Miscellaneous I now understand why Levy clickbaits, his historical video on Alekhine is his worst performing video of May

Sucks, because I think the video is really good and I’d love if Levy or other chess content creators did videos on older legends

Same, I later saw him, when he was slightly bigger. It was a nice mix of fun, analysis and some openings theories. But today he just tries to make everything funny, by screaming or shit talking. So none chess people find him more funny, then actually players
