Besides all those very valid points, his explanations themselves are not very good.
Lots of 'do this for your render to look better' without going into even a basic explanation of what it actually does.
I used to teach Blender at a local college, and I always had to pay close attention to students who saw his content because they would think they know far more than they actually did, and then panic when they realize they're behind the rest of the class.

Don't forget that he's an NFT bro who sold NFTs of his donuts to people! Oh, and he's more than a gen-AI apologist: he literally did a panel at BCON about why you should use generative-AI in Blender, only to make himself look like an idiot because the generated sh!t looked worse than the human-made stuff.

I saw the video of his talk. Cringe to say the least
they must have really wanted him on the AI bus because poliigon is all hand-crafted assets, I honestly wish he just told whoever asked him to prop it up to take a hike. That would have looked good for poliigon, I think anyway
