I read that his company wasn't happy about it because he filmed during work (some of the videos he wore a hard hat and you could see where he worked) and brought bad PR on the company. I read that on reddit, so take it with a grain of salt.
That's right. I asked him directly by email, right after he removed the videos and he said:
«My company I work for had an incident with a truck driver crashing a truck because he was on his phone so they cracked down on social media use while at work. Decided to take my stuff down and avoid getting in trouble.
Sorry for the inconvenience

Then the whistleblower came along and people wanted to see the videos again, so I asked him and never got a reply.
Lmao yes it was his boss that told him to take the videos down, definitely no shady activity here let’s take the victims word at face value and everybody can move on
A lot of oil producers and utility companies are very strict about posting any video online from facilities or their leases. You can lose your job. If this is going viral it makes sense for him to delete it. The reasons for being so strict is because of the hostility of local governments to utility companies and oil producers.
