I think he's pandering to some audience that isn't overlapping a lot with hacker news. I don't know who it is. Probably it's some caricature of blue collar worker that exists only in his mind. His superfans will like it.

#12Yeah, and ‘un-American’, too. Like Linux, as someone else said. I can’t stand this dude.
I, too, can’t stand the guy. It seems he speaks without weighing the benefits and cons of things. It’s like pure id with no brains is speaking.

I don't think that's a very fair reason to disregard what a person is saying.
But someone how says "like" repeatedly telegraphs confused thinking. Normally I hear that from teenagers, who have the excuse of youth.
