But without having watched many videos of him (about 2), his appearance just screams devious weasel to me.

The two biggest charity events he’s had, Team Trees and Team Seas, he did literally nothing but pitch the idea. He was giving away Lamborghini’s during the period he was telling his viewers to donate, and it’s not like he did any of the work either, he just contracted with established environmental nonprofits. So why is he there again? Why didn’t he just tell people to donate to those nonprofits directly?

He had you donate to him instead of directly for the same reason businesses ask you to donate to X charity at the registers - tax breaks. I mean, I’m not an account but I imagine this is why he did it that way.
