Joe X Deletes YouTube Channel

I know people either love or hate Joe X's blade destruction YouTube videos. He put a video up about 10-11 hours ago, saying he was forced to take down all his videos, due to blackmail and intimidation. Someone started a thread about the video, and the moderators shut it down, due to vulgar language and disrespect to other forum members.

I'm wondering if people can have a respectful discussion about Joe X's destruction videos.

Personally, I enjoyed his videos, even though they weren't exactly scientific. I have a master's in ME, so I appreciate a scientific testing process. Joe X's tests were far from scientific! That said, I've purchased many blades, because they survived massive abuse from Joe X. If you think critically, many of his videos were quite informative.

He did use a lot of vulgar language, and sensationalism. Still, it's sad to see a YouTube channel focused on blades, get taken down for an undisclosed reason.
 
Yeah, he was a goof, but there are plenty other goofs. People don't like him so he should canceled? I guess I'm too old to be bothered by such things. Just don't watch it if you don't like it. A couple "tests" that he did were somewhat interesting. I have several knives that he broke and I lost no sleep over it. And, I purchased more from the companies he criticized after he broke them.
