It certainly doesn't for me, but I'm just playing vidya at the moment, so I'll leave it on in the background. But, yeah, it's just reminding me how obnoxious he is. I've never been one of his hardcore haters, but I'm starting to understand them. This is painful.
I used to consume his content daily (at least some of it, because nobody has that kind of time) and I could tolerate his frequent bad takes on certain issues, his wishy-washiness, his fence-sitting and his rambling up to a point. What drove me away was his increasingly hyperbolic doom-mongering and civil war talk. He's become the same bottom-tier sensationalist clickbait hack that he always lambastes mainstream media journalists for being.
I won't deny the man knows how to make himself some money, and getting Trump on just after RFK is quite a coup. Good for him. But I won't be watching.
I'm trying to determine whether my interest in hearing Trump speak actually outweighs my contempt for Tim Pool, and I'm not sure it does.

10 years ago Tim was still working for Vice. It took Gamergate to give him his own footing.
Wait, we're responsibly for Pool?
WILL OUR CRIMES NEVER STOP?
I know, but we are. Sargon of Akkad gave Tim his channel for a week while on holiday and that's when Tim started to gain traction across YouTube.
We are the basis of all things uncomfortable in the world these days.
We also participated in helping the quartering and I really regret that.

It will all be chopped up and used in other streams focusing solely on Trump tomorrow so you're probably better not wasting your time with Tim.
His moving from the Left into an armed doom monger has been embarrassing to watch.
