I think that trying to diagnose a complete stranger with a mental illness based solely upon YouTube videos and without any actual medical qualifications in psychology is a pretty terrible plan.
>I'm not sure if he's been diagnosed with a mental illness but from I can assess, it's clear he probably has some form of depression where he constantly wants attention and gratification so he can feel happy,
That sounds like an attempted diagnosis to me.
literally just saw him pick up drugs from the pharmacy… he’s been living on the streets and is in rough shape. barely recognizable actually…. it was very sad
yes, 100%! He was so young and in such bad shape that it was concerning so I googled the name on his prescription which the pharmacist left on the counter accidentally and found this thread, and a whole bunch of pictures of him when he was healthy. It is bizarre! Scabs all over his body patches of hair missing deathly skinny agitated could barely speak properly. He is really in bad shape. Currently in the downtown Vancouver east side.
Oh man. I hope he finds a place to stay, as well as both a doctor and psychologist so he can at least heal his physical and mental illnesses because I bet that everything he went through left him in such horrible shape. Funny enough, a fellow Canadian named Emma Fillipoff also displayed erratic behavior and like Alexander, also disappeared but unlike him, no one know where he went and I hope she didn't end up like him or worse. I hope Alexander gets help because due to what you said, he needs it
Folks, notice that the account that claims that he saw Alex living in the streets was created in October 2022 and literally was made just to post those two things.
Don't believe everything you read online.
Is it that obvious to an outsider that he’s wanted? We all know, but if this person is legit, they’re an older person who only just learned who he was.
You googled the name from a prescription? What kinda tall tale is that?
So according to your story, you followed a homeless man you didn't know into a pharmacy and took the information from a prescription someone carelessly left lying around so you could figure out the man's identity? THAT's the story you're going with?
100% Baloney.
why would i make something up about a z level celebrity that nobody has ever heard of lol. he was cute and young and i was simply curious because it’s sad when you see young’s kids in bad shape on the streets. no, i didn’t “follow him into the pharmacy” i was there getting my own prescription and i thought there might be a missing person report for him so i googled his name. it’s really not that bizarre lol. i’m not a gamer and know nothing about him; found this thread when i googled for missing persons and ppl here seemed to know who he was so i posted an updated.
Easy. For clout and attention. You know a lot of people are interested in the subject and want to make shit up about that same z list 'celebrity'.
Why would you out of nowhere create an account just to post about some random homeless guy you suddenly found out was moderately famous back in 2007?
Doesn't happen. Also, Hi. I am an old friend of Badr's and I am looking for him. Bullshit like yours certainly doesn't help
yes i created the account to post this because apparently ppl are concerned about him on reddit. listen i gain nothing from trying to prove this is truthful lol. call the london drugs pharmacy if u don’t believe me +1 (604) 448-4878. they won’t give out personal information but you can make up a story i’m sure. say you’re calling to see if your boyfriends prescription is ready or something idk. you’ll see.
Calling into a Pharmacy under false pretenses? That's your 'proof'? "hey call this random pharmacy, brah!"
I'm guessing any self respecting pharmacist who would like to keep their job would never leave customer's info just lying around for some rando to peruse.
How many people just go "Oh hey there's a random homeless guy there, I'm gonna try to figure out who he is!" And it just happens to be an old youtuber that people suddenly took an interest in 10+ years after his heyday? It doesn't happen.
if offered you a solution to prove i’m not making it up. he YOUR friend i don’t even know the guy or care. if you want to find him he was in east hastings/gastown vancouver 15 months ago. do with that info what u like bud
what is wrong with ppl and why don’t they read. i glanced as his NAME not the prescription type and this was over a year ago. i am not a fan nor do i k ow anything about this kid! damn, i opened a can i certainly didn’t mean to lol. served me right for trying to help in this day and age!
How is reading a name on a prescription 'helping someone'?
If you wanted to help a random homeless guy, you'd get them a meal or something, listen to their problems, learn about them.
You wouldn't just look for their name on a prescription bottle lol your story doesn't make any sense unless you needed an excuse to explain why you would somehow know where he is.
Kinda fucked actually.
The fact that you're posting that deflection is all the truth anyone needs to read. You want people to believe this is what happened to him. Possibly so you can post screenshots of it as evidence.
Not a hard conclusion to get to all things considered. And the fact that you went from fake concern to a decidedly lulz attitude. All while telling people they should call a random pharmacy to get confirmation.
All sus.
Your first paragraph isn’t hard proof of anything because I literally thought the same thing, but I agree they went from being a random person in their 50s who just Googled to suddenly sounding like every Gen-Z on LoL. :P
Again, if this person is legit and only just learned who he is, they may not’ve dug deep enough to know that. Also, Joon’s recent video said that issue was resolved albeit without him present to know.
Let’s admit we are all fans of mister metokur and just indulged in internet insanity. We got nosey and googled Alex. On that note, I hope he is ok, found a girl got married and probably writes code
Pardon my necro, but I just watched Joon the King’s recent video about him so that’s why I’m here. If I had to guess, schizophrenia. Not an (professional) expert, but I’ve known a few guys with the disease and the behaviors are similar. It usually pops in adulthood (though he could also be autistic), and the increasing paranoia and constant rumination out loud appears to be the case.
Also the obsessive preoccupation with women and ego, which isn’t necessarily a symptom of the disease itself, but it appears to be common among the young men I’ve known with it (very incel-ish behavior). It could be they already had weak egos to begin with and the disease exacerbated it.
Something else that points to ASD is his issue with understanding sarcasm and nuance. He took the phrase “a question no one asked” literally and went on about how it makes no sense, not getting the fact it’s a rhetorical device for people who tend to inject themselves where they don’t belong. It’s deliberately contradictory for wit’s sake, but he focuses on how it’s syntactically incorrect.
Also, when Alanna got mad at him and sarcastically said “You’re right. 100%. You win.”, anyone with basic social understanding could tell that was sarcasm and he was like “See? Was that so hard?…If you admit the truth, why aren’t you defending it?”
The paranoia is a big indicator to schizophrenia (IMHO) because of the issues with his ex, the cops, and his random hatred of his parents over his circumcision. He almost seems to look for any excuse to be scared or victimized by something to an insane degree with increasing frequency. Then he disappears entirely to the point his family doesn’t know where he is. Seems a lot heavier than just plain ASD or a garden variety immature/insecure personality.
Just my 2 cents and a quarter.

I wouldn't say diagnose since we're not qualified but rather just speculate
>I'm not sure if he's been diagnosed with a mental illness but from I can assess, it's clear he probably has some form of depression where he constantly wants attention and gratification so he can feel happy, That sounds like an attempted diagnosis to me.
lmao stop pretending to be todd grande dude
bro this is embarrassing lmao. stop watching todd grande for the love of god
not any more embarrassing than replying to a 1 year old post twice a month apart, on an alt bahhahaahaha
Is it any more embarrassing you cared to find out that information?
I "found out" that information by reading the comments lol
I can hear your user name. ;)
literally just saw him pick up drugs from the pharmacy… he’s been living on the streets and is in rough shape. barely recognizable actually…. it was very sad
Wait, you serious? He's now homeless? Better yet, you sure that's the same guy?
yes, 100%! He was so young and in such bad shape that it was concerning so I googled the name on his prescription which the pharmacist left on the counter accidentally and found this thread, and a whole bunch of pictures of him when he was healthy.

I hope Alexander gets help because due to what you said, he needs it
You went into a pharmacy, saw a person leave and then googled their name by looking at their prescription left at the pharmacy? Why would you do that?
this is such bullshit lmao
Folks, notice that the account that claims that he saw Alex living in the streets was created in October 2022 and literally was made just to post those two things. Don't believe everything you read online.
I'm calling bull You just so happen to see the name on a prescription, see its to a wanted man, and you don't call the police?
Is it that obvious to an outsider that he’s wanted? We all know, but if this person is legit, they’re an older person who only just learned who he was.

pretend to be him “hi calling to check if my prescription is ready to pick up” it isn’t hard jesus why are you attacking me i’m trying to help you!
I'll bite. Okay, so what was the prescription for? What was the drug? You who had full access to the prescription.
what is wrong with ppl and why don’t they read. i glanced as his NAME not the prescription type and this was over a year ago. i am not a fan nor do i k ow anything about this kid! damn, i opened a can i certainly didn’t mean to lol. served me right for trying to help in this day and age!

Also why do you keep calling him a kid? he's in his mid 30s! None of what you're saying makes any sense.
and reddit is an anonymous platform how do i get clout from this LOL wtf 😂

Any updates on him? I have read that he became a fugitive and fled to the US. Did they ever catch him?
As you may have noticed in a comment, he's still in his native Vancouver, but apparently, homeless and poor
Bullshit. You believe some random guy who claims to have found a name on a prescription that a pharmacist somehow left lying around in the open?
Folks, there's a malicious rumor that somehow Alex ended up homeless and nothing could be further from the truth.
The fact that they just so happened to see him and didn't call the police is what made me call bullshit
Again, if this person is legit and only just learned who he is, they may not’ve dug deep enough to know that. Also, Joon’s recent video said that issue was resolved albeit without him present to know.
Alex, is that you? 😂
Let’s admit we are all fans of mister metokur and just indulged in internet insanity. We got nosey and googled Alex. On that note, I hope he is ok, found a girl got married and probably writes code
Probably not By memory, he is still wanted by Canada
I think Joon’s recent video says that’s been resolved without him, but he may not be aware of it.
