Is there a reason people hate him? I don't watch his videos and I've only caught clips here and there, but isn't he mostly known for giving away money and helping people out? It's entertainment exploitation, for sure, but I'm sure the people he's helped out don't care much. I'd rather someone making money off of giving away money than someone making money and being an asshole to everyone.

Genuine question, I don't have any investment in defending him.

Mostly the whole exploitation part, which often goes too far and can be very humiliating or outright dangerous for participants. Some scrapped videos supposedly amounted to torture. Then there's the rigged giveaways and the fact that the dude just unnerves a lot of people because he, as this post demonstrates, doesn't smile with his eyes.

There were also allegations that one of his colleagues was a sex offender but as far as I know everyone including the purported victim ended up denying it, so I don't know how much people care about that still.
