Anyway, the reason the "6:16" breakdown was better received was because there was no expectations. I don't even think dude's videos were ever posted on here prior to that.
"FM" on the other hand, people on social media (and even a few here) let their imaginations run wild. Talking about, what if What's The Dirt has a police report proving the DV accusation. Or an interview with an ex-girl friend Kendrick allegedly beat.
Based on nothing, mind you.
It's like people forgot dude is just a guy that breaks down lyrics for YouTube views. He's not an investigative reporter. He's not Barbara Walters. This was never going to live up to the hype leading up to it.

I actually like most of his videos, even it's not that special, especially if you grow up in this. But it's entertaining for what they are. I remember watching his Mobb Deep/2Pac video breakdown. He even used a post in the TheColi as a source in that video.
My biggest issue with this one was he's usually well researched, and even when he reached in the past, you can see how he got to that theory. It was typically backed by some evidence. With this, in a lot of these, it felt like he didn't like the backlash he got from Drake fans, being he's from Toronto, and tried to over correct and fished for more layers that weren't there. Kendrick wrote incredibly cryptically on 6:16 so it required an in depth breakdown of meanings for some of the bars. Relatively speaking, Family Matters was pretty straight forward. There were not many hidden messages or depth to the bars. It was just a dope ass diss record. By him trying to appear not bias, he came off as someone reaching for meaning behind things and just accepting things Drake said at face value, with very minimal evidence to back up the claims.
