I want to like Tim Pool, but I can't. I just can't. Sometimes he can come off as kind of lazy when it comes to research, and that whole "I'm a liberal but I agree with the right on everything" shtick was so ridiculous. But really, I think more than anything, it's that he's such a draaaaaag.
Ever listen to one of his videos & feel like you forgot almost everything he said? It's because every single video of his follows the same basic formula.
Minute 1: Talk about a semi-interesting & relevant topic, usually saying something agreeable to most people.
Minutes 2-10: Repeat exactly what was covered in minute 1, except describing it in different ways. This cycles about three or four times a video, typically with some random sprinkles of different topics in-between.
I feel like he often brings up topics that are beneficial to talk about, but when he talks, he sounds like your autistic second cousin who can't stop talking about the newest Nintendo game during a family gathering. Thing is, at least you can click off a Tim Pool video. You can't really walk away from your autistic cousin.
