Putting aside the savetf2 stuff, why is he bad? All I know is that he called damage scout a “subclass”, which I think invalidates anything he says

YES! That's the main problem I have with his uploads. It's the most evident on his "cheaters video".

I wanted a clip of that funny noise the bots were making with td_buyback so I watched his video, and in the entire 10 minute video explaining that he literally just said

"td_buyback makes a loud noise, so the bots are doing this to be annoying. Also people can prevent you from upgrading even without being in your party if they know your Steam account"

That's genuinely 5 seconds of information that he padded out to 9 minutes. I could see it being padded out to 30 seconds, but 10 minutes is ridiculous.

You know, I watched the new video again and I don't think I've been fair to Weezy.

Sure, his "cheaters" one was stretched to almost 30 minutes, where it all could be said in 5, but his new one is honestly fine as youtube videos go.

If it was a forum post then your short version is superior.
However, in his video he provided context, examples, explained roughly how it works and his personal opinions. His audience is not as informed as forum dwellers.

Other than being informative he tries to make it entertaining to watch. Youtube videos thrive on personality of their creators and I think Weezy does a pretty good job at it.

Just imagine making people interested in a stagnant gamemode that had last major update almost 10 years ago. Yet he succeeded and I consider it impressive.

What personally keeps me from enjoying Weezy's content is the fact that's catered to and only appeals to Two Cities.

Everything he talks about when it comes to strategy is how well it fits into the 2C meta. His background footage is almost exclusively Two Cities. And obviously you can point to many of the times he's called something "suboptimal" simply because it doesn't fit the meta doctrine (Damage scout being the most obvious example but you can point to a lot of things in his subclasses or tier lists videos too)

That by itself isn't the worst thing, 2C bias in MvM youtube videos are nothing new (Look at literally mvm tutorial made by a mainstream tf2ber) but it does kinda irk me since he advertizes his videos as MvM videos and not Two Cities videos. It's not always the creator's fault when people apply their advice incorrectly (see: people calling soldier useless in every expert mission, including custom missions) but stuff like this doesn't really help the problem.

Also he has terrible fashion sense.

He pretends to be an MvM YouTuber but acts like a typical Team Fortress player who doesn't actually know anything about MvM or care about MvM and just uses it to gamble.

Best answer.

I'm not a fan of Weezy. His takes on several subjects have been more or less questionable.
What makes him not trustworthy though is what he does behind the scenes just to get what he wants.

His "Cheaters in MvM" video in particular was full of red flags.
More background information on that and more about how he does things can be found here. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gzIi8PN7cleeEJQG-ximvRIuTRMiaQ3a-ru87j0vy5A/edit
