My kids watch it. I know some people have mixed feelings about him, but honestly, I don't really see the problem. There's far worse crap on TV, and every now and then, he's really helping people who need it, so I'm fine with it.

Same. I'm very cynical and suspicious about most of the YTers, he seems like he's a decent dude just trying to run a business making entertaining videos. His LinkedIn posts are interesting, he seems like he's enjoying hacking the YT algorithms to make the most money.

He steps into 'problematic' occasionally with the 'make people do things for money' but generally it's all pretty inoffensive fun.

But then so did Netflix so who knows.

So did absolutely everybody. Or maybe they initially did get the point, but then decided: but hey! games are fun!
