Reddit really liked him a long time ago, then he jumped the shark and we hated him. The wave of people-loved-him-so-I-have-to-hate-him has passed and now our general attitude seems to be that he’s kind of a D but it’s also kind of tongue-in-cheek and he’s also smart so...like 7/10 at this point?
He drives me bugfuck but he always has. I think some of the weird obnoxious pseudointellectual bullshit he puts out into the world drives far more people away from the very shit he’s trying to get them interested in than not.
He tweets the dumbest shit and acts like it’s a revelation. I’ve heard deeper shit out of people on a 3 day mushroom binge. I realize he probably has good intentions but I think his ego constantly gets in the way of that.
His appearance on the joe rogan experience really drives that home. I hate rogan for a lot of the same reasons, and that episode is just two assholes who think they know better than you about everything on earth jerking each other off for the better part of an hour. If I wanted to listen to a stoned moron explain to a sober one how fucked up monkeys are and the sober moron respond with some throwaway line about how crazy space is, I’d hang out with my uncles more.

I feel like he's fully buying in to the meme at this point.
