==Channel==
He created his channel on January 17, 2019, and uploaded his first video on a few days after his channel creation. He would make videos about country politics, mostly on and espousing strong stances against what he views to be imperialism, American exceptionalism, and capitalism. He is strongly opposed to the state of Israel as well as the U.S. and Australian militaries. He has made several video essays on Latin American politics as well as videos debunking arguments made by right-wing channels such as PragerU. He also has a second channel called BadEmpanada Live (previously "Empanada Report" and "BadEmpanada 2"), where he uploads stream clips talking about more current events unscripted, as well as many drama and content filler videos.
He is an extremely controversial and divisive figure within the leftist YouTube space, as he is known for engaging in vitriolic behavior against those he disagrees with, such as Vaush, Destiny, and Eristocracy. Other examples include him berating American veterans as war criminals for their participations in the U.S. invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan, rationalizing the 9/11 attacks by citing American imperialism, and doxxing other YouTube creators. He has been banned from Twitter (now X) multiple times due to death threats and violent outbursts against other users. Some users have joked about the number of alt accounts he has created on Twitter.
One creator he has had conflicts with is Beau of the Fifth Column. Yannis provided information to the news site Daily Dot regarding Beau's convictions for human trafficking-related offenses. For this reason, he has been accused of needlessly causing drama within the online left.
