I could see this being a problem for somebody who posts how-to videos and he/she receives a question in the comments, because that question could be buried. As for Francis, I don't quite get it. Of course comments about why he should kill himself are terrible and it sucks they get promoted so easily, but I don't see how this is bad enough to quit doing what he's doing (especially if it's a revenue stream).
He's pretty sensitive about his weight, and says that the supportive comments on his channel have helped him change his life around, and encouraged him to live a healthier life. It takes hard work to build a Youtube channel and get to the point where you're making money, so I doubt he'd throw that all away, but I can see why he's upset that the community on his channel is being disrupted by trolls and spammers.
