Beyond his interest in FOSS and privacy, he's also just mellowed out a ton, the dude is in his mid (late?) thirties and you can tell.

    His Japan & family vlogs are also really chill - he has become much more chill and proper. If you remember him from when he got big on YouTube 10 - 15 years ago, he was a completely different person!

    I don't really remember why everyone hated him (Besides being annoying and once using a slur, for which he probably was lacking complete cultural understanding), but he was pretty young when he popped off. Not everyone changes as they age, but many people do. It's very reasonable to say he is a different person now.

    I feel it's reasonable to recognize the wealth he has collected, and to conclude he is not my ally.

    I don't fucking care who it is, wealth hoarding causes immeasurable harm, not to mention requires a sociopathic mindset. So...yeah, I'm not even giving him a chance. I got better shit to waste my time on...

    Weird take. But hey: It's a free world and you choose your own battles.

    I- I guess?

    I got better shit to waste my time on...

    Now that's a mindset I can get behind!

    Eh, no two ways about it. Wealth hoarding is exactly the same choice as "push the button, get a million, but someone dies". Same fucking thing. Literally
