Is Metatron an actual reliable source...

Is Metatron an actual reliable source, or just another youtuber historian parading his own theroies as undisputable hard fact like Lindybeige?

I find that he cites sources for his claims a lot more than the others.

Generally speaking a good youtuber on history and I find he isn't as opinionated as other historians in the community.

He's easily the most humble and inoffensive in regards to his own opinions.
10/10 pretty cool guy

Really autistic body language, I specifically can't stand the subdued hand movements
Also, has said in one of his videos he actually wears mail armour at all times making him succesfuly autistic

He's one of the better ones out there, and has an actual degree in history if i'm not mistaken.

he's cringy as fuck but he's not a bad bloke

>can't stand the subdued hand movements
Well he is Italian

Isn't being cringy and autistic a boon of confidence for a historian?

I'm way more inclined to trust a spergs opinion on history

Usually the youtube history autist make me cringe but Metaron spergin is endearing for some reason.

For the most part, he's okay. He does a lot of cringeworthy stuff, but most of his content is sourced relatively well and presented neutrally. For the most part, he only really talks about surface-level stuff, though; outside of the Roman and Japanese stuff he obviously knows well, his knowledge mostly seems like stuff pulled from Wikipedia.

>He's easily the most humbl
Eh, not really. The guy always refers to himself as a "scholar" and "researcher" and acts like he's a serious academic, when he's only a high school English teacher and freelance translator. And that kind of behavior shows up all the time, like when made an entire 20 minute video bragging about his military service and acting like it was impressive, when he served less than a year as a conscript and didn't do anything. He isn't a blowhard like lots of youtubers are, but he clearly has a very high opinion of himself and somewhat of a delusional sense of authority when it comes to historical stuff.

>Also, has said in one of his videos he actually wears mail armour at all times
Not at all times, just when going clubbing at night. People here love to point at that video and make it look like he was being a ridiculous LARPer, but it's actually very sensible video. He lives in a city where stabbing are apparently somewhat common, and wearing mail is a pretty damn good method of self-protection if that's something you have to worry about. Sure, it's a little autistic, but he has a good reason for doing it, and I'm not going to hold that against him. I live in an area where there used to be lots of knife crime, and it was common to see people in leather motorcycle jackets for the same reason; I know more than one person who survived an attack because of it.
