Is there a reason people hate him? I don't watch his videos and I've only caught clips here and there, but isn't he mostly known for giving away money and helping people out? It's entertainment exploitation, for sure, but I'm sure the people he's helped out don't care much. I'd rather someone making money off of giving away money than someone making money and being an asshole to everyone.

Genuine question, I don't have any investment in defending him.

I've posted about him before. To me, he's always given off very disingenuous vibes. The smile is fake, and when he is not actively talking in his video, he just looks dead inside. Someone posted a story about him in college obsessing about how to game the YouTube algorithm. His only purpose was to get the most views, it didnt matter the content. To me, he is 100% the reason behind the click baity headlines and thumbnails that infect YouTube to this day.
