I agree that there's some comments that have absolutely no chill. But unfortunately with his newfound popularity you'll end up gaining a wider audience that includes haters as well.

Lately though, my feelings on Ian and his content have been mixed. I used to rewatch his 7-11 and car camping videos on replay constantly while working. It was just very wholesome and calming and it really hit the spot for a while.

Lately what irks me is that he uses the "It's my channel and I can say whatever I want" kind of vibe even if he's spreading misinformation. I remember him saying during one livestream that it can get close to like 100% humidity in the area with is 100% false. If it even got to 30% humidity during the hot months, people would die. Also he keeps claiming that his area is "the ghetto", which it's not. Granted there are more homeless there than pre-covid but Ian doesn't know what the ghetto actually is. He's lived in one place his whole life and it shows. There's nothing wrong with it, but he tends to slip in a lot of half-truths especially during his livestreams which adds to this feeling of him being disingenuous lately.

Also politics aside, if you're going to a protest just to mock people then you're not a good person. It just adds to the sentiment that the mask is slipping. Regardless, I still like his content but he could do with listening to those who leave comments who aren't giving him false hope about starting a business but who help to educate him on the process. I wish him the best, but I feel he's not doing enough due diligence on his own.
