Bandman Kevo is an interesting character.
I went down a rabbit hole last week and watched some of his old and more recent videos. I'm almost certain he is a narcissistic sociopath based on his obsession with money and public image. He got into scamming because of it. He also has issues with personal relationships due to his thirst for making money and being seen a certain way on social media. He talks down on his followers a lot too.
Five or more of the following DSM-5 criteria need to be present for an official diagnosis.1
- A grandiose sense of self-importance (i.e., exaggerates their achievements and abilities)
- A preoccupation with the idea of gaining success, power, love, and physical attractiveness
- A belief that they are special or high status and can only be understood by similar people or should only associate with those people (or institutions)
- A need for excessive admiration
- A sense of entitlement and expectation that others will comply or give them favorable treatment
- Exploits other people for personal gain
- Lacks empathy for others
- Envies others or believes that other people envy them
- Arrogant behaviors and attitudes
People with this disorder may monopolize conversations and look down on people whom they feel are inferior to them. They will take advantage of others to get what they want, no matter who gets hurt along the way
