I think giving him everything 90s would be too OP, you could maybe give him 90s PC games.

Here's the original comment where I proposed a modern-era HyperCam.

After thinking about this for way too long: I imagine they expand him in this way to represent the way YouTube itself grew, and he'd become something you're supposed to dislike, similar to Ajit Pai. This would counterbalance the wealth of new sources he'd be getting (I think he'd be OP otherwise).
 * Rips referencing YouTube or YouTube trends.
 * Rips featuring old "YouTube Anthems" (Dreamscape, Bodies, Paralyzer, etc)
 * Rips featuring music created by or associated with (in)famous YouTubers.
 * Rips featuring themes or jingles of corporations.
 * Rips featuring advertisements.

He would also be redesigned visually to appear stronger/more advanced, and then in the bio, they'll say advertisers payed for the upgrade. For the quotes, he'd still speak the way he did before, but he'd also use modern YouTube memes and bring up how he has lots of ad money, a mix of old and modern YouTube.

The "evil" side of YouTube was definitely fresh in their minds when they started working on King for Another Day due to the copyright claims (and the termination that followed), so I don't think it's too much of a stretch to say they'd put some of that into their YouTube rep.

Etika complicates this however. I'm not sure when the source lists were finalized so they might not have allowed YouTuber music in the source list if the timing didn't work out.

Another option would be to expand his source list in the opposite direction, adding memes that predate YouTube into his sourcelist.
