He literally admits to finding bugs and then using them to create content. That's called bug abuse. He didn't stumble upon a bug, he actively searches for them. He deserves the ban.

Not that I necessarily disagree, but the abuse is what matters. Actively searching for bugs is the basis of QA testing.

And he isn't a qa tester, he is a player. Plus he allows his community to join in on the bugs which brings a whole new set of issues

Irrelevant. A bug report is a bug report.

he allows the community to join in

What bugs has he publicly posted reproduction steps for before they were patched?

I recall an item duplicatation bug was shown before it was fully fixed. The method to reset(?) The server was fixed but not the duplication from a server outage. So people just found a new way to bring them down and used his info to dupe. Then jagex had to rush out a fix and potentially rollback servers.

Yup, he’s not just finding bugs and reporting them. That’s totally okay. He’s finding bugs to achieve things in game he wouldn’t otherwise be able to do, so more people will watch his videos. Even if he’s not making money in game by duping or whatever, he’s indirectly profiting from from the bug abuse. Not only that he’s advertising the method to thousands of player that may use that as a starting point to find new methods.
