This video is a good explanation of their initial appeal, at least to me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ug4KycJokng

This was the point that I jumped ship: https://www.reddit.com/r/h3h3productions/comments/7gqc8f/overview_of_the_jontron_racism_incident_for_those/ .

I had been initially attracted to his channel by his courage and humor; nothing about the incident mentioned in that post was courageous or funny. To me, it epitomized cowardice.

The overall message of his content nowadays seems to be the following:

• Liberals are crazy

• People on the right aren't that bad

• There is no difference, in quantity or quality, regarding the sins and morals of both political parties (I'm using the religious language figuratively)

• If you are my friend, it overrides any personal issue I have with your beliefs, and I deserve a cookie for it

I'm 23 and I feel too old for it. It's the sort of stuff I did in high school. Sitting around with my friends shit talking a world we didn't bother trying to understand. Then like I said in the post I linked, I don't think it's ethical to give views and attention to a channel that normalizes racism.

Multiple reasons why I jumped ship, any one of them by themselves would have been enough.
