Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

His speech can’t be real. No one is actually that self-unaware. It sounds like a 14yr old edgleord from 4chan who legitimately believes he is the smartest person in the room

I'm pretty sure he just hams it up for the camera. I've seen some other, "normal" videos with him and he seems like a mostly normal guy, personality-wise. He's not as flamboyant as his on-screen persona.

I subscribe to YMS's theory that he had a body destruction fetish sugar daddy. Maybe the sugar daddy left or this will become part of a cycle. Don't really care that much to actually look any further.

Also, has anyone else ever called him a villain before? That's a new one for me.

It's obviously a persona for the videos. And it clearly works, seeing the view counts.

idk I think Machiavellian speeches are fun, in particular if the topic is not about actually hurting anyone
