Oh wow, it was not just some guy publishing fradulent papers in fradulent journals that nobody reads or cites. He had giant impact, was cited tens of thousands of times!
Eh it was not just that, weev obviously had evil intent. (I wonder what's up with him now, last time I read his blog, he was posting neo-nazi posts from Ukraine)
I hate the actual content he produces - the first time I watched it, I kept thinking it's a trailer because of all the cuts and I wondered, where is the actual video, when I realized no, I am watching the actual video - but I have to commend the grind.
He is trully obsessive about getting the most views, almost soullessly designing the perfect viral content, caring about every second. He literally starts with the thumbnail and title and only then works out the rest of the video!
I also like this 2 years old video of visiting his studio. This guy literally sleeps in his giant studio, everything is super optimized.
Of course the end result is entirely pointless. But still. I respect the grind.
(I also love when he "builds 1000 houses in Africa" or whatever, and he usually never even mentions the country or the place name. It's not that important. But at least he does some good, I guess.)
