From the video “the distance of 17km should result in a curvature that obstructs this laser just over a metre high”

First of all there’s literally no way to confirm that 17km figure for me, so from that alone this argument means nothing to me and is unverifiable, but whatever:

Earth curves approximately 8cm per km, so going by the videos description of 17km distance there should be about 136 cm of curvature. A metre is 100cm, and he stated his laser’s height was “a little over a metre” (yet another useless, undocumented claim, but whatever). So let’s assume 1.2 meters high for the laser, 120cm. Now if his distance was off by even a single km, or he “rounded down” a height of 1.3 metres to “a little over a metre”, it goes from “bulletproof evidence the earth is flat” to “entirely expected by the standard model”.

I’m not convinced by that, certainly not enough to start attacking people as paid disinformation agents for disagreeing.
