I’ve always been a little put off by him and he comes across as a grifter. My partner has followed him on twitter for a long time and I’ve always told her to take him with a grain of salt. Now twitters blowing up again. Am I vindicated in my grift-radar?
He’s started a lot of things without what looks like real intent for them to succeed. There several examples you can easily find online, but the failed North Star news thing comes to mind - the only thing that stopped me from donating was that the payment system was so buggy. Don’t regret it in hindsight.
