It’s pretty mundane as far as internet controversy goes. The lotteries were run poorly and as such were probably illegal, not exactly uncommon on YouTube. The show largely targets kids, so there’s some accusations of it effectively being gambling for kids. After that people dug into his whole life and found out one of his employees was convicted of statutory rape and he was aware, which is a bad look for a channel mostly watched by children. It’s like a 3/10 on internet controversy scales. Doing something common and dumb but not obviously malicious, and then just stuff that looks bad without concrete evidence anything bad actually happened. It’s not terribly interesting, I only saw because of a comedian making fun of it.
