does anyone else see his breath pouring out the back of his mask?

The water is being pushed out the side of his mask as that is the path of least resistance. You can see the large water droplets ejected behind his ears. Also, it doesn’t mean a thing of the virus is airborne as our governments are now advising.
It should be pretty obvious by now that the masks have not really done much to control the spread. If it does have a small impact then it’s dwarfed by many other variables and is practically background noise. Any pro-mask doomer will even concede that they don’t work well enough for us to resume any of our normal lives but with masks on.
Masks seem to be a tool for the governments to say “Hey! look! We’re doing something! But if it is not going well then we have some group of people at which to direct our anger and to blame!!”

huh here I was thinking human breath turned pink in cold air and cascaded to the ground like a waterfall

It's misleading. The fog from your breath isn't always there, its only there in the cold because of how humid and warm it is compared to the outside air. In this case a lot of the moisture is condensing on the mask before it hits the cold air. After a few minutes this guys mask will get wet from all that moisture and there will be just as much breath fog as normal. I feel like most people in cold climates have worn a scarf over their face and know this happens.

Thank you. I was going to say this, but my brain is the consistency of banana pudding today. You summed it up perfectly.

I love how people just buy this shit, as if he can't control how hard he exhales at any moment. Also not a real world test because there's no coughing or yelling.

That's what I noticed, he's breathing really heavy, you can see his chest movement, without the mask. His chest movement isn't as big when the mask is on. Also, this is no where near scientific enough.

That’s because it condensates with the air.
Try again with cigarette smoke

Who breathes this heavy? It’s like he’s forcefully pushing air out through pursed lips.

Because viruses travel the exact same way condensation does. The "logic" these people use is laughable.

Now smell the inside of the mask.

Masks are a petri dish for germs. Change my mind.

Yes, I do see it. He should try coughing/sneezing being general breathing doesn't spread droplets thus his point isn't really being proven.
When is everyone going to get over the idea that everyone is sick 24/7 and just breathing is killing people because it's not.
And a fair comparison should be sneezing into your shoulder, and sneezing into a Kleenex/handkerchief. Because that's me (and most people) have been doing that long before COVID.
Meanwhile tons of people take their mask off to cough or sneeze. Because who wants that shit rubbing on your face all day.
I legit believe a more effective solution would be to advise people to carry travel Kleenex or handkerchiefs, and to cough or sneeze into those. While facing away from others when possible. Be a lot less intrusive too.
Some of the cloth masks and gaiters can break up sneeze and cough gunk into smaller particles that linger in the air longer.
