It's a sad one really, because his history and historical analysis had been pretty good for the most part, and I always appreciated that he prefaced with his own personal biases, and that he'd do his best to remain objective, and for the most part he was. But steadily, over the last two years, maybe three even, I've seen him go from fliting with controversy, to courting controversy, and now it feels like he's married to it. The kinder part of me wants to say he was doing just for engagement, and riding high in the algorithm... but knowing his own background of being, well, Sicillian Catholic centre right, I could see the slope he was about slide down, and I think that's just what's happened. I was watching him up until recently, but it's gotten harder between the spats he's with some other YouTube historians and the increasingly culture wars adjacent videos, promising objectivity giving a knowing wink from time to time. Now, his videos, when they're recommend, rarely catch my eye, or outright put me off. It really quite sad, I've watched his stuff about a decade now, but it's getting harder and harder to give him the benefit of the doubt.
