FFS, what is wrong with you?
He's not allowed to hold views you don't like?
People aren't allowed to choose to listen to or agree with those views? People aren't allowed to get value form his live shows? Or, as discussed, listen to him for other reasons and ignore stuff they don't agree with or like?
Perhaps he shouldn't be allowed to have access to a Youtube channel or a Twitter account in your view? Perhaps his "cancellation" didn't go far enough in your view?

Strawman arguments. See the emphasised part in my statement.

Many people (and possibly the majority) have had similar and far far worse problems in their life without feeling the need to conduct their therapy in public nor with expounding far left/right politics.

Discussing problems with trained therapists is a better option for all concerned than discussing them with random strangers. At the very least a trained therapist should be able to encourage someone to look inwards, and discourage them from (conveniently) blaming others.

The "echo chamber" effects of unsocial media are causing more and more problems in society, e.g. Andrew Tate influencing many impressionable teenage boys (of any age!) with his misogynist attitudes.

Apart from that, of course he should be able to espouse such views - and I should be able to note that I find the way he delivers the views is poor and is akin to "letters written in green ink". (Yes, back in the 80s I saw several such letters written to VCs, and shared their amusement).

Nah, none of that. Mr Adams probably doesn't use quotes in an approved fashion.

He did NOT do that. He off-handed mentioned it once. Few people would actually know unless you happened to catch a small part of that one episode where he admitted it. It's not like he came out every morning and pleaded for everyone to stay and listen to him otherwise he'd kill himself. Nothing like that ever happened. His show is not a therapy session.
No different to people who find value in their daily work or family life that keeps them going, while secretely having problems.

That's no the way you are coming across, not at all.

Bugger off. Again, you are practically saying that something is wrong with him by enjoying having a live youtube show talking about daily politics. He clearly enjoys doing his show, he likes talking about and analysing this stuff, why shouldn't he do it?

What views can any person have that many don't regard as being incorrect, divisive  and worse?

It doesn't matter what your views are on anything, somebody somewhere is going to think they're wrong, divisive and downright offensive. This used to be ok and we would just agree to disagree with those people. The world was a better place when people were able to do that.
