I suspect that Goodman is probably NOT his real name. That’s partially why he feels so free to slander people online. Also, he’s being paid by someone — or something — with deep pockets. He’s disinfo, meant to splinter the creator community. Create distrust. I would treat any of his “close friends” as extremely suspect.
Let’s say he works for someone like Charles Koch. Isn’t that creepy that people like that are contacting employers, telling lies? Frightening. And Google’s motto is, “Don’t be evil.” Turns out that motto is an evil, monstrous joke. They laugh at anyone who believes it.
