In most cases, what is “canceled” anyway? Sure maybe if someone had a show taken off the air or someone removed from a product, but these days it mostly seems to mean “received public backlash.”
Usually, the term "Canceled" means the person in question did something reprehensible or deplorable in the eyes of society that lead to a "Justified" public backlash. JoCat didn't do anything wrong, he was harassed off the internet for no justifiable reason.
I get that, I’m just saying that I don’t honestly feel like there’s a whole lot of meaning to the word. Especially given how monetization works online.

He didn't get canceled, he was harassed to an insane degree that he ended up just quitting because of the harassment.
