I hate to play devil's advocate on my part but I actually really like Devon Tracey. One aspect of Devon I like is just how confrontational he is.
A big reason why I watch his videos is actually because he goes after popular figures and says a lot of what people want to say, except he says it and has absolutely no fear about it. I actually first heard about him after watching a video where he went after the Atheist Experience.
I used to watch the Atheist Experience for many years but stopped after their frequent apologetics for muslims. And the fact he calls out Russel Glasser so often for being so passive aggressive is something I felt really delighted by.
Indeed his videos where he goes after his critics like the Canadian Atheist are some of his best content entirely because of how well he completely nullifies everything they said almost in an instant. Every AIU video I've watched is almost mesmerizing in just how he completely belittles their argument within just a few minutes. I remember being actually surprised he was a liberal and was against things like the second amendment because of how anti muslim he was.
Given how hyperbolic he is I can easily see why he has followers and why he incites so much ire. And it's hard to not admire someone who never gives an inch in a conversation ever.
To me Devon is a person who is as confrontational as he is largely because of the rise of things like social justice warriors and how idle people are in confronting them. And it is very cathartic to watch someone who is able to summon up so much aggression toward something you dislike.
