Refuses to elaborate further
It’s literally all he did for ten years you daft cunt 😂

Sam is still around though, I saw a video he put out a couple of weeks ago about presidential pets.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.
Came here expecting you to call him a “bloody wanker”
Dude made a fortune on merch, I see red shirts and grey hoodies all the time
Who is this guy?
Tom Scott on YouTube
He did some video about how Dasani failed in england
Huh, never knew where those came from. .
I’m not gonna lie you got me in the first half. I was like “No, that guy does not sell merch, he… oh well played”
I’ve always strongly disliked Tom, and I don’t really know why.
I love many channels with the same kind of videos, it’s right up my alley, and I should be a fan. But every time I try to watch any of his videos, I stop after a few seconds and think “nah, I can’t stand this guy”.
I’ve forced myself several times throughout the years to watch through whole videos with hope that it’ll pass, but it never does.
Everything else that I don’t like, I can explain why, but not with Tom and his videos.
The closest I can find is that he just seems like such a smug asshole.
I respect him as a creator and know that his videos are good. There’s just something in my brain that strongly reacts to him in a bad way. It so weird. He has covered many topics I’d love to know more about, and I’ve tried to watch those videos and just focus on the information, but I just can’t get past my mental and physical reaction of “stop, get away from this ASAP”.It’s interesting how different people interpret attitude in vastly different ways. Because where you (and others I’ve seen in other threads) find him smug and an asshole, I only ever found him to be extremely sincere and excited to learn and educate.
Although, I’d love to know what channels you watch that cover similar topics! Wasting time on YouTube doesn’t feel as unproductive if the videos are educational…
Veritasium is like that for me. No clue why.
Read this in Tom’s voice.
…the fuck?
On a lighter note, anyone find that copypasta/comment where sameone accused Tom Scott of stealing his girlfriend at a party etc.?
EDIT:
Found it, it was a lemmy post. https://lemm.ee/post/6282702
My mate told me that he seems very smug and not very English. I found that quite funny. I don’t particularly dislike Tom but I don’t go out of my way to watch him like others. I still remember his OnlyConnect appearances from way back. He’s not everyone’s cup of tea and that’s fine.
For me it’s the way he talks. Like he talks just like the smarmy British presenters and narrators that sound borderline condescending whether that’s their intention or not.
Who is this
Tom Scott, he makes educational videos on youtube
*made
Thanks!
