Why should I watch him? He sounds entirely unpleasant, and I'd much rather watch someone who isn't pushing the envelope.
The personality of a housecat
Chill man. This person’s obviously blind to nuance and they’re only going to get worse if we provoke them.
We can’t afford to let these people just stew in their own misery. People have power, and if we can’t bring this person into the fold for all we know they could be the next hitler or something.
You're taking a couple comments at face value, when the actual creator goes into detail about each one of his ads and the thought process about them. He's legitimately a great guy and creator who does his best to be respectful with what he does. He's very upfront that his content isn't made for kids, including the best content warnings I've seen a content creator do on their media.
Perhaps, but nothing I've seen mentioned sparks my interest. I'm not a fan of "shock comedy," and while foul language doesn't offend me, it also doesn't interest me.
That said, I'm glad he's respectful.
The shock comedy is mainly his Surfshark ads, and even then the shock ones are few and far between. They're mainly just comedy sketches. If you've ever seen any of the asdfmovie sketches, that's him. One of his best videos is his in-depth review of Thomas the Tank Engine.
Couple other favorites from his main channel (Where the higher production skits are) are Let Me In and The Hole.
I haven't heard of any of those, so I'll give the Thomas the Tank Engine recommendation a shot.
"Shock comedy" doesn't appeal to me in itself, but swearing and offensive speech don't really bother me, provided it fits in context.
How boring.
Because you’re making stupid judgments about him based on perceived certainty that your level of knowledge doesn’t warrant, and if you can see with your own eyes that you’re wrong on the calls you’ve made so far it might make you less likely to fall on the wrong side of something when it truly matters, like if you’re on jury duty and have another person’s fate in your hands.
So I should watch him because I don't know what his content is like? There's a lot of content I'm unfamiliar with, so much that I can't possibly watch it all.
So far, nobody has given a compelling reason why I should watch it, and "it's not as offensive as people claim" isn't a very strong sales pitch. It's not a reason to watch it, it's just a reason to not avoid it, which isn't the same thing.
So I'll ask again, why should I watch him? What unique value does he offer over other content?
