Seeing how Scott Adams seems to have fallen off the deep end of the far right in recent years, I would have to say it's likely the former.
Scott Adams was always weird, but without twitter, people just interpreted his work in a way favorable to themselves. Twitter let the world see an unfiltered version of himself. If you go digging into his recounts of his early life, he was always a smug little boy with a superiority complex.
The Behind the Bastards episodes on him were really good. As someone who once read his comic daily I also took some reassurance from the fact that he had an open suggestion line and was essentially publishing croudsourced jokes submitted by a large portion of the tech sector for a long part of Dilbert's run.
Same position as you. I stopped reading them at some point because they were just the same jokes reframed. It was pretty shocking when he put out his "Evolution is Bullshit" article.
