From what I hear he's really not so objectionable and people enjoy his videos. I am yet to ever watch one though and that's purely out of spite. Somehow YouTube seemed to try so hard to push this dude in particular that I decided to specifically not watch anything he was in, this meant avoiding his stuff and also anything from anyone else I actually like if I could tell from the thumbnail or description he was going to be in it. I just about managed it because I've never seen anything with him directly, but I have ended up seeing parodies of his videos so I now in spite of myself know what must usually be in them, and I've seen the famous video critiquing all the spin off food businesses he's started up off the back of his famous name.
He's probably really not that bad, even if his obscene wealth is objectionable, but my contrarian nature just can't abide all the hype and cheerleading. Hopefully when he finally stops being popular, I'll have managed to miss everything he's in and maintain my pointless personal record of dodging the beastly bullets.
I don't know the details but there's a bunch of allegations coming out against him now. He's been objectionable for a while IMO, but it seems to only just now be coming out.
Hah figures. Oh well good thing I never watched anything he made so I don't even need to be disappointed
