A group of people including Drew DeVault are trying to cancel RMS again, basing their claims on ancient misinterpreted quotes. Stallman may be controversial, but these activists are just acid for the entire Free Software movement.

It's a guy babbling about an anonymous website with the same-old stuff against Stallman, and how that is part of a conspiracy to harm free software.

I watched it (most of it) despite having formed my opinion on the quality of that DistroTube channel a while ago... you might want to be wiser than me and do something else with your time.

PS:

Before you put me in the pro-Stallman faction, let me clarify that I think the FSE (non the FSFe - BTW you should change your name guys) is largely irrelevant and so I've never investigated the allegations to Stallman enough to take a stance pro or against: I do not care.
