he lives on outrage and the money it generates

I don't think he makes much from YouTube, and he's said as much. He just uses it as a platform to push pro-Right to Repair sentiment, and he's right way more often than he's not (with a healthy dose of hyperbole most of the time). Any miss here is because he didn't bother doing a bunch of research, because he doesn't really have an incentive to do so.

He owns a repair business and works for FUTO, that's where his money comes from.
