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.
