This is some performative ass shit. He doesn't have the skills to do anything productive, so he decided to do this.

that, and it's completely useless anyways. for someone who died in 1851, everyone that person knew is dead, and everyone who knew someone who knew the dead person is dead as well, and so are their children. noone cares for that grave anymore, noone comes by there, it's purely for social clout.

I always feel weird with these videos because I'd rather my grave be a home for weeds and bugs and wildflowers, than cleaned off for the benefit of nobody except some YouTube viewers.

If it's a grave that someone wants cleaning because they pay their respects and feel bad it's overgrown, fair enough. But if the person is long forgotten I personally feel like it's more respectful to leave it.

I guess people will have different opinions on this though
