While I also don't like his schoolboy humour (being much older, and not his intended demographic) you are very wrong about him being low effort in his research. On the contrary, that is why him and his producer were physically attacked and not the "serious" journalists.
Content aside, his stand up skills are surprisingly good. Perfect timing and clever audience work.
Do you have any idea how often serious journalists put themselves in danger with their work? Just because you don't hear about them being attacked, doesn't mean it's not happening. They just don't have YouTube channels with a million followers. And these days it doesn't take in-depth research to draw the ire of people. It doesn't take effort to piss off the powerful. Say the wrong thing and you're a target.
I know double Walkley award winner Anne Connolly from Four Corners is gutless.
