The quantity of hecklers we see actually makes complete sense based on what he said in this 8-year old reddit thread.

Thanks for doing the legwork. That was a good read. It makes a lot of sense now that I see real numbers. It even makes sense that he's pretty confrontational to establish that he won't put up with it. Real teacher energy there lol, and I think I've heard him say that he was a teacher earlier in his life.

I'm glad I didn't just outright believe that claim about plants. I was trying to be open minded if there were any credible bits of evidence to prove otherwise, but I really didn't have any reason to believe he used plants until I saw that accusation. How fucking silly to say such a thing with absolutely nothing to back it up and keep saying "look it up." Well you looked it up and found a reasonable explanation from the man himself lol. Thanks :)
