Stay asleep if you wish, social media is good for that. Nothing wrong with his videos, I like them but they are a created character, scripted and acted. He used his interest in trains from when he was young to create a social media character which is great. Good luck to him. Still, its scary that people are so susceptible to being socially engineered to believe what they see on social media as genuine, pure, real , wholesome etc without questioning anything. Almost everything on social media is a creation and people blindly accept it.
