He got poor too, he says... "How Crypto Made Me Poor... my biggest mistakes.": https://youtu.be/5A67U1M80tw And if you are getting Crypto advice from an humoristic channel on YouTube well...
Oh, he only scammed them sarcastically? Well then, don't see a problem in that case. https://youtu.be/pLrRt8R9zRA
haha I saw 'Tech Lead' and was wondering if it is the 'TechLead' guy from youtube -- yup sure is [ https://www.youtube.com/c/TechLead/videos ]. I used to watch his videos occasionally because I liked his dry humor and quirky takes. However his humor eventually got so dry that I am unable to tell what is a joke and what is real anymore. Looking back I think it is possible that everything on his youtube is made up. Lat…
I’ve gone off him after he started shilling crypto and especially after this incident. His dry humour before was mostly self-deprecating, which was funny, but I don’t find this kind of “punching down” humour funny, and it’s way too blatantly trolling/attention farming.

His humour is extremely dry. I suspect his videos about his ex-wife leaving him etc (quoted by many people recently as proof that he’s a failure or something) are actually trolling too.

The whole 'techlead' thing did always seem like a joke, he was definitely either making fun of himself, or making fun of the prestige of working for the big tech companies.
I haven't watched any of his recent videos but it seems like he has shifted focus to just making $$. Maybe he should have tried to hold onto a tech job :D

You see, that’s the thing with the far-right grift. It’s always like dealing with Schrödinger’s cat but for beliefs. But the answer to “Are they a deeply unpleasant person or are they just in it for the attention/money?” is always both. This isn’t new. Goebbels was quite open about the fact a lot of what he did was fundamentally in bad faith.
TechLead does not strike me as 'far-right'. He spent enough time in California working for Facebook and Google that I would be shocked if he is anything other than far to mid left.
A large number of people seem to have only recently discovered this chauvinist pig. His Twitter feed and YouTube channel are full of hot-takes, intended to shock and trigger people. He knows exactly what he's doing. He's just another Alex Jones or Joe Rogan. Getting you to share his posts and videos to demonstrate your outrage is his goal and many are falling for it, hook, line, and, sinker. If you take issue with wh…

That's not even remotely similar to Joe Rogan though? He has a podcast where he invites a wide variety of guests, and mostly lets them tell their stories without interruption or argument. Sometimes those guests say things people don't like, sometimes Joe himself says things people don't like (eg, alternative medicine for covid), but his controversies are because he's open-minded to a every perspective rather than int…
Do people have no more sense of humour? Is everybody here changing the world and providing a future to humanity a javascript framework at a time? This the Tech Lead! The one and only! The man has a sense of humour driest than the bottom of Death Valley. "Why I'm so good at coding.": https://youtu.be/xqgH9j3x2OE
The article contains multiple tweets where he doubles down and says even weirder stuff: > "No one asked for women programmers. We asked for women influencers and instead got 'independent women' in pants suits. Independence does not exist if you want a family. A woman should prioritize being a good mother and wife, not a coding machine. 'Mother/Wife' is a great job," How do literally multiple paragraphs of misogynisti…
None of those statements are literal. He does not believe those things. Nobody does. Those statements are jokes because they are absurd, unexpected and ironic.
This is equivalent to somebody writing that "birds aren't real" and people laughing, and you getting upset because birds are real. The absurdity is the humor.
Does that help explain it?
In the real world though, it's the resumes of men which get trashed. It's open and quite legal, with the Orwellian name of affirmative action.
It's also very mainstream, to the extent that a major Canadian university put it explicitly in their announcement for a tenure track position that men need not apply. [1]

How do you know this isn’t his opinion?
