The irony of it being hosted on YouTube

He wants to reach as large an audience as possible, and being perfectly principled isn't the way to go. Self-hosted platforms are great if you want to preach to the choir.

He's involved with https://grayjay.app/ btw. Of all people to criticize for using YouTube as a platform, he's the last.

What's ironic about using a reliable, free platform to reach your 2.2 million subscribers with what would otherwise be a difficult and expensive to distribute video?

it doesn't seem like they care very much about owning videos, the irony would be more if they rented a tractor to drive up to your house and explain the issue.

He's primarily about "right to repair" physical things, not so much self-hosting videos. I think its an important message and he has really spent an enormous amount of time and resources on it and I don't know if he has gotten much benefit from it other than, arguably, publicity.
