His humour is extremely dry. I suspect his videos about his ex-wife leaving him etc (quoted by many people recently as proof that he’s a failure or something) are actually trolling too.

I’ve gone off him after he started shilling crypto and especially after this incident. His dry humour before was mostly self-deprecating, which was funny, but I don’t find this kind of “punching down” humour funny, and it’s way too blatantly trolling/attention farming.

yeah i'm remembering why I got into his channel now - he had a lot of content on his minimalist philosophy that I found interesting.

The whole 'techlead' thing did always seem like a joke, he was definitely either making fun of himself, or making fun of the prestige of working for the big tech companies.

I haven't watched any of his recent videos but it seems like he has shifted focus to just making $$. Maybe he should have tried to hold onto a tech job :D
