Just no.
Peterson's brilliant remark about lit theory applies here, too: any time you have a shitload of people, in unison, responding enthusiastically and consistently to an irrational thing, you best pay attention. Yours and Mik's responses mimic my own about Harry Potter, back in the long ago, and I was completely wrong about it.
But I'll get to that in a second. I personally don't care about the rags to riches story. I just really appreciate the extent to which he is and was fuck-bankrupt. That wasn't his first video, not by half, and they're pretty much all like that: him doing what-the-fuck-ever on his phone because he damn well felt like it. He was poor as shit, lived in an RV park, and had a day job at a potato factory. So fucking what, he can still enjoy getting to work on his longboard ass-early in the morning.
As for why this blew up so freaking much, there's obviously something to it, because his view count is absolute nonsense. Rogan tried to untangle it a bit on his podcast but I don't think he got anywhere. His guest mentioned a correlation with the collective hangover we all have about 2020 and I think that's probably right.
Right now, people seem to get something really good out of seeing others enjoy themselves despite shitty circumstances. Maybe it's something like that.
Still weird as shit, though.

There's a massive difference between being famous for 15 minutes and being famous for 23 years. I would be willing to bet your house that this guy is totally unknown again 5 years from now.

You're absolutely right.
It's still completely irrational and insane that he's this internet famous, even for 15 minutes.
My point is that there's still a reason for that, and it has nothing to do with his videography acumen, which is none, nor does it have to do with how depraved or tasteless you think society is. It fills some kind of real need. It's not fun to say, because it's not fun to give credit to people we think are talentless, crude assholes, but I've already said it has nothing to do with him at all.
Please love yourself.

Agree with @Aqua-Letifer @Loki and @Larry
I did watch the video. A fun moment in time. Not rehearsed, not planned, no expectations, etc.
