I used to like him but started to feel he keeps ranting about very similar topics a lot:

1. neovim >>> vscode

2. X > JS (X=Rust, Go, OCaml etc)

I feel he doesn't do justice to his seniority and breadth of knowledge.

He, for sure, knows a ton. Yet chooses to waste streams on noob topics like editor wars, programming language wars etc.

I much prefer Theo-T3 because he finds interesting topics and really explores tech in depth.

I fixed that. Those topics almost certainly perform better because they're automatically controversial.

theo t3 excels very well on this one, really finds the balance on talking about opposing views of different people without being overly opinionated about it.
I find the total opposite, his video feed just reads like the front page of HN most low effort topic.

Im not hating at all but for example https://youtu.be/ZOYp6-k9HhE?feature=shared

Theres nothing insightful there that wasnt just in the comments of hn a few days ago.
