This dude was interviewed on British TV a while back. It was amazing how open about the whole thing he was.

He wanted to raise awareness because if he had sought medical help when he was young, the likelihood of medical intervention being successful is greatly increased.
He wants other people to go get help if they need it.

Influencers gonna influence. My man found his niche and he's cashing in on it.

Well at least his influence is probably gonna help some people mentally and physically without dispersing any toxicity. So if some influencers are gonna cash, happy for it to be him rather than toxic fucks like Tate fuck for brains or the creepy smile mr beast

Idk. If he's just going to be the Colmes to Tate's Hannity...

Any time I see a UK or US publisher run its "Look at these weirdos" segment, its typically as a prelude to do something incredibly gross. Like the time Tucker Carlson tried to convince a bunch of young men to take testosterone and sun their assholes.
