Mixed reactions to the Barosky GoFundMe

While many appreciated Delay's gesture, a section of social media users pushed back against the campaign, arguing that Barosky had squandered earlier opportunities.

The comments section became a battleground of competing views.

"Someone got the chance and fame to be rich. He was given the platform to do well in music which many underground artists couldn't get. Instead Barosky decided to live a wayward life which has resulted in his current state and you are doing GoFundMe for him? Other people deserve it"
