I know this is going to sound like some clickbait bullshit title, but I’m genuinely curious, asking in good faith. My two oldest sons are enamored with him, and he seems like a genuine guy, so I’m asking - is he a nice guy? If you google the question, you get a bunch of reddit hate, which I don’t always trust, because…it’s reddit. I have not watched much content (not my thing, I’m old) but I’m just curious what the fediverse has to say.

    I think most “reddit style” hate for him (ie denigrating his “clout chasing”) is worthless, but there is valid criticism to be had about his content. Not because he himself is evil or anything, but he is definitely a force of aggressive “centrism” that maintains an arguably unethical status quo. He feeds the hungry without asking why they are hungry, and ultra online types see this as a negative influence on society due to his popularity
