I was reading this earlier about PV, I thought it was insightful: https://open.substack.com/pub/coffeeandcovid/p/vincit-omnia-veritas-tuesday-february?r=7ja88&utm_medium=ios&utm_campaign=post
Tim sucks, his channels suck, Timcast is shit. He’s not smart at all, you can tell he’s a fucking retard from the disordered stream-of-consciousness on display every time he rambles through a ten-minute long video. He never had any interesting insights into anything or anything worthwhile to say. The ONLY reason he’s successful is from relentlessly brute-forcing the algorithm by posting 20 shit article-read videos a day for years. You see his thumbnails and assume because he’s discussing something interesting that you’d like his content, and I think that keeps people clicking on his videos and letting them play in the background because of that out of habit. I don’t think anyone actively listens to him and hangs off his every word, because if they did, they’d quickly unsub from all his shit like I did years ago. Fuck this little bald hapa asshole, fuck his crew of sycophants and fuck his shitty falsetto singing cringe music.
The Russians are extraordinarily bad at PR
I think it’s more like they don’t see the value in fighting a bullshit “information war” and trying to “win hearts and minds” when they can systematically demilitarize the opponent with a 10:1 k/d ratio. They live in reality.
