Yeah, he has more expertise than I do that’s for sure. I’m not trying to detract from his expertise, he’s clearly smart and knowledgeable and it’s hard to find alternatives for a niche like this. If it works for you then it works for you. I know that he’s not the only lawyer youtuber, there is a lawyer twitch streamer out there who does commentary on popular cases, I haven’t been in that corner of the internet in a while.
I think sometimes I’m too critical of people like them when I should realize that it’s for popular consumption and its not an academic exercise. But I personally have an issue with someone who is clearly trying to play the algorithm in a way which directly conflicts with him trying to be an authority on these issues. You cannot be a pop culture commentator, and figure, while maintaining an academic level of integrity. I’ve seen this problem in some scientific channels, (where i actually know my stuff) and the more popular channels tend to dilute the content and sometimes just give a wrong impression of a scientific topic.
