Karl's drama/exposé videos have always had this kind of antagonistic energy to them. It usually doesn't bother me since the subjects, like Billy Mitchell, have brought the absurdity on themselves. Carrying that same energy into serious claims of fraud feels like a poor decision even if it's the style of video you're used to making.
