I do not think about Bill Maher.
insufferable
20 years ago I thought he was a sharp, funny, iconoclast. These days, I think he just says stupid outrageous shit to provoke a reaction. He’s like human clickbait.
Same… but like 10 years ago for me
This is second hand info, but everyone I know who has ever worked for him basically hates him. He’s a raging asshole, difficult to work with, and just a horrible human being on a personal level. I’ve never met him myself, but the people I’m referring to are all pretty awesome, wholesome people so I do trust their judgment.
Never really cared for him and barely paid any attention to him throughout the years. He just seems like a prick.
I don’t, and now I’m annoyed you made me remember he exists.
He’s a self-righteous asshole.
People who don’t believe in germ theory shouldn’t be listened to

I read the whole thread shocked that so many people hate Bill Nye Science Guy, then I re read the title.
Yeah he’s an antivaxx douche
I started to watch him as he never pulled punches and picked some great match ups of guests and hot topics.
I stopped because his insufferable ego kept compelling him to continuously talk over everyone with his non-stop opinionated smug. Once I noticed I was just watching one man listening to the sound of his own voice while guests that I wanted to hear from get repeatedly cut off at every third word by his desire to manufacture Jerry Springer type drama, I realised how punchable I truely found him to be.
Classic Boomer, funny sometimes and he gets good guests.

I watch his show every week, and though I don’t always agree with him, I do appreciate some media trying to have honest and open conversations about things, versus just each side yelling at each other side type of conversations.
Having said that, he seems pretty myopic about the whole Israeli-Palestinian-Hamas thing going on right now. (But then again, there seems to be a concerted effort being pushed on multiple media outlets like CNN as well right now.)
Also sometimes he gets a little bit into a ‘yelling at the clouds to get off his lawn’ mode.
But overall, he really tries to get honest conversation going between parties on all sides. I enjoy watching the show every week, including the extra part that is on YouTube afterwards.
Opinion solicited and provided, and people are downvoting you. Dumb.
Personally, he started talking more and more shit about millennials and taking positions I didn’t agree with. And when I’m listening to debate that’s shit take vs shit take… well, I’m not… so I stopped watching

Yeah, I get that allot. :/

I was kind of referring to that with my “yelling at clouds to get off his lawn” comment.
I’ve always figured listening to other perspectives from other gens than their own is a good thing, but some people do not.

There’s definately good show episodes, and some that are not so good. There was one a few weeks ago that was fantastic, and another one right around the same time that was crap. Its hit-or-miss.
