I didn't watch the video, but I did compulsively follow the farms thread about byuu when all the shit went down.
The tl;dr is that it's uncertain. There's no 100% evidence (newspaper article, death certificate, etc.) that byuu is dead, but there's also no evidence that he's still alive.
He had very good opsec before the suicide incident, and he was never doxed. Some of the details of the dox as it broke are unclear to me, but the origin of it all was his emails with Null. I'm highly suspicious of one or two posters who provided some additional details.
Honestly, sad either way. He was never much of a lolcow. Sure, he was a gay, furry, self-dosing troon/non-binary, who then repudiated both non-binariness AND furries (even though he's still like mascot of aspie computer programmer troons [not to be redundant]), but he was also harmless and pretty non-offensive.
Clearly mentally ill, so I actually buy the suicide, though it IS highly suspicious.
The point is, he almost entirely kept his stuff private, he wasn't an attack mode SJW or someone like Keffals (involved in the current kiwi farms mess) who was obsessed with social media, ratioing people, threatened to dox people, etc. byuu was/is an autistic weirdo who did his own thing mostly in private. Keeping your private life private should be encouraged.
The farms is still down, but his thread was basically empty before the suicide incident. He even showed up and chatted with people there.

>not much of a lolcow
>explains how much of a lolcow he was
Yeah, I was being ironic :-)
