Actually start of 2020 he did his whole conspiracy theorist arc with Bill Gates, Qanon, Covid Hoax, 5G etc and caused massive backlash with his fanbase, yet it was overshadowed by his trooning out. Some said though most of the ideology came from may. Could be a copout though, see how he claimed May was the one getting him into Loli/guro.
He can't be "pleasant to the ears", he literally can't hold a note, just listen to his tracks:

Yeah, I would concurr, keep in mind there are 'amateur' or even 'bad' singers that can somehow work their shortcomings into their vocal performance and give it character, see Ol' Dirty Bastard or Kid Cudi in terms of rap but Digis Vocals are just pure dogshit and sounds super grating especially when he starts screeching without a purpose, straining his vocal chords like a teenager.He can't be "pleasant to the ears", he literally can't hold a note, just listen to his tracks:
Hiding in the Bathroom, by Vizier & The Golden Witch
10 track album
He is out of tune even with the ridiculous amounts of voice modulation.
The best he can do is use the ups and downs of a short rap beat to hide how bad he is at singing.
That's just it. The effort required to make rap is minuscule compared to any other form of music. From my observations, it takes an average person who practices regularly about two years to start to sing decently. Here's a guy who started to sound decent after about three years, for example. Has Conrad ever showed that discipline in any aspect of his life? This guy couldn't even brush his teeth until he became a loli.
This is true for a lot of pop singers, but it requires something other than talent: Self-awareness. The singer has to know exactly how he sounds, and what his voice can express effectively. How does Conrad do in terms of self-awareness?
I’m surprised he never thought about doing production instead of rapping, like those random “TYPE BEAT“ video with gifs from anime scenes in the background, which have nothing to do with the title of the song itself.He can't be "pleasant to the ears", he literally can't hold a note, just listen to his tracks:

Digi turning his channel into a Naruto amv channel would bring him more money than his content right now.
He does, although I don't know which games besides Dark Souls. He mentioned in that interview with that ex-fan about his channel dying that he wanted to make a vidya analysis channel (which would've been a good idea since this was before people like Joseph Anderson were around), but decided on anime instead. I think before the Gunt fight him and Riley were streaming some game
He has definitely tried his hand with Let's Plays with May, as well as previously with Victor:
He has also done Let's Plays with the other PCP members.
I remember sitting in on a Pokemon Blue nuzlocke he did live with May back in 2019, but I don't think he had superchats enabled. Don't quote me on that though, but it would be very confusing if that were the case, considering it was around the time his videos on Steins;Gate 0 horrifically underperformed and he would be looking for ways to haul in some extra revenue from a then-dwindling but dedicated subscriber following.
Did they, compared to the views he was getting for his other videos on both his main channel and his After Dark one around that time (late 2018 )? He got over 100,000 views for each of the first two videos of that four-part critique, with close to that views count number for the last two parts:
My understanding was that Digi expected those videos to get AssWar levels of views within a week of uploading, if not more so because he had succeeded in getting attention to his channel for trashing Shin Sekai Yori that same year. I'm sure other people on this thread many pages back have noticed this trend and pointed it out before, but Digi would make long-ass videos trashing popular shows whenever he felt that his audience was stagnating, which actually worked for a couple years.
I AM GAMES bombed because they stopped making heavily edited video essays almost immediately and just opted to do mini-vlogs and livestream clips instead. Digi and Tom stopped giving a shit once they were a month in and didn't break 100k new subscribers, so if they don't care about the grift, then you, the audience, shouldn't care either.
Society doesn't need any more men in drag, there are enough of them trying to gain access to your kids as it is.
I agree, I think Digi's success during his anitube days came in waves. At least back in 2018 he had the good sense to acknowledge that not every passion project of his that wasn't a video essay was gonna break six or even five-figure view counts, and he betted more often than not that casual viewers wouldn't care. I think the wires got crossed sometime around late 2018 where he began to view himself more as this misunderstood auteur creator (most likely because of the weed, let's be real) and if you didn't like the new strand of anime analysis videos then you just don't get it, maaaaaaaan.
OMFG HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
To be fair, he always had those fidgets, at least ever since I started watching him around 2016. They also were super apparent during The Pleeb and The Weeb with Jess. He also had twitching eyelids from his psych meds, back when he took them, to combat his psychotic depression and suicidal urges (from quitting his job at target...).
