Top comment on that video was "happy to see your okay", and the person who replied to your comment here shared a similar sentiment. Is there reason for this guy's viewers to worry he might not be okay, or is it just a case of someone not posting for a long time between videos?

Edit: in the first three minutes of that linked video, he says "it's actually kinda funny that I'm even allowed to own this". I think I get why people worry now

Edit 2: I also just saw that his previous video outlines illness stuff. I haven't watched that video, but the top comment was roughly "a scan costing twice as much if you have insurance is criminal", so I think I get the gist on the shape of illness stress he's been facing

Yes, poor guy, something like -

YouTuber Drake reveals a complicated and ongoing health situation, starting with unexpectedly high testosterone levels, leading to numerous tests, insurance company disputes, a potential liver disease diagnosis after years of abnormal blood markers, and a temporary redirection of his focus from creating his typical YouTube videos to pursuing personal passions like storm chasing, while assuring fans of his eventual return.

Having watched Styropyro for years, learning that this man simply has too much testosterone was the least surprising illness reveal ever

I understand it sucks to have any illness, but it's better than like, lymphoma

Sorry Hank

I take it you’ve not seen any of his videos? He plays around with incredibly powerful lasers and electronics etc
