He did recently mention that you can't do political ads on YouTube, but he was rather more perturbed at the idea of navigating through the legal and financial system of EU, owing to his own personal troubles with them.
He might have changed his mind based on new info, idk. But he clearly doesn't want to get involved anymore than he needs to because it's very taxing.
Did you find a linter for obsidian? I am looking for one as well.
