durianrider is a bit of a viral-seeking troll blogger / salesman brand plugger on YT. his videos are more entertainment than actual cycling advice. he will title a video as a review and just show it on a website on his computer and list the components. he's pushing his "go vegan" brand for weight loss and he sells advice and ebooks to out of shape people.
he has a video which he tells amateur bikers to stay far away from carbon because he thinks they are too fragile which is what the OP is referring to.
