You need physical access to the device which viewers don't have. Showing the code to the public does no harm.
My code is 3278. What can you do with that number? Nothing

Because its just more information more people dont need. And social engineering is a thing.

Really simple example. If your code is 0594, and I know your birthday is May 1994, then that tells me you likely use important dates in your passwords, which makes cracking your other accounts a bit easier.

There is no "would of", "should of" or "could of".
There is "would've", "should've" and "could've".

Youtubers have their information out there, or at least it's much easier to figure out where they are.

He probably doesn't have friends, so he thinks YouTubers don't either.

tells me you possibly use juvenile wording in your others passwords so when brute forcing your accounts they will start with those.

You edited your message because you're afraid of being moderated but still left a grammatical error in there. I'm going to mark you anyway for threatening to hack me.

not an error to assume an amateur's conclusion will be arrived at by a pro

Though I am interested to see if it will be modded for something insignificant like this. Fire away.
