I see your point entirely and I understand why you feel that way. Just want to give you my friendly opinion on Coffee. I wouldn't consider him a "shock" Youtuber, personally. He is an entertainer and a journalist, and pretty good at both IMO. He is definitely drumming up drama to a degree but I think this topic is especially worth the attention. I've watched the series this is a part of and can tell you that dude has done his homework. He included several interviews he did with different people that offers up a few pretty interesting perspectives. I recommend checking it out! At the end of the day, clickbait thumbnails and titles work well on YouTube and for some creators that otherwise might not drum it up it can be a matter of, "if you can't beat em, join em", but I definitely think the ends justify the means considering all of his work is what I and many others would call "fighting the good fight".
