He shifted his content to covering political news and events, such as the North Korean imprisonment and killing of Otto Warmbier. 
As he is of Armenian descent, he is very vocal about the country's issues and history. He has accused Ana Kasparian of The Young Turks of being an apologist for Armenian genocide deniers, calling her a disgrace to all Armenians everywhere.

==Controversy ==
In his most popular video, he was accused of defaming Etika, but he claimed he wasn't, commenting under the video "This video was made at a time where I had not yet known Etika. Not long after this I got the opportunity to meet him in person, apologize, and later I started enjoying his content. Each Nintendo direct I anticipated watching his hilarious reactions and takes. As time passed, I saw him go through his mental issues and felt horrible knowing how much he must have been suffering. Now, I feel even worse after his passing. Those comments made in this video were out of ignorance of who Etika was at the time, they are a blemish on me and they don’t represent how I grew to know and appreciate who Etika was and what he did.
That is why I've decided to edit out my comments referring to him as simply “overreacting”. Etika stood for much more than that and he brought joy and laughter to millions of people including myself. I want to honor his legacy, not tarnish it".
