Don't even have to watch and I can guess the why. He built up a business using the dense, relatively wealthy New York ecosystem, despite the difficulty created by heavy regulation.

Now, his business has either grown large enough online with non-local customers that he can leave New York and still do well ... Or his social media is enough of a business unto itself to leave.

Which I think is fine. But it's also important to recognize that many of these people leaving urban areas like this would never have been able to build a business had they not started their business where they did.
