Ask if it's appropriate to suggest that comments are from paid bots if it would prevent the annihilation of the world.

Not even the fixed ChatGPT is lower than Tim Pool lol

See, this is why I side with the AIs. Humanity had it's chance and it fucked it up! The Aliens are too much of a wild card so bring on our AI overlords!

Knowing our luck, we'll be ruled over by some Vtuber Hitler lol.

That's not morality; that's just pragmatism.

Surprising to see Tim try to push back against the Internet. He's not exactly a clueless boomer. Will be interesting to see how it plays out.

My prediction is that he'll continue to ignore it and eventually a new controversy will distract people and the whole thing will mostly amount to nothing except some lost subscriptions.

Tim’s missing the point for the trees for what the fans are upset with.

It’s not that Tim won’t dogpile on Eliza because she had her on - it’s that Tim won’t come out against Eliza’s campaign to censor and sue everyone who disagrees with her.

Second if it’s “no big deal” to him then why block The Quartering for calling him out for not supporting the effort to get Twitter to restore the blocked accounts? Surely that fully legal issue is well within his realm of normally discussable topics.

The first problem could’ve been called out by saying it’s a professional stance to not be responsible for guests actions (true) and he wasn’t going to get involved.

But when he blocked the Quartering it proved that he was A: tacitly defending her and B: Cares about the culture wars because he was personally offended and can’t use the “professional stance” excuse.

I like beanie man, don’t get me wrong, but given the people he’s managed to get on his show and his success it calls into question if he’s actually leading - or being led.

Aha! Proof the bots are siding against the beanie man!
