"A dark place" is a mysterious plane of existence only accessed by youtubers filming apology videos. Common symptoms of being in a "dark place" include
grooming minors, getting into drama for clout, playing the victim and overall scumfuckery.
A person in a dark place might say the following:
"I didn't want to make this video"
"
I'm sorry you feel that way"
"Hold up lemme get my pet in frame for
pity points"
"When I was ten my goldfish died It's okay for me to kill people"
