As much as I have ranted about Synth and Egad and my frustrations with them and their content before, I would ultimately summarise my feelings about them as pity. They're two men clearly suffering from the lack of proper IRL community, any meaningful relationships, and purpose, trying to substitute those with online interactions and media consumption. While my life isn't perfect, looking at them makes me grateful for the opportunities and connections that I do have and emboldens me to not waste those or whatever remaining youth I have lest I end up like them.
