        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.

          Also massive safety issues and borderline human rights abuses at his weird squid game event which he had direct knowledge off and did nothing about.
