I haven't heard anything controversial about him, and I feel like I would have. Obviously I could have missed something though.

He got called out a few years ago for releasing biased corporate ads disguised as educational content, essentially milking his reputation and audience for a payout

Do you have a source? I watch the channel quite a bit and haven't heard about the controversy at all.
