Delightful madness! I stumbled across his tall bikes as well (under the guise of COVID and social distancing).

I guess he's at the point where he has enough followers YouTube pay him for content? (Enabling even more unhinged plans) - is that still a thing?

I can't suggest it because I don't YouTube. So I got no account and I only watch from links using new pipe or other viewers depending on OS.
