I still don't get this. People kept bringing it up like they were owed something. That incident had nothing to do with Tim, it was between the You Are Here crew and "Murphy". What would Tim talk about? Because, lets be real, if it's not a topic Tim can speak uninterrupted for five minutes at a time, what good is it to him (though he has gotten better with this)?
As I said, I don't actually think he is swatting himself, although nobody knows for sure that what's been happening is really that, or if he's blowing it put of proportion for attention and views: it wouldn't be the first time.
As for the Murphy thing, I know he didn't invite the guy on his show to talk about that, and the big revelations probably hadn't even really broken when the interview was set up, but he had Murphy on his show after those revelations, and he basically let the man carry on with his act without even acknowledging that he'd just been exposed as a scheming, grifting hypocrite. And when his own audience in the chat were trying to press him to address that, he not only ignored them, he attacked them.
That wasn't just "drama," which was how he tried to dismiss it. Murphy essentially built a cult of personality around himself and defrauded his followers out of huge sums of money by taking advantage of their alienation and their emotional vulnerability. Tim had the opportunity to confront him about that, and chose instead to lambast his own audience for asking him to do so. And this man has the nerve to call himself a journalist.
Pool is a grifter and an attention-seeker. There is nothing genuine about him. He has no consistent principles, and will change his views and his commentary in an instant in order to accommodate what he thinks his audience wants to hear. He provides no unique or original insight: he is needlessly sensationalist, and he's not even particularly useful as a news aggregator.
I used to watch almost all of his videos daily, but there's only so long you can ignore or tolerate that kind of behavior before you're forced to acknowledge it. Tim is a fraud, and you can't trust anything he says.

And swatting himself? Common, man.

It's a possibility for every internet personality, reminds people they exist and gets attention.
