Part 4/8:
Fidus's rise began with mimicking the styles of established YouTubers, specifically drawing inspiration from the likes of Mr. Beast and prankster influences. This trajectory sharply transitioned into the realm of controversy as he engaged in questionable antics, such as sneaking onto public transportation without paying in the UK, and similar meddling in India and Japan.
These indiscretions culminated in a widely criticized video about "traveling across Japan for free," where he attempted to dodge fares and exploit local systems. This behavior ultimately led to an investigation by Japanese authorities and widespread backlash from the global community. Yet, instead of reevaluating his approach, Fidus doubled down, offering a vague apology that failed to resonate with those he offended.
