My guess is neither of those. People don’t really base their world view on facts. Maybe his life situation improved, he found a healthier community or a hobby
It sure as hell wasn’t strangers with evidence-based arguments that did it. I’ve seen plenty of cultists on reddit before I left. They are like brick walls and each fact is a rubber ball.
I wonder which kind of arguments made him change his mind; the evidence based ones or the ones calling him an idiot.

Probably personal connection paired with facts and persistence.
It’s not easy changing someone’s mind. You need a lot of dedication, especially if they’re in a community that reinforces their belief.
IIRC another YouTuber did a response video to his, disproving everything he said. And it opened his eyes.
