before the elimination round, it is supposed to help the player who won the challenge have an advantage for the next round.
In the most recent episode, James made the contestants film themselves making an apology video with fake scenarios where they are under fire for a made-up sandal.

When the video was posted, people didn't respond to it well as it was supposed to teach contestants how to fake an apology video.  

James responded to the backlash by saying that a lot of the scandal he's gotten into have been situations blown out of portion. Which I understand, but the challenge degrades the whole purpose of an apology video.

Canceling him for making this challenge also degrades the value of cancel culture.
