If it was around the time I suspect, he might've been worried about the me too stories that were breaking. Which means he thought his own conduct could've been seen as questionable. Which means it was very questionable. So bullet dodged. Hooray for not being one of his sexual assault victims.

Aren’t NDAs unenforceable against illegal conduct anyway? I suppose he could have been covering for gross behavior that wasn’t across the line into full criminality. Either way, what a fuckin dork, I hope his channel sucks.

Yes, absolutely. You can't sue someone for violating an NDA if they did so to report a crime.

But a lot of people are morons that don't understand how the law works.

Such clauses/contracts often are just an empty threat. If enough people believe in its legality, they will act accordingly, so it accomplished its goal.

Basically any organised crime is full of NDAs so by this point, definitely unenforceable.
