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.

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.
