atla modern au Iroh's youtube channel is very popular because he's very calming and friendly.
A huge chunk of his audience think he’s just a soothing older man that knows a lot about tea. So the top comment on videos where he shows his face are inevitably just:
so does this mean most of his videos are just focused on his hands making tea as he philosophies on tea making and cryptic messages for the white lotus?
And those times when Zuko is heard yelling in the background he gives out parenting advice.
Yes.
And Iroh absolutely gives parenting advice, but the way he talks about his nephew makes it sound like he’s a fussy toddler going through his terrible twos, not an almost-grown teenage boy
"Today we are going to discuss dragon pearl tea. These leaves are carefully harvested and then rolled into these beautiful black pearls... Oh hello Nephew. (Crashing noises) Hmmm.(jump cut) as I was saying, these beautiful pearls... (Bumping noise) Take deep breaths.
Why don't we all take some deep breaths while the tea is brewing. (Jump cut)
I apologize for the interruption. My Nephew is having a hard time today, so I've set him up with some soothing tea and a nice couch to take a nap."
