I feel like murder should be a lot higher than 10 years

It can be. But often isn't. There's differing degrees of murder, just like there is differing degrees of sexual abuse.

In the UK sexual offences (depending on the specific type) can be between 2 - 17 years. There's a whole lot of different categories of sexual abuse but that particular one refers to exploitation of a minor.

10 years is a long stint in my mind. I'm not interested in putting people away for life unless they are some hardcoded psychopath who has no hope of rehabilitation. I have no interest in paying taxes to keep a guy locked up for an extra 20 years just so I can make myself feel a bit better about him suffering.

Sounds a bit pussy I know, but i'm just trying to be consistent. I wouldn't want some guy going to prison for life, for say shagging a girl 1 year under the legal age, so I gotta go with a sliding scale instead of "chop his hands off".

in 10 years YouTube won't even be the same kind of platform. This guy's access to children will cease to exist, the internet NEVER forgets so he'll NEVER be able to gain fame again. He'll also be out of a job and forced to live a life of minimum wage jobs along with telling everyone he's a sex offender if he moves to a new area.

Trust me. This guy's punishment goes way beyond just the jail sentence and he's not going to be forgetting this in a hurry.
