The great thing about this guy is that he owns his own business, so YouTube revenue means jack shit to him. They can demonetize, and he wouldn't care. Personally, I think he pushes buttons to test the limits. LOL

Plus, he's on other platforms that aren't evil (like Odysee).

Sadly, I agree. Open platforms attract wackos, but the platform itself isn't evil.
