Don't trust anything Thunderf00t makes. He's an anti-feminist and anti LGBT+ bigot. Don't give that vile shitbag any attention.
While that's true, his science stuff is still okay and pretty easy to follow along with (meaning, easy to fact check). You can consume someone's scientific content without liking their political beliefs at all, because this field of science, physics, is objective.
If you stay on an Invidious instance like the link I've posted, you also get no ads, so you don't give him ad revenue if you just really hate his guts.
He denounced his "antifeminism" a few years ago. He even made videos condemning people like Sargon of Akkad as frauds.
Sure, he's a liberal, but his channel was always about exposing fraud masquerading as science. And in that regard he has produced some really valuable content.
Watch his "antifeminism" videos and it's quite obvious he mainly had issues with people using feminism and LGBTQ+ causes for personal gain, money and as a tool for attacking political opponents and groups, i.e. Liberal identity politics.
