Hes not reuploading them, hes doing the YT meta of changing thumbnails and titles every now and then to get them back into the algorithim.
You aren't alone on souring on him, that seems to be a growing sentiment. His upload schedule is dog shit, yeah Hbomberguy uploads a video a year lately, but his videos are 4 hours long. CGPgrey used to upload 3 videos a year that are a combined 30 minutes, half his new videos are members only, half of his older videos are now behind a paywall too, his last video on patreon is an "early release" that is still behind a paywall. He just dropped hello internet with no notice and cortex with a "hiatus". He's not making anything new but he's still running a patreon which was originally "only charging on video release to keep him honest" but is now a monthly subscription. He's also been open about his favorite goodbye is the "Irish goodbye" so I think he's just done now.
Yeah, dropped him from my patreon because it seemed like there was not going to be any more content or a discussion about it. I've had other creators that go dormant for one reason or another, but they generally share updates.
“Selectorate theory” is a legitimately a very interesting theory in political science and I would recommend reading about it to anyone who finds this video or the book “the dictators handbook”, which the video is based on, compelling.

Flippant Anarchism. A lighter take on social criticism with the aim of agitation.
Post humorous takes on capitalism and the states which prop it up. Memes, shitposting, screenshots of humorous good takes, discussions making fun of some reactionary online, it all works.
This community is anarchist-flavored. Reactionary takes won't be tolerated.
Don't take yourselves too seriously. Serious posts go to !anarchism@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Absolutely no right-wing jokes. This includes "Anarcho"-Capitalist concepts.
Absolutely no redfash jokes. This includes anything that props up the capitalist ruling classes pretending to be communists.
No bigotry whatsoever. See instance rules.
This is an anarchist comm. You don't have to be an anarchist to post, but you should at least understand what anarchism actually is. We're not here to educate you.
No shaming people for being anti-electoralism. This should be obvious from the above point but apparently we need to make it obvious to the turbolibs who can't control themselves. You have the rest of lemmy to moralize.

My opinion of Grey has soured over the last few years but I'm not sure I can articulate exactly why. I suspect it might just be myself changing over time but I've also heard they just started reuploading old vids to manipulate the algorithm.
The old videos are still good but I find myself scrutinizing of their points, thinking their integrity is compromised.
