TLDR; His old videos were pretty good before he blew up
I haven't followed any controversies, and I used to enjoy watching the content. His channel was pretty cool and down to earth w/ actual educational animal facts, however the odd sting or bite video started blowing up, and all of a sudden it was fear factor, “watch man dick around with nature”. Then you can see the slow, but sudden shift in content being produced on the channel.
I just imagine lions covered in ants from tail to nose.
