This man claims to have reproduced the same kind of effects with a simple ferromagnetic sample:

The picture on figure 4 of this paper rules out ferromagnetism, assuming it's legit https://arxiv.org/pdf/2308.01516.pdf
People seem skeptical that it's actually been ruled out by that test. Regardless, that paper found diamagnetism on the level of pyrolytic graphite, which would be interesting in this material albeit not really evidence of superconductivity, but from what I've heard it is very easy to get anomalous reports of diamagnetism during zero field cooling if there is a high-temperature ferromagnetic transition, and you have to be extremely careful about your measurements and do lots of repeated tests to be sure. AFAIK, every other paper has either only seen very weak diamagnetism (expected given the compounds involved) or none at all.
except he didnt reverse the poles of the magnet like multiple replication videos so he didnt really reproduce the same effect
Do you mean flipping the magnet over? If you scroll down he did that.
