As someone who watched Matpat for a long time before finally unsubscribing, I can tell you what's going on: He stopped putting in effort. You can easily see giant holes in his more recent theories. He's even been doing a bad job providing scientific facts.


 * Pyro's gender: He used unfounded research, and purposefully (and visibly) mismeasured Pyro's head to body ratio, while also ignoring how thick fire-proof suits are.


 * Phone Guy is Purple Guy: He completely ignored the fact Purple Guy is smiling in almost every scene, meaning his smiling in one particular scene means nothing.

He doesn't care if there's any accuracy, so long as he gets a lot of views. I admit that slot of MatPat's theories aren't well supported. But there are a few decent theories, such as the Pokémon Go ones. I'm only subscribed to him so I can watch how ridiculous his theories get.
 * Sans is Ness: There are entire videos on everything he did wrong in that one, plus Toby Fox himself almost immediately said it was wrong.
 * The "Peach is evil" twist at the end of the parasitic fungus theory: While the rest of the theory was decent, his little twist at the end ignored the fact that Toads were seen with her when she was a baby, the fact the name "Toadstool" was a mistranslation, and loads of other problems.
