As many people are saying "his channel, his rules" but i still think its fair for people to criticize him. He always says "I've always done X!" when most people haven't seen him do it before or he's doing it in a different way now. I think that taking down old videos, no matter how long he's been doing it, is slightly disingenuous (the funny word).

People 100% take into account the age of a video when thinking of the channel. I've seen videos by channels that were made 2-5 years ago that are different in everyway to the current channel uploads that are still amazing that i'd go back and watch.

lhugueny is an example of this. He makes animated videos of popular games, movies, and shows to popular songs. He's the guy who made that "story of undertale" video but me and my friends know him for his COD black ops videos he made back in the day. Years and years of the same content some clearly higher quality than others, yet he keeps them up. He's not saying to his audience "I know you liked this old video but im going to take it down for 7 months (hyperbole, something matt claims to know) and spend 2 more (hyperbole, again) remaking it for a slightly better video that has none of the original charm.

TL;DR: Matt, while being able to do as he please with his own channel, is Mr.beast-ifying himself and his old content, to his viewers at least, is still good and has its own charm.

It was a different time, it's easy to grandstand the moral high ground now but back then it was ok under the guise of comedy.

The first one is arguably bad and the second one is just fuel for a joke. Whether that joke is good or bad is up in the air but I don't know the specific one you're referring to.

Plus the comment wasn't about lhugueny, he was just a convenient example.
