Is Chris Chan a success story?

Hear me out, I watched a 3 hour documentary and I felt really sad for him while simultaneously repulsed by the degeneracy to which he had sunk. As a fellow autist, I felt he was a mirror to myself which made me uncomfortable while simultaneously I have nothing in common with him. However on further reflection I thought all is not lost for him. he's a social media influencer, internationally famous, has a girlfriend and may even have a child on the way. He was a NEET but has somehow carved his own niche in the world. The tragedy is he must live with himself and his deeds. But by outward conventional metrics he is a "success".
