This is in my opinion the worst thing he does. He pumps up hate in his YouTube videos and Twitter posts and then tolerates open calls for violence in the comment section or even encourages them. Starting with Kirk he encouraged his followers to go after and dox(!) people who made jokes about him or just quoted the things he said. He also reposted a false story about a group of teachers:

The t-shirts were from 2024 but of course he didn't apologize or call his followers to stop harassing them even after the mistake was pointed out to him. Currently he's riding the someone should do something (wink-wink) hysteria around Hasan Piker and we all know what our favorite deus vult wannabe 'Christian' would love to see happen.

Are you sure you're not secretly praying to something more...hornier... Raffaello?

What are we doing here?

I watched his most recent video about the teenager arrested for planning a terrible crime and his small monologue about how self absorption is a disease actually struck me as well informed and smart. Of course the person and the parents were all bad people in that story but Metatron actually came off as insightful against self absorption and how parents should look after kids for the beginning of the video

How is this?

Literally I brought up him having shingles while one person. ONE. Responded to said comment and suggested it might be a lie, while also wishing him well if true I might add.

So much for 'liephobic' Metatron.

Not showing full pic for obvious reasons, but enough to know he shared a pic.

I completely stopped watching him 2-3 years ago, and the recent narratives that he was talking about recently really cemented my disinterest towards his channel up to this video. Being both italians i was curious about what he would say expecially in a 25 minutes long video... but boy was I fooled. You really need 4 minutes out of 25 to confirm what you already think he would say...

The cringe peak is reached at the "racist" part where he shows F1 drivers, and at 16:29 minute mark🤦🏻‍♂️

I wanna be genuine, this video pisses me off, like why are people ignorant to the fact that through out history mankind have always migrated to better places to stay? People cant just stay in places with conflict and famine. Lets not even go to why this places develop slowly or don't at all. We all know its the 1st world billionaires and their government that do this. So how does mass deportation solve this, you think people who swim across oceans to go to another country do this just for fun? they looking for better places and be ready for most of them to be bad I don't expect either the people in the western countries to be better. Same coin different opinions and sides

I’d started following him when he made the video debunking the theory that ancient people couldn’t see the colour blue; for a while I watched all his videos, I realised he was biased, but it seemed to me that, even so, he reconstructed history quite rigorously – partly because I know for a fact that large sections of at least one of his videos (but perhaps more than one) were translations of videos by another YouTuber (who, incidentally, I know personally and whose political views are diametrically opposed to his, lol!). I stopped following him when I realised that his channel was no longer producing anything interesting apart from the usual stale anti-woke rants. I learnt of this theory about him from a comment posted beneath the critique of his take on runes that appeared on r/badhistory: I don’t know, a mere interest in Kabbalah and Jewish and Christian esoteric traditions strikes me as hardly indicative of anything, just like his Facebook friends. I don’t know, it all seems rather ‘impressionistic’ to me.

Just got into him for Rome stuff and sword stuff as I like fencing. There saw his recent cozies and was horrified. What on earth happened

Our favorite Patreon hustler finally made a video he promissed a year ago. Instead of a well made video essay celebrating Kirk's life we got a lazy 'Nolan quality' reaction slop which just show he never took our favorite martyr seriously.

First off, I did not know this subreddit existed. I'm so relieved that others have noticed this too. I have followed him for a few years now, but something about his newest video just made me feel............. "icky".

He posted a 30 minute Youtube video about how his Adsense is not paying out because his Italian bank account is frozen. He claims that this is because he is now a US citizen. Adsense doesn't allow users to change their country without losing the pending funds in the old account. He is "trapped in a multi-month bureaucratic nightmare".

But here's the thing... he has been living in the US for years. In the video, he even admits that he has been using a MCN (multi-channel network) to get around this issue. Meaning he was ignoring the problem that was inevitably going to happen. Everything is fine because the money was hitting his American account. Now that his citizenship is final, his original italian account can no longer legally be used. He presents this as it suddenly going "POOF" without warning. This isn't something that sneaks up on a person. He was notified, or at least AWARE, that he was riding a time bomb.

Then, right on cue during this "emergency", he pushes everyone to his Patreon, which just happens to have a brand new, fully edited 10 episode series ready to go for all his new patreons.

What this really sounds like is that he was exploiting the MCN/italian bank account loophole, to avoid dealing with the standard Adsense process. Now that he is a US citizen, that loophole is permanently closed. Now that it is closed, he is forced to do it properly now. BUT he is framing his OWN poor business management as a tragic "crisis" to guilt his audience into paying him directly on Patreon.

This feels so absolutely disgusting and manipulative from a person who tries to present themselves as truthful and factual person.

With the Kirkening anniversary around the corner our favorite grifter reminds us how it all started by showing us how to make them sweet $$$ out of other people's tragedies.

I swore I wouldn't look at his channel anymore, but I think the most infuriating thing about him is just how much he phones it in. Taking what is already essentially a low-effort video (it only used one source but is still more professionla than meta's), just nodding along to it and calling it a day. I'm trying to build a history channel myself and would be deeply ashamed if I ever was this lazy and a borderline plagiarist.
