Career
Spaulding's 2014 video “If Gay Guys Said the Stuff Straight People Say…” gained over 2 million views on Youtube, exposing microaggressions and straight privilege.[1] While living in Amsterdam, he created over 130 episodes of a video series called "It's Berlin" in which he delved into the psychology of Berliners.[2]
Spaulding's 2023 video "Birthday & New Beginnings After Gastric Sleeve Surgery!" marked his foray into working as a health and wellness content creator.[2]

Following his activism in late 2023, critics said Spaulding was social climbing in New York while on the "Zionist payroll". Spaulding, who is not Jewish, responded that antisemitism is a conspiracy theory.[6]
