MODERATORS
It's interesting to look back at his AMA on reddit in 2015. Every response was so to the point and on topic, even friendly. Clearly something changed since then.
I like John Oliver's take that he really didn't like the orders to shut down factories during pandemic and got a lot of support from 'mah freedom' nutjobs over this causing not-so-slow fall into the extreme right rabbit hole. It actually makes a lot of sense. He clearly craves attention and approval. He used to get it from the left because electric cars are green and SpaceX is cool technology but eventually the left began demanding more regulation and he started getting some criticism (which he doesn't like that much...). At the same time he noticed that the right is ready to accept him as the 'free speech savior' and love him unconditionally as long as he will help them 'own the libs' so he switched sides.
I think that Some More News’s take on it also gets to the point. He got vocally anti union and the left got vocally anti billionaire. Many CEOs seem to take pro union sentiment personally and he seems to be particularly sensitive.
Their videos are great! They are as informative as they are depressing. Man, the truth really does hurt sometimes!

Fun facts, the Cody Showdy (Some More News) is from the Cracked.com days. They have since obviously persisted on YT. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cracked.com#Video_content
