Why does anyone care about him in the first place? I really don’t understand why anyone gives this dude any attention, he seems like a loser that’s never accomplished anything.
He’s a conman and very good at selling his reputation. (Artificially) deep voice, fancy words, and distracting audiences with a blackboard. It’s all it takes to project a strong and attractive image that gather audiences.
He also sells a lot of his “good side” via short form videos on Tik Tok and YouTube etc. So when you only get a snippet or two of him talking or answering questions, and he seems like he’s encouraging people to learn to code or do game dev etc it sounds nice. It sounds like he’s being supportive of his audience. It seems like he’s just a dude. But when you get right down to it, that doesn’t bear out who he is, even his actual online persona in his long form content or streams.
Oh God the thing he does where he just draws random circles in ms paint drives me mental. I was trying to watch some of his videos in order to be able to form my own opinion of him, and that tendency drove me mad there’s literally no point to it.
The problem I have with him is that he just announces things, like with the stop killing games movement, he just said the movement is bad and he doesn’t support it but he never explained himself. Even to this day I don’t actually understand what his problem with the movement is. He isn’t a publisher, so I don’t understand why he cares.
Probably people who are losers and haven’t accomplished anything are his audience. You know like teenagers. His loser vibe resonates with these type of people and at the same time he puts up this fake authoritative personality and people with low social skills or little life experience can’t see it’s a facade. So they treat him as some sort of expert in the game dev field, because they can’t see it’s all just lies.
