He does a great job appearing to be a decent and relatable guy

I couldn’t disagree more. He’s always come across as a hateful asshole.

… who's just being mean for a gag, but it's becoming more clear that's not a bit

Exactly. The guy’s a prick. There are so many good choices for this kind of content out there. I never understood how anyone could tolerate looking at Linus.

I suppose younger guys might look at him and think “he sounds like he knows his stuff” or… maybe think he’s relatable, like you said above. Maybe?

But as a grown ass man, my take on Linus has been “fuck this prick” since the beginning. He always looks and acts like he has never taken a shit in his life, and today’s the day it’s going to come to a head.
