He's very earnest about pop topics that many people already have some sort of opinion about, which is very divisive.
Obviously lots of people like him, but as noted above, others do not.
I actually don't like him either, I find his explanations a little long-winded for many of his topics in general, but. I think the way he explains pop topics is very good and digestible for a lot of people.
Also, he definitely feels too professional for youtube, maybe too slick? Like he's trying to sell his idea, regardless of its merit, with such smooth delivery and high production that it's irritating.
Just as an example.
He's fine though. I'm sure he's a nice guy
I don’t like the „too slick for Youtube“ argument as if it wasn‘t a billion dollar platform full of millionaires in your recommended section. Youtubers get flag for spending some money on a nice little studio while we pretend it‘s totally authentic to stick a tiny $1000 mic to a literal cinder brick and hold it while standing in a deliberately badly lighted green screen studio that costs just as much to set up.
That's exactly what I mean.
If you go and look at those millionaire youtube influencers, you'll find the exact same detractions you've read above.
He has a TV background. He's either developed the skills or connections to keep his videos top quality.
Probably both, his YouTube video production quality spiked pretty rapidly after he got that limited series.
