Which part are you referring to? I can't get through his highly opinionated and dismissive writing. Plus he refers to his daughter as his "biological daughter" which is super awkward and weird. I keep getting distracted by it. It comes across like it's supposed to be a passive-aggressive comment about his step-daughter or adopted daughter.

If you clicked on the “biological daughter” link, you’d see it links out to a Twitter post where Pavlo shares a paternity test he had to take for some reason. So it’s just a joke, not a commentary on other children he may or may not have.

Thanks for the context. Sounds like he's being passive-aggressive towards the parties involved that required the test for some reason. Now it's not just weird, but comes across as oddly petty for someone that is an adult that's teaching a bunch of younger people. Not sure what it is, but the way the guy is operating is a big turn off in a lot of ways.
