Italian YouTuber Davie504 refused to delete a year-old comment stating "Taiwan is a country," leading to a sponsor withdrawing a $75,000 deal. The sponsor demanded the removal of the comment and a retraction to calling Taiwan "a region" to proceed with the collaboration. Davie504 chose to uphold his stance and forfeit the sponsorship. Taiwanese influencer Hu Cai-ping supported Davie504's decision with a donation, criticizing Taiwanese celebrities who she claims are overly accommodating to China.
