    It’s interesting how different people interpret attitude in vastly different ways. Because where you (and others I’ve seen in other threads) find him smug and an asshole, I only ever found him to be extremely sincere and excited to learn and educate.

    Although, I’d love to know what channels you watch that cover similar topics! Wasting time on YouTube doesn’t feel as unproductive if the videos are educational…

      I wonder if it’s his accent that people perceive as snobby? And if the people who do perceive it so are American.

        The lad’s from Mansfield. I, a south coast southerner, hear his accent and think; “Ah, a man of The North, humble, salt of the earth kind of chap.”

        I don’t think snobby.

        I’m American and a) don’t equate an accent to a demeanor and b) I find Tom to be a joy.
