It was extra sad watching the transition from when he was a perennial HN poster known only to a niche within a niche to 4chan discovering him and turning him into a meme because they loved his racist rants and started “jokingly” feeding his delusions in comments to his YouTube vlogs.

Whenever I see praise for 4chan on HN as a last remnant of the “good” internet I think of that (and the girl I went to HS with who they cyber stalked while a minor almost to the point of suicide even after she deleted her entire online presence).
