Summary
If you've been on the internet for long enough, you might have heard of Maddox. In his video, he talks about his experience with a stalker who was once a fan, Dax Herrera, also known as Dick Masterson online.
He shares how he caught Herrera lying and talking behind his back while they worked together on a podcast (The Biggest Problem in the Universe), and after cutting ties, he became overcome with obsession towards Maddox. He has proof to back up every claim he makes throughout the entire 2+ hour video. You'll find multiple examples to illustrate the severity of the issue, including a situation where an he was doxxed and his home address was shared without permission, leading to the demolition of the building he lived in.
Despite Maddox ignoring him, Herrera continued to tweet about him constantly over 752 full pages on a 6-inch smartphone, even creating mobs for targeted harassment and abuse. Maddox emphasizes the negative impact that ignoring such behavior can have on a person's reputation and stresses that Patreon and Reddit are giving his stalker a platform to continue his harassment.

My thoughts
I think it's important that this topic be discussed since it tackles a much broader issue of targeted online harassment, where despite the fact that he got the authorities involved, platforms such as Reddit, Twitter or Patreon continue to allow Dax's behavior. The online climate has become so toxic that not even lawsuits can tame it.
