While his formal affiliation may have been short-lived, do you think he got a cut of the sale to Shopify?

If so, not disclosing that when he promotes Remix is a bit shady.

Nice dude and all, but that is one thing I take issue with still.

I don't think it's weird to like a piece of software and have that lead you to work at the company that builds the software and also to develop an educational course about that software.

[cmgriffing]

Not weird to do all that. Just weird to not disclose it.

There are only a few popular, promoted alternatives to NextJS right now (that I know of): Remix and TanStack. That is, if you're fully React focused, ofc. I dont see promoting Remix as a red flag.

Promoting it? No problem. But promoting something you profited from without disclosing it violates FCC rules for broadcasting. I would say influencers aren't technically broadcasting but they are in principle.
