      He was the guy riding the cresting wave of YouTube enshittification. A lot of the more obnoxious marketing gimmicks - Soy Face, most notable - were pioneered by his team.

      Idk if you can blame him explicitly for a generation of slop. But he’s the physical embodiment of doing literally anything for attention. His mannerisms and soulless self-promotion have become the curse of the GenZ demographic.

          Oh yeah there’s a bunch :3… didn’t he also get accused of running illegal lotteries and rigging games?

          I can’t say I kept up with most of the drama well enough to verify many of the specific claims tho
