How is he a cult leader? I mean he shills for donations much like anyone with a patreon nowadays does, and the whole DEFOO thing is weird, but he's not forcing anyone to do that as far as I can tell.
I don't know, I've seen some good interviews and videos on his channels I don't see him starting a cult of personality. The man admits to being wrong sometimes and encourages listeners to call him on his mistakes.
I'm gonna want some proof here if you use the words "compulsive liar" and "cult leader".
I've heard people say that about him but I just don't see it.

It's the defooing thing I was referring to. Also, I was a little intoxicated.

It's an extreme stance, but personally I can stomach it because if you watch the guy's the videos (at least for me, a on and off watcher since 2014) he doesn't really shill for the Defoo thing. I've never heard him say it in the time I've been watching.
And also I guess my worldview is even if someone has a extreme position on stuff like that, you don't have to follow everything they say. He's not forcing his listeners to dissociate with family members because they have incorrect worldviews.
