...so almost 2 hours per day.
He's got too much time on his hands.
Anybody that listens to that "stream of consciousness" has too much time on their hands.
Hence:
* classic yootoob waste of time
* miserable people wallowing in their own grievances, rather than enjoying life
--- Quote ---The channel description is
"Scott Adams (famous for creating Dilbert) is a trained hypnotist, and is widely recognized as an expert on persuasion. Adams has emerged as one of the most influential observers of politics in the United States. His bestselling book, "Win Bigly," teaches persuasion, and his bestselling book "How to Lose Almost Every Time and Still Win Big" is widely considered the best book ever written on developing systems for success. His most recent book is Loserthink, which teaches you how to avoid it. If you enjoy learning how to be more effective in life while catching up with the interesting news, this is the channel for you."

--- Quote from: ebastler on May 12, 2023, 10:28:22 am ---Please, just make sure that you don't follow the Scott Adams trajectory in other respects: Once liked for a unique take on the office landscape, or electronics as the case may be. Then becoming increasingly convinced that he needs to (and has the calibre to) fix the world. I found that embarrassing and annoying to watch.

What's wrong with wanting to help people and/or shape the world? Sounds more like you are maybe a tad jelous because you don't have the skills or influence to do that perhaps?

Oh man... Why would I be jealous? I have never even tried to be an "influencer" on any scale and any medium, let alone make money from it, and I have no appetite for it.
You, on the other hand, have written three posts to respond to one of mine, and have included personal slights in each of them. That feels like a nerve got touched.
So, do you have the ambition to share your own views on politics and policies with the world? I have not come across this in videos yet (but watch them somewhat selectively). I have certainly seen it on the forum, and would prefer not to see it in your EEVblog videos. So the "please don't follow Adams' lead in your video channels" was a sincere request.

He enjoys doing it, isn't that enough?, what's your problem? Why berate someone for doing something they enjoy? He obviously doesn't need the money.
Those topics are literally what's in the news those days. He analyses the news, that's what he does.
And this might be a tad embaressing for you to find out, but he has said that doing these live streams literally saved his life.
He was on blood pressure medication, one of the side effects being that it made him suidical. Throw in a divorce, losing his step son due to drugs, and things weren't that great for him.
But he said that getting up every day and doing this live show was the thing that kept him going.

I've done poltics once or twice in my videos way back in the old days. Never since, it's not the place for it, obviously.
Follow me in Twitter if you want my political takes, I do them fairly often. I've even been "cancelled" for them.

I feel sorry for anyone that has had such problems. I am glad he has found a technique to deal with those problems. But I too have had problems to deal with - and so have most people; it is part of life.
While those problems may be the reason, it is neither a sufficient excuse nor a sufficient justification for publically
* using his audience as part of his therapy
* encouraging people to have views that many regard as being incorrect, divisive, and worse
