Whatever he is, he's not just a youtube creator. He's perfectly adept at infiltrating literally every situation he finds. The places he goes, for funsies, are places no one in their right mind would go. To my understanding there is at least one subreddit that tracks the timing of his posts against political and diplomatic incidents in the countries he visits. I don't know, and honestly, I don't really care. He's just an anomaly of minor interest. But if he has not been trained by a nationstate, he has an uncommon gift for manipulating the human psyche to his advantage. In his most recent post, while in Russia, he was arrested and convicted of an unspecified crime, and was ordered to permanently leave the country.
