To be fair, just because he's on Youtube doesn't mean he's a bad guy. It's not necessarily a good strategy to pull out of Youtube altogether, anyway.
Youtube is mainstream. More people use it regularly than Rumble or Bitchute. By that, I mean, more people who are deep into the indoctrination, and for people like them, while Youtube might have its own issues, it doesn't have nearly as controversial a reputation as alternatives do.
The issue is that the indoctrinated don't need a full on hard press attempt to break their worldview. That's just counterproductive, and it will make them dig their heels in that much harder. They need a softer approach, one that sparks questions or that introduces concepts in a non-politically charged way. The Why Files is a good medium for this, I think.
It explores topics, from the mundane to the secretive to the conspiratorial, in a way that presents all sides. Yes, it provides an argument against many topics that would be good to reaffirm, but if using the WF to introduce a concept that would be hard to digest, then this can be a good approach. The topic is covered in detail in a non-threatening way, and it prompts the viewer to actually think about it.
Aside from that, he's openly distrustful of the government, he regularly encourages hearing both sides out rather than just sticking to the one or to what you think to be the truth, and he encourages actual open mindedness.
I wouldn't say that he's bought out, like Kurzgetagt is, just that he's questioning. He's thorough, and he does his research.
I enjoy his shows. I find him interesting. But remember, he is still on youtube, why? He may not be as real as he appears.
