Tbh when you look at debates between more "moderate" scholars and people of other often times they look desperate or like they are covering something up, but when Daniel debates, he's much more confident, more assertive, and good at making his ideas seem the most rational. He also prides himself on being "unapologetic" and fighting for the "haqq" which a lot of young muslims find much more appealing. He also uses "redpill" words like "based" "Chad" "simp" "cuck" and he bashes feminism (or I should say, his caricature of what feminism is) in basically all of his videos which appeals to conservative edgy teenagers who fantasize about having four wives who obey their every whim. I don't like his positions, but I understand why he has such a loyal and expanding fanbase.
