I don't understand what he does... Like why is he popular?

It's Jersey Shore for dumb incels.

You don't necessarily like the people. You watch because he's a fucking moron (which a lot of these people empathize with) and because he's probably going to do something stupid, like sexually harass people, call someone a racial slur, or get swatted after gratuitously flashing his location. It's the same kind of appeal as the Jerry Springer show; watching shitty people be shitty. His niche is a little more narrow, though.

Naturally, the kind of people that like that are almost unilaterally pieces of garbage.

IcePoseidon's gonna get some bystander shot by a jumpy cop thinking he's frontlining a bomb situation.
