What happened to Adam Conover? I used to actually like his content. I probably agree with his message, but IDK because I only managed to get 2m45 into the video by skipping and playing double speed, and I'm not watching the rest.

I don't remember him being so loud and aggressive. What the fuck's up with the poop jokes?

He does longer format (i.e. 1+ hour) where there's much less animated energy but still lots of cursing. Some of them are interesting (because of the guests), but he's too full of himself and comes off as unlikable

Seems many on YouTube now has this over-boisterous very fake broadcaster voice. I did watch the whole thing, but my wife and I had the same reaction. Good message mostly, but tough to listen to.

Can't forget the thumbnails... YouTube tells it drives engagement ... From who?

Middle schoolers?
