No, he doesn't. He's a very untalented and unintelligent young man who needs attention to have an income; this rag is giving him that attention. I'm part of the problem by commenting on it, and I'm not even spreading any awareness that this man makes money through clicks so will act out for those clicks because it's something we all know.

He's a very untalented

Yet he was able to get his channel to 4 million subs, demonstrating that you're lying about him.

unintelligent young man

He's 35

who needs attention to have an income

This describes literally any science yt channel...

Just say you don't like him, or even hate him. No need to dress it up in arguments.

Oh, no worries - I don't like him, I don't like twitch streamers generally 👍 I think he's untalented. Saying loads of people like him doesn't really prove that he's talented, does it? Plenty of people like all kinds of things.

35 is young.

My pointing out that he needs attention for an income was more about how it feels like he's creating rage bait to get engagement in recent months (his pivot to saying outrageous and inflammatory political things etc ).

I don't like him. I do also think he's untalented and unintelligent and young.
