If the guy isn't a comedian, and these were his genuine views, then wow. That's some sick stuff.
I watched about 4-5 videos. I wouldn't say they're particularly any more "correct" than the next person's views. There wasn't anything that I found especially convincing or based on any real evidence.
There's a big difference between being unpopular, and encouraging a very toxic mindset. He speaks about how educated women don't "need" men (fair point), but that this makes them not valuable because that means men can't "use" them. "Use" being an interesting term for what he's trying to explain, but I genuinely don't believe that's how relationships work. I think he needed to spend some time actually studying psychology and look at these topics from more than one perspective. He sold a narrative as if it's the ONLY way to understand a topic or issue, without the proper research behind it.
You only need to read his chat's comments for a few moments to see the impact of what he had to say. Everyone deserves a voice, but it's important to realise your voice still has consequences. People aren't media smart enough to recognise there's difference in opinion and fact. So there were several people spouting stuff about "bitches need to get used" etc. Of course, he himself did not say that phrase, but it is a consequence of what he did say. This is why I think it's sick.
I can see why women feel a certain way about him. Reading that chat was the first time I felt truly threatened as a female in my life. Thank goodness that it was only on the internet.
