I like his content, but yeah, this has a 'rat fleeing a sinking ship' vibe.
He's stepped on the backs of the folks bailing to reach a lifeboat.
I like Viva's content as well.
He's worked hard to turn a side hustle into a full time gig with tenacity and some luck, much like Nick Rekieta and the Kyle Rittenhouse/Johnny Depp trials, to the point where they both could quit law for YT.
When you watch a lot of Frei's content however, you realize that he's more of an entertainer reading articles and tweets aloud to you like Tim Pool and The Quartering than he is a legal mind bringing much expertise to the table.
He is trained in Quebec Civil Law, which means his expertise is incompatible with the rest of English Canada’s Common Law system and even more hopeless interpreting US law, which is the bulk of content that he covers with Robert Barnes on Sundays.
He also seems like a good father and family man, but it's also apparent that his content suffers from it. During his convoy livestreaming in Ottawa, he was constantly cutting of his streams because he had to drive two hours home to pick up his kids from school "or his wife would be mad". He's stopping streams now mid-afternoon to go fishing in Florida. His streaming is always sandwiched between care of his disabled dogs or parenting his rambunctious kids.
Viva's entertaining, a good host and a good human, but it's also apparent that he does very little research outside of the show (outside of tweeting and digging up tweets), but also doesn't have the legal or intellectual chops to be able to carry a show either beyond a layman's superficial understanding of most topics.
Oof.
If you pay close attention to his Sunday stream with Robert Barnes, Viva will often mention that Barnes will send him a package of US legal briefs as "homework" every week that Barnes plans to talk about in-depth off the top of his head and give commentary, that Barnes obviously has kept up to date with over the course of the week out of pure interest.
Viva many times has to make excuses like a kid whose dog ate their home (ie "I received that one but didn't have time to read it", "I read that one but didn't understand it", "I started reading that one but didn't finish it") when Barnes introduces a new case they are going to discuss.
They have their shtick and it works. Viva is the host and entertainer, Barnes is the legal mind.
