        I’ve always wondered what his personal life is like. I really like that he tries to keep it separated – it’s professional – but still.

          He even said something on the lines of “This Tom Scott is a character. Based on the real one, but nonetheless.” I forget his exact wording, or which video it was in.

            Oh yeah, he did say that. I suppose it’s natural when there’s a side of you that you show to the public and a side that you show to your friends. It’s like how everyone acts sightly differently around their parents

            I think any successful, level headed host, actor, media personality has a character they play in public. Actually to expand on that most people that are successful and want to keep sane have a public character.

      It’s 4chan, of course it’s made up. That said who knows what Tom would do. We don’t know a thing about him outside of what he chooses to show on youtube. There have been enough scandals with celebs who seemed nice to show that we don’t know who people really are. Not saying he is an asshole, he could be perfectly nice, just that we don’t know.

      It’s probably fake but just because you’re seen some videos of a guy doesn’t mean you know what he’s like off camera.
