98ss UTG is a fold until you have developed your game enough to have a significant post flop edge.

I am playing this hand as WA/WB and trying to get to showdown as cheaply as possible. If he wants to spew, you can let him. Does this guy fold anything? His aggrro factor is through the roof and I have no idea if he has the best hand and me raising probably won't give me any info because this guy only has a raise button.

As played, river is call. This guy could have any two cards and you have bloated the pot that you only need to correct 1 in 10 times to win money and I think you will be good more than that vs this villain.

against this guy i dont mind donking if u think he'll flip out and raise 100% of his hands, this lets u fold out the sb.

on the river i just don't know what to do

If the guy is the spazz that he looks, then anything other than calling is pretty bad. Being shown QTss isn't really going to be a surprise.

why are you opening 98s from utg when you are gonna get 3b every time?

I was blindly following my open raise standards- currently reviewing and adjusting them. Judging by my replies it is a very good idea!
