This is unverified so maybe that should be included here since it's getting upvotes. I'd rather delete it tbh but can't. Or if someone can just flag this post for me, thanks.
The account uses the same handle as his twitter account and was created on Jan 2024. So arguably not someone else riding the popularity wave of the recent developments.
The username on an account can be set or even changed at any time and would not affect the created date.
(And like, he might simply not have had a YouTube account with his username set--so as to effectively prevent someone from doing this today--as there is no reason to have done so unless you really cared about your username.)
That said, he was apparently a bit of a software developer (with an account on GitHub), so maybe he in fact really did set this all up ahead of time? But the profile pic just seems way too ridiculously on the nose, frankly...
Also, if you are going to do this, would you really not have your YouTube account linked from anywhere?! He has an account on all of Twitter, Facebook, GitHub, and even Linktree, and yet no link to this YouTube account.

He outwitted them for long enough to get his arrangements in order, kill someone else, or himself if he chose to. Given his flippant reluctance to leave the area and stay in PA, it really does seem like he was just waiting to see how long it would take for them to find him.
Police also say he was found with handwritten documents - also described as a "three-page manifesto". The documents showed that he seemed to have "ill will towards corporate America", officials said.
It depends on what bias bubble you exist in. There are people calling him a anti-capitalist left-wing radical but also an Andrew Tate/Peter Thiel booster. Crazy how hard the culture warriors want this so bad to be about them.
Right, down with the Romans, really bad civilization, let's all make fun of them. I am glad they're all dead or turned into stone (I think?), am I right?
Too bad the comment wasn't:
O no, Ludovicus! Captus es! Dixi tibi vestigia tua operire!
