Fuentes is exactly like that though. He is a literal meme of a Mexican mutt short guy jerking off to femboys while screaming about how Jews bad and women evil.
He is a literal caricature of every negative stereotype about the alt-right you can think of.

I don't follow him. I've caught a few long-form interviews with him on podcasts that I do watch over the years (Hodge Twins recently). He did none of this. He talked about stuff that I would classify as mostly reasonable, and nothing he said made me feel like I need to go and subscribe to his channels/feeds/etc because I just don't find him that interesting or insightful.
Maybe he acts differently in other places. I don't know or care. I don't think he has much real influence; he has almost no presence outside of very specific Internet niche, but when he does leave it he at least seems to be able to behave himself.
But apparently not thinking he is a fed and is merely a troll is insufficient. Whatever.
Fuentes has a wierdly large amount of money/connections and a legion of sychophants. That means that his presence when he breaks into the mainstream on things like podcasts is carefully curated and clipped to lure people in through the exact manner you described. He says reasonable things there and then draws them down the rabbit hole.
He doesn't have much influence and his party has been dying for a while, but what he does have is the exact power you are describing. People know nothing about him, but he says some "based and agreeable" things sometimes so people make posts like this about his thoughts as if they are valid and then it gains influence that way. It doesn't gain him direct power, but it does sway some less certain people's minds and plants the seeds for retarded ideas to sweep through.
Everything you are using to downplay and describe him is exactly what a Fed plant would want (see also, movements like Patriot Front who can be described exactly the same) to maintain their level of influence.
There's been a propaganda strategy shift in the last 6 or so years that understands memetic transfer and tries to prevent the spread of ones they don't like with pre-exposure, much like how a [real] vaccine would prime your immune response with a weakened virus.
Attach the good point to something that makes normies recoil and the normies then get primed to recoil from the good point alone. It's the time-honored "poisoning the well" trick but with an extra payload to poison things outside of it.
Until now I never had a huge problem with him either like some people. There's lots of reasons not to like Trump, and it's legitimate politicking to try and push the culture towards your point of view, then convince politicians to make gestures to your movement if they want your support.
At some point you do need to recognize you've gotten all the concessions you'll get for this cycle, and lock in your political capital until the next - if you don't, people will question what your real goal is.
If good points were at all convincing to normies, they'd already be convinced. They're exceptionally good at ignoring the obvious if it maintains their social standing.
Feds don't bring up good points. They act as a racist caricature cartoon to serve as an example of "wow, don't be like that crazy guy."
I don't follow him, but from what I have seen, Fuentes doesn't strike me as that.
