There's always that element too, but he seems to be in a post growth stage in his YouTube presence. He hasn't been as aggressive about growing...However, old habits are hard to banish, which means there is a chance this could be a calculated move designed to farm his audience and others for engagement in the algorithm. It could simply be born out of his own satisfaction with the Linux distro he's currently using. Since he didn't go into great detail, his motivation is up in the air. It seems to come from a genuine place, but that doesn't mean the comment does originate from a genuine place. I suppose that I merely hope it stems from his honest opinion, only time will tell.

I do too, I hope he can make a lot of people curious, not just children! Yeah, it helps others challenge their own assumptions and trying something new when a public figure tries (fails a bit on the way, but ultimately succeeds). Doing something new will mean you stumble a bit here and there, the fact he didn't hesitate looking things up during the process is a good reminder to constantly ask questions and find answers.

Role Models aren't chosen, they just end up resonating with people and helping shape positive changes within others...He has a lot of people who resonate with him and are inspired by him. The fact that he considered his ideas before going deep into the racist pipeline and turned it around makes him a good role model in my opinion. He took a break from YouTube, reflected on his choices, and came back after making a decision to shows others there is a better way to handle controversy. He didn't double down, sink deeper into the cesspool of racist ideology, he resurfaced as a better person instead. That says a lot about his character, it makes him a positive influence. All people stumble along the road of life, but that doesn't mean you have to fall to a level that some exist on; you can become an elevated person instead.

He was never a nazi in the first place. His basically a classic trait of toxic gamer, making a racist remarks towards everyone.

Back when he did Hitler joke stuff, he instantly got backlash from his own community. He recognized the mistake and stopped doing it again.

I can assure you, these people are often doing it for banter or just for edginess. Never actually hates people.

I'm from SEA region, and people in SEA online gaming community did this all the time. Mocking each other ethnic groups or nationalities, while not actually hating each other, except for small minorities of course. Making Hitler joke, N-word, and other local edgy jokes.

Not saying this is a good thing.

Again, even his fans constantly asking him to do better all the time. And he's now a better person.

I recommend to check his video about 100 days art journey: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJDtQTTAogk It's one of high-regarding art journey video that even contantly get shared and reacted among art community.
