Kind of a trend, the amount of youtubers who i had loved but their content became generic after gaining popularity is quite a bit, most drastic one being mrwhosetheboss, his uniqueness went down faster than ~~MH27~~ MH17

Eh, I would have to disagree with this, I have been watching him for a while and as far as I can tell the quality is the same the only difference now days is that he mentions his tools in the videos while picking the locks, so the videos didn't even really get longer.

He’s very much not liked in the lock picking community.

Not only does he push his overpriced tools a lot, most of them are very much not needed. He also puts a lot of focus on specialized car lock picking tools which are expensive at, made for each brand basically, and in a very dubious grey area which is a big no no in that “sport”.

From a purist side there are also a lot of complaints.

Agreed. Before it would be "so I made this tool by filing down this other thing, you can probably make one yourself" to "I used this tool that you can get in my shop, and here's how to pick it with a few standard tools as well..."
