I feel like your mind must have confused two people. Steve is very down to Earth.

Maybe his youtube-battle with ElectroBOOM turned you off? Where he was pretty convinced he was right about the chain fountain.

Nah I always have the same impression, even though I’ve been watching for years (long before the chain thing), and I can see the janky setups trying to figure things out.

I think it’s mostly the voice / accent, to me it… sounds sneery?

I find him very down to earth with a healthy dose of humour and self deprecation.

Maybe it could be a British thing? Perhaps there's some culture-specific signalling that can be read in a different way in a different culture?

That is what I assume yes, but I don’t know where I picked it up.
