20 years ago I thought he was a sharp, funny, iconoclast. These days, I think he just says stupid outrageous shit to provoke a reaction. He’s like human clickbait.

insufferable

This is second hand info, but everyone I know who has ever worked for him basically hates him. He’s a raging asshole, difficult to work with, and just a horrible human being on a personal level. I’ve never met him myself, but the people I’m referring to are all pretty awesome, wholesome people so I do trust their judgment.

Never really cared for him and barely paid any attention to him throughout the years. He just seems like a prick.

People who don’t believe in germ theory shouldn’t be listened to

I don’t, and now I’m annoyed you made me remember he exists.

I watch his show every week, and though I don’t always agree with him, I do appreciate some media trying to have honest and open conversations about things, versus just each side yelling at each other side type of conversations.

Having said that, he seems pretty myopic about the whole Israeli-Palestinian-Hamas thing going on right now. (But then again, there seems to be a concerted effort being pushed on multiple media outlets like CNN as well right now.)

Also sometimes he gets a little bit into a ‘yelling at the clouds to get off his lawn’ mode.

But overall, he really tries to get honest conversation going between parties on all sides. I enjoy watching the show every week, including the extra part that is on YouTube afterwards.

I am generally open to him and his views. I get tired of hearing things that only confirm my own worldview. While I agree with him sometimes, he is just as often challenging to me.

That said, I’ve been finding his whole recent “kids these days are awful” schtick really tiresome. It feels like an old man shaking a fist at the sky. I have lots to complain about Gen Zs and Millennials but I feel like he is really out of his depth. Every generation thinks their kids are awful.

But when he is on point, he is really on point.

I find his comedy to be more smug and condescending than humorous or clever.

Don’t really know anything else about him. Don’t care to either, he can live his life and I can live mine.

I started to watch him as he never pulled punches and picked some great match ups of guests and hot topics.

I stopped because his insufferable ego kept compelling him to continuously talk over everyone with his non-stop opinionated smug. Once I noticed I was just watching one man listening to the sound of his own voice while guests that I wanted to hear from get repeatedly cut off at every third word by his desire to manufacture Jerry Springer type drama, I realised how punchable I truely found him to be.

I read the whole thread shocked that so many people hate Bill Nye Science Guy, then I re read the title.

Yeah he’s an antivaxx douche

I think he and John Krasinski should have a contest to determine once and for all whose face looks more like a bowl of mashed potatoes.

Classic Boomer, funny sometimes and he gets good guests.

I quite like him and his show real time. Don’t always agree with him and he often has very insufferable guests on the show, but overall it’s way worth watching.
