Never understood the fascination with that guy. He isnt insightful or clever and he isn't optical or attractive. At best he is sometimes adjacent to other more interesting people.
I hate how he avoids a lot of important topics just to keep making stupid amounts of money.
He avoids topics to talk about irrelevant and silly things like chickens, skateboarding and long-winded joke examples and hypotheticals that don't add anything to a discussion
The money is from some poor sap paying 50 bucks to ask an insightful question and hear "yep" as the answer, assuming it's even read at all.
He's always been a fence sitter trying to dodge any and all controversial takes. Not sure why anyone would ever expect more from him.
Hes not a fence sitter, he's a leftoid and always has been.
Leftoids and Rightoids both highly value freedom, and sometimes they work together, but he's still a degenerate. They both hate corruption another thing he likes to rant about. The problem is people keep viewing him through this lens and thinking that because I (as a rightoid) believe in these things so must he, but alas it is not so.
He's a leftoid but he's still or at least was a fence sitter. A grifter. Never taking a clear position. Always trying to appease both sides or at least the side that throws money his way while not pissing off the other side. He's a dishonest, self-conscious faggot who tries to hide his balding head under his beanie instead of just shaving it.
Or tell you how he lived on the bad side of chicago or something lol.
his mom is Korean and interracial marriage was illegal just 30 years before he was born!
He's a personality people are comfortable with because he reminds them of the relatively apolitical 90s and 2000s, but he still comments on the news to keep them up to date.
"Turbo right wing uberman" is or was too intense a talking head type for most people. The left wing equivalent, Hasan, is successful because the left is temperamentally inclined to reckless radicalism.
He gained his fame from when he was traveling around doing on the scene coverage.
Since he stopped he's been sitting on his laurels trying not to rock the boat and avoid disrupting the gravy train.
But he reads news articles to me! Am I gonna have to start reading headlines myself? This is horrible ! What have we come to?
Isn't he still dealing with the Biden Administration using the FBI to paint him as a Russian asset?
As then yeah I can understand the meltdown, we're all not Alex Jones able to deal with that level of shit.
What else is new? Aren't meltdowns a routine for this twatwaffle?
I at least listened to his podcast because of the variety of guests he was getting.
His meltdown over Subverse (game) stealing his news website name and his promise to use his entire net worth to fight them in court amuses me to this day. That sure didn't happen lol
Edit: Found it!

He had a meltdown a few days ago over Elon's block changes. And another a week before over Adam making a joke about his Magic card.
I wonder what the scope of the Tenet media stuff really is? We have Matt Christensen losing his co-host, now Pool is saying he is done.
I don't think the Matt & Blonde breakup has anything to do with Tenet media or the Russians.
Beyond the fact that Matt's 144k/yr magic windfall for doing the exact same content he was already doing for YT shekels went boom.
So his sudden paycut from the glowies made him turn his guns towards his lazy female cohost to try to claw 10% of the revenue that she probably didn't deserve in the first place.
Then she said "I'm out", and he acted like a beta boyfriend bitching about it for 4 hours on stream for superchat bucks.
Alternate headline: It's a day that ends in "y"
So what's the tl;dw?
"I'm stopping everything but the main show because my employees are lazy" is pretty on-brand for a mercenary faggot like Tim Pool.
