I'm 6'4" and have always flown economy. Some carriers are better than others, and seats with extra leg room are obviously a thing. It is by no means impossible to fly economy at 6'1".
This is 100% out of touch. I say that as someone that has watched this Youtuber's videos in the past. The fact he not only recorded it, but then edited the footage, and released it without considering that is fucking ridiculous.
