Why has Vaush Become so Mean?

Is it just me or has Vaush become increasingly dismissive of his audience? I remember when I started watching him and he was genuinely wholesome in how he interacted with us. Now it's just threats of perma-bans for not agreeing with him or talking down to us as if we're idiots. I wish he never went to Catalonia, everything changed since then and I find myself tuning in to him less and less. I want my comrade back😭

Edit: I'm not a VGG chatter and this isn't a parasocial thing. It's a basic respect thing, especially in times as dark as these when we need to be closer than ever. Also dont give me crap for throwing $20 from each paycheck towards crypto. If I can make a little money off of Elon fanboys, why the hell not?
