At his best he’s an artistic, deep, creative force with a great eye for storytelling and a real passion for collecting. Some of his longform travel / documentary style vids are absolutely stupendous (sienna, dambusters, interstellar etc) 

That said he’s an opinionated and wounded guy too, who can’t help but get into drama (there was a kick off with Nico a few months back) and he leaks a lot of hurt through his channel and livestreams.

Spot on. His travelogue work is soooo beautiful and reflective and insightful. Capable of bringing a tear, or causing the need to pause for reflection. On the flipside of the tender and artful sensibility is the lashing-out of a vulnerable person proactively trying to avoid being hurt again. I think "he's a bully" is an oversimplification, though it may have that effect.

FWIW, I enjoy both of their channels for who they are as presenters, good/bad/otherwise.

p.s. Hello, all. New here. Look forward to engaging with y'all.
