Merrick Hanna

he dresses like an extra on a Disney channel series circa 2004
This is key to understanding a lot of what is going on... he's working to build a lasting place in entertainment. Universal and Disney are watching. Anytime we see him, he's going to be in "costume," which for them means dressed precisely like they want him to dress so that his appearance is comforting and relatable to the young demographics and their respective parents.

I don’t think it’s that deep man.
 
Or he's simply dressing the way he wants ;) Merrick is one of the most genuine and unique content creators I ever saw. I don't think he's trying to follow a certain schema to impress one of those companies. He already has more than 40M followers. He doesn't really need Universal or Disney.

I mean, it’s likely a combination of both lol.
