Does anybody else find Tom Scott annoying?

I love channels that deep-dive into the details of things, etc. But I’ve always found Tom to be so smug and patronising.

Is it just me?

He’s just very British, I think. IIRC, he also plays a bit of a character inspired by BBC reporters of his youth on camera.

If you listen to him in a context other than his main channel (I love his Lateral podcast) he doesn’t come off as smug at all really.

He’s definitely a bit of a dork but it’s not annoying

I don’t at all. He’s like a little kid when he gets to watch the maglev train in Japan

I couldn’t stand his Tesla/SpaceX obsession but for the past few months he seems to have let go of it
