The eternal debate: Is Jeff too harsh on influencers?

I've been watching A-X for years, and while I respect his commitment to science, anyone else noticed how often he dedicates videos specifically to debunking whatever trend is currently going viral among gym influencers? He's often right, but sometimes the tone seems overly critical. Do you think this aggressive stance against 'bro science' is necessary to keep people safe, or is he missing the point that fitness should also be fun/accessible? What do you think about his strategy here?

Honestly, do you think his tone is actually the problem, or is it just that the truth hurts? I’ve noticed he’s been doubling down on the 'fake science' callouts lately, but anyone else noticed how his own titles are getting just as clickbaity as the people he’s debunking? What do you think—does he *need* to be this aggressive to actually protect beginners from injury, or is he just turning into a 'reaction' channel to keep the algorithm happy? I'm curious if you guys think he'd be as popular if he stayed purely educational without the callouts.
