If a person doesn’t like what he says in the video, and many people don’t, then they are free to criticize him on the youtube page hosting the video. Or even better, if a viewer knows a better set of information than what he is mentioning, they can take the time and make a high quality video with better quality graphs and post them as a response. If their video is good, it will eventually get more hits than his.

Not actually true, the owner of a YouTube channel has complete control on the comments and video responses posted.
Interestingly, Nick removes any negative or critical posts or video responses to his videos.

He clearly isn't interested in debate, which isn't suprising, because if he was open to debate it'd soon become apparant that most of what he's saying contradicts science and already established lucid dreaming knoweldge. Wouldn't be good for his sales or lucid-messiah complex that would it.

Interesting. Certainly not good for him to be so unaccepting to negative feedback. I wouldnt mind, if he would remove rude posts, but if he removes opposing ideas, it makes the question about his intentions quite relevant. Still if I were you, I would operate with words more carefully. Mentioning messiah complex is a pretty big acccusion. Labelling someone as having messiah complex means that the person is in a state of mind in which the individual believes he/she is, or is destined to become, a savior. In Lucidology videos and Saltcube videos, I havent seen evidence to prove something like this.

I agree it wouldnt be helpful to his sales.

P.S: I like your pretty descriptive overview of your WILD experiences. Very helpful.
