Why it worked
The video likely gained traction by tapping into a controversial and highly discussed geopolitical issue, framing it through the lens of a popular celebrity and a widely consumed media product. The direct challenge to Noah Schnapp and the call for a boycott resonated with viewers who share similar sentiments.
Summary
The creator questions Noah Schnapp's stance on the conflict in Gaza, criticizing his perceived "both sides" approach and the promotion of "Stranger Things" during the ongoing violence. They announce they will not be watching the show or subscribing to Netflix in protest.

Noah Schnapp Apology video
I think anyone with any ounce of humanity
would hope for an end to the hostility on both sides
so here we are
in the time since that video was posted
Gaza has been made unlivable
and there's no doubt
that at least hundreds of
thousands of Palestinians have been murdered
and we're all watching
Netflix
begin to promote the release
of the last season of Stranger
Things
with Noah Schnapp starring
in it
and I only have two
questions for Noah
are you still both sides-ing a
genocide?
are you still equating the
violent resistance of the
oppressed
with the violent systems of
the oppressors?
I won't be watching Stranger
Things
and I won't be paying Netflix
for a subscription
I think everyone watching
this should join me
free Palestine
