Sam is one of the few influencers I totally respect because he has a preternatural will to challenge pretension and conformity. He comes off more as disgusted with our culture than as a contrarian.
Most influencers, even in the based hard right, are surfing trends, farming engagement, networking, and fluffing their own personal image. They're more beneficial than not, but it's still annoying. Elijah Schaefer has more skeletons in his closet than Nosferatu. Eva Vlardingblsdkjfl is super hot but you should never trust a girl who posts glamour photos of herself.
Sam seems to oppose that world as a matter of constitution. He's definitely too smart for it.
I liked his content before all that weird shit and his meltdown. Haven't checked in recently, but last time I did he seemed unhinged and unwell. He got a raw deal, and it seemed to break him for a while. He also got increasingly desperate and shilling when it came to monetization, after he got screwed, so it was less enjoyable to listen to on that front too.
What are the skeletons? I don't know too much about him personally.
Not recently, it was a while back. As such, I don't remember all the specifics, but he essentially got fired, from The Blaze as I recall. There was all sorts of drama going on, and he really got the raw end of the deal, lost his show, lost advertisers, and stuff. Really broke his mental, and he came back seemingly a totally different person.
Also, he had a show with Sydney Watson which also, predictably, fell apart. Somehow that crazy drama factory always manages to land on her feet, though. If I was a right wing content creator, I wouldn't go within a mile of Watson.

What happens with him? Did he recently have a meltdown?
