About Tim Pool. I watched him for a while and I know why he is not in a relationship- does not know how to talk to people in a romantic setting.
He's basically the male version of the stereotypical career woman who spent her 20's and half of her 30's working overtime instead of interacting with men, but suddenly expects to be able to settle down with zero effort at the drop of a hat. They don't realize that dating is a skill and they neglected to ever learn it.
His entire life is consumed by a mission to promote his career and maximize online engagement stats while incidentally remaining alive. That's why he doesn't do OTG or investigative reporting anymore: because it's an inefficient revenue model. He's not the worst offender in the business, though. Not by a long shot.
Obsessive workaholism and personality prolapse through creeping stage persona cancer mean that the only women he engages with are either in the business or are groupies. You gotta give him some credit, though, for the fact that he doesn't appear to be settling down with a colleague/groupie like many performers do.
The funniest shit happened during last nights stream. He was talking about hiring people to do ground reporting...and that includes reporting on Antifa. This nigger was whining about Andy doing it not even that long ago. Guess Tim just wants that money maker for himself.
To a certain extent, I don't blame him.
I can tell you from personal experience that literally risking your fucking life to get breaking news never-before-seen-video whatever doesn't pay nearly as much as lazily blogging about shit that somebody else reported. Neither of those things pay anywhere close to doing paid propaganda unless you happened to make it big before Youtube and Twitter slaughtered every non-corporate-approved opinion.
Many good, passionate reporters in this climate have sworn off doing real journalism after poorly-compensated brushes with their own mortality. And that's even before your phone starts making weird clicks and the FBI starts snatching up your sources. Insult to injury, of course, is watching your engagement drop like a rock after social media companies notice that you exist and watching your name pop up on corpmedia articles accusing you of being morally equivalent to puppy-molesters.
So I get his frustration that Andy is setting a standard that real journalists have to be on the ground getting their shit kicked in and posting opinions that get censored instead of lazily phoning in a narrative barely within the current-week Overton Window.
To someone like Tim, that's an insult. "How can I - someone who likes to survive - compete with Andy Ngo making his bones by filming fucking snuff porn with Antifa? Homeboy got fucking brain damage and is still working the beat like that's normal WTF?"
That attitude is bullshit and is actively abetting the downfall of Western Civilization, but I don't 100% blame him for being weak.
