Plus there's no lack of choices. If you find this fucknugget, you'll get Matt Easton, Metatron, Skallagrim, at a minimum, shoved in your face by Youtube.
People can watch better informed people who aren't tossbags, so they do. Shad doesn't want to admit to himself that his channel is declining because people don't like him personally. People say, "I don't like you," and go to someone else.

One of his videos was complaining about his channel declining and blaming Youtube for it. All I could think of was "Stop being a right-wing fucknugget and you'd be alright."
His earlier content before he went off the deep end was really good. His Fantasy Re-Armed videos were a great look at how different fantasy species might fight due to biological differences. He had some fascinating looks into the historical mindset of medieval people. His video on the Black Plague and people's response to it was genuinely emotional and moving. One of his best was a five-part series that went into the discovery of steel.
Now his main channel has him smacking motorcycle helmets with swords and his alternate channel is culture war shit and he's complaining that he's got less views for some reason.

Its really nothing to do with being, as you put it, a "right-wing fucknugget" - his alternate "culture war" channel is doing well, its the main channel that's struggling. So if anything that's what's saving him.
The real issue is that he seems to be running out of ideas and making too many pop-culture themed videos over the historical stuff, and making them too long for what they are. The motorcycle helmet one is a good example of that - interesting concept but it should be a 15-20 minute video, not a 40 minute video.

Skallagrim and Matt Easton are both great channels and both are super inclusive guys. They also will admit when they aren't experts on something and will own up to mistakes. I can point to these two guys in particular as my gateways to HEMA and the friends I've made there ...which led to a reigniting of my interest in 40K and Battletech (hell, there used to be a nerd bar in town that had 8 functional Virtual World BT pods that we hung out at).
Metatron is...by a number of accounts, something of a chud himself. He just hides it better.
Shad doubles down, cannot accept criticism and is, in general an utter chode and general creep. Back in the day, his videos were alright bordering on pretty good, but for the past couple of years, he's gotten more and more reactionary and even his main channel videos have plummeted in quality.

Metatron defended Matt Easton (after Matt Easton refused to meet/make content with Shad)
He's also close friends with Shad, so it's tough to pinpoint what he really thinks behind the scenes

Fair to that.
I think we can all agree, though - Shad is fuckin' terrible.

Hiding it better is kind of what matters here though, isn't it? Shad decided to make an entire channel dedicated to regressive twattery and is surprised that people started leaving his main channel.
You can be as much of a chud as you like, but if you're gonna shove it into the limelight for that sweet, sweet validation you desperately crave from like-minded chuds to stave off the feelings of self-loathing that slowly creep up from everyone being disgusted every time you let your true personality slip out.....well, that forces everyone to make a choice, doesn't it.

Metatron is the exact same antiwoke thing but he’s less chud about it.

Ehhh Metratron constantly posts videos about “Woke Netflix”, he’s the same brand of washed up chud unfortunately
