To play devil's advocate here,i cant completely blame Dev.Earlier Dev was very clearly aware of his "place"in the youtube ecosystem;he always mentioned that he is too fat,ugly and uncharismatic to network and keep growing as a creator and achieve microcelebrity status.However he was content in pulling a nice high 4-figure sum from Youtube's easy money golden era.
However these times have passed.You dont get to make a chunky(heh)living anymore with his numbers since ads are cheaper and cheaper,and you need to go to Hambly levels of pants on head retarded self-censoring if you want your video to generate real ad money with his kind of views.His erratic behavior reflects his dwindling income-he feels compelled to act like Destiny because he hopes he can generate enough dramaclout to get eyes on his more essaylike content.
