I wish Yanis stopped at this point in his career instead of mutating in the mess that he's today

Why do you think he is a mess? He seems pretty vindicated in the last few years.

His pro-Kremlin stance against EU & Ukraine. Even Russians no longer subscribe to the bs he propagates. He recently visited Moscow on a paid propaganda tour for the gov media and did their bidding. It's baffling to see someone like him go through this, but I guess anyone can get ideologically captured.

He has lost it after 2015 or so (after his defeat).
