I'm done watching his content. I've had cognitive dissonance about him for over a year now. I've consciously filed him as an immoral person but I've continued to watch his videos for their "value". When reading articles on my own is actually way quicker and healthier than listening to him regurgitate similar forms of shallow analysis. It goes in one ear and out the other until it's just noise. I can't even remember half of it.

Solid read.

It's been a horrifying and fascinating ride watching destiny go from gross sex pest wanna be eSports guy, to try hard streamer social climber, to blood sports and then the political shift.

Destiny had worse scandals than most successfully cancelled streamers well over a decade ago, yet streamers, YouTubers, and even politicians have happily got on board with him. You were one of them.

It has been a great litmus test of moral character and credability for online spaces, who gets on board and how long they last.

I hope this does end up leading to career end for him but I doubt it. Beyond that I wouldn't be surprised if this starts to go into a more explicit Scientology direction, with the "success" too, sadly. I have little hope for holding to account when he can provide much to people happy to ignore things for what is provided.

Good luck and good speed the path you walk and person you become.
