Matpat has been half-assing his theories ever since he started live-streams :/ Lots of that info is out of date and inaccurate.
On a related note, we actually save the Vex, on Paradox.

How did we end up saving the Vex? Was it just because we ousted the Taken that were invading? Is that why they voluntarily let us in the Vault and those Vex out front stood at attention?

Precisely!

Preadyth says it himself. "The Vex have predicted their own annihilation" "Could minds the size of planets be wrong?" The Vault of Glass is where they are at their most powerful. That is the heart of the Vex in our solar system. With us destroying it and the Fallen scraping it. They had a lot of work ahead of them to fix it. The Taken changed that. The Vex all share one mind, all see the same thing each unit sees. So how does that play in when a Vex unit gets taken? We don't know Its possible that they don't know. There are only two things the Vex don't understand, with a possible third. The Heart of the Black Garden The Taken Process The third being us and the Traveller, they know of us, they have encountered us before the Darkness and of course they have known about the Traveller, but do they know of the Light and what it is? We don't know completely. But when the Taken took the Vault they had the ability to destroy the Vex as a whole or at the very least in our sol system. By destroying the Blighted mind, the Taken lost their grip on the Vault, on the Vex. Preadyth says it as the door opens. "The Vex won't spare the City, they won't even thank you. But that's the thing about the light, right? You never know where you're gonna shine" We saved the Vex by destroying the Takens hold on the Vault. In doing so, we proved the Vex collective minds wrong on a level they have never been wrong about before. They thought their death was inevitable, but by our hands, they were saved. In doing so we may have saved one of our most powerful enemies, but I can guarantee that if the Taken had gained their power. Things would've been a whole lot worse.

actually since Crota brought the vex into our word, they met the darkness before they met us. They were corrupted by the darkness, to become what they are now.

Yeah, and did you notice he turned into a really liberal guy recently?
-
I haven't actually got around to watching the live stuff yet, but I believe it. He's always come across as a fairly liberal person to me, but his stuff was always so professional. I'm thinking the new schedule is simply making him slack off on his writing and research. A little more raw Matpat.

Pretty much, i heard he even messed up one of his Fnaf videos really badly by missing a really obvious fact
