I agree in that it was a dumb business decision on his part to critique BLM. Awhile back he was let go from Facebook and unleashed some blistering reviews of Facebook via some videos. He did not get any blow back from that and I guess he figured that if he can take on Facebook he can take on BLM. He learned otherwise.
How probable is it that he merely said he lost sponsors, when he actually didn't (or not to a great degree), to get folks to leave him alone?
Every video I have seen him do accept for the one about the Chinese guy committing suicide at Facebook mentions that the video is brought to you by so and so sponsor. His Doxxing video has no mention of any sponsors. I suspect he will get his sponsors back once things settle down.
there's a lot of money to grift on confirmation bias outrage clicks. Could just be complaining about a boycott that never really happened. You just get to sell the idea that it happened to your mark.
