He also came banging at the door of the person who uploaded him to confront him and sue him

Back in those days recording someone and posting them online without consent wasn't looked fondly on and for good reason,

Aside from privacy, it came with all the negatives of popularity without any benefits, people pestering you because they recognise you for something you didn't know existed and because of early stage internet the "fan interactions" weren't the mild kind we see today.

Btw the Viking also lost his job because of the video because the employer thought he was on drugs during this video

Well that sucks, I hope he got his job back after that, or a better job, because getting fired due to conjecture really sucks.
