Hoe_math is correct about basically every dating observation he talks about and correct about most of the societal premises that cause those phenomena.
The part where he loses me is working 90 hours a week to release 4 videos a month plus tweets. Admittedly the videos are pretty long as of late and require dozens of hours of work each, but the math ain't mathing. Dude tweets like a chimpanzee on crack, so if he's that drained he should lay off X. He gets $3k a month from Patreon alone without collecting digital fees from his AI and reading materials. I don't think he needs the X payout.
His X posts themselves have gotten increasingly febrile and dogmatic to the point where it's hard not to imagine him writing a 2,000 word rant in a near-permanent state of eye-popping rage. He's also expanded from relationships to cultural politics and the Bible, somewhat understandably, but also a little out of his wheelhouse.
I wonder if part of this is the pressures of the influencer career where they are constantly looking at their metrics in fear of loss of engagement leading to a doom spiral for their channel. This is what caused Lindsay Ellis to flip out the last time she ran afoul of her audience. She knew she was shedding viewers, and the channel needs a constant intake of new subscribers to keep revenue up.
All of this, of course, is exacerbated by the housing costs, inflation, overregulation, and cultural propaganda crushing everyone into little Blackrock economic units. The worst effect of this might be the loneliness. If you're not in your twenties anymore, you don't have a family, and you're not plugged into IRL communities, then it is much harder to find real friendships and dates in a world where diversity has fractured community and nonsensical social conventions are attacking what's left. At that point life can start to look like a funhouse mirror. Terrance Popp has a good video about this. I think many of us are running on the treadmill to either prevent this from happening to us, or try to climb out of that hole. Popp himself has concluded that he simply "won't be around" after some point in his 60s, which is really sad.
In the past, husbands and wives would have faced the world together at least. Larry Fink, Gloria Steinem, Obama, social media engineers, the owners of online dating and porn, and a train of other ghouls have ensured this does not happen.
Did you know that Lindsay Ellis is still milking her old fans for about 300k/yr in old Patreon subs despite essentially producing zero content since her "canceling"?

Hey, who said tolerating people like MovieBob wasn't worth it? There's a lot of money in MovieBobs.
Not wrong, but leads to nihilism.
