H3h3 redemption arc

Am I schizo, or is Ethan’s reputation improving in the commentary community and the internet in general?

He seems to be reclaiming his former position and gaining respect. Not to mention, he seems healthier and also looks like a genuinely good dad and husband.

Ps: I saw people in YouTube comment sections and on subreddits claiming they have regained respect for him.

He also seems to have shaken off the cringe "troll’s remorse," unlike iDubbbz.
