    It’s just the guy’s style. His whole thing is to be super dry, sarcastic, and sassy. He leans into it big time. I get that it might seem annoying if you aren’t used to his content, but it’s just his personal style. His videos are actually really good and often very informative since he has a background in city planning.

      I definitely agree on the content, it is the presentation I was criticising; and furthermore my point wasn’t to criticise, but to highlight that his popularity is beyond what it would be with his content alone, since the presentation probably makes a lot of people cringe.

      Basically, the number one rule of engagement is: do not leave anyone indifferent. Those who you can’t appeal to, irritate, or offend. And I believe he does that part better than most.
