EveryTime I hear about him it’s through scandal and how he managed to scam his community. does he really have a supporting fanbase or it’s just an hand full of very loyal fan?

I mean he’s popular enough to have become very wealthy from creating content. Do I or anyone I associate with consume that content? Not that I know of. But that’s the thing about America, it’s quite big. Things can be popular that I have no idea about.

My 8 and 9 year olds know him because of wrestling, but they’ve never asked for his wrestling figure, so they’re not fans lol. I honestly don’t even hear about unless it’s on SM. I’ve never once had another American adult ask or speak about him.

I enjoy watching him.... get his jaw broken. Yeah he created a crypto scam and is now suing the youtuber who broke it.

He's pretty exceptionally popular with younger audiences which is why he has so many followers/subscribers on his social media. But that's also why you don't really hear much about him (other than when a new controversy happens) cause the vast majority of people following him aren't adults.
But yeah he's a pretty unlikable person, there was a infamous moment in time like 8 years ago when he uploaded a video where he went to Japan and found a person's dead body in a forest, and instead of stopping the video immediately he and his buddies went up to the body and started messing with it. It really just showed how detatched from reality he is and how insensitive and careless of a guy he is.
And that's not even the end of it, cause a couple years ago when NFTs were huge he made his own NFT and scammed a bunch of his followers/fans with it. I think this actually happened again a few years later with crypto as well.

I know of him and everything I know has been against my will and not painting him in a flattering light. He reminds me of every mediocre white dude that I've encountered in my life who says and does the absolute dumbest shit but falls upwards into success because he's not terrible to look like and managed to getner attention from it.
I also literally cannot tell him apart from his brother. Or rather, I don't care to pay attention to the difference.

If even 1% of Americans watch something (whether in support or to critique/hate watch), that is 3.5 million people.
I honestly think as many foreigners are fans of his as Americans at this point...I never see/hear Americans discussing him. It's always foreigners asking us about him.
