Yeah, he started out about 80% right and made a name for his predictions and insights on persuasion. I was a daily listener (though I always fast forwarded past the idiotic coffee drinking FFS.) He's now been so consistently wrong, for so long, on so many topics, across such a wide spectrum of left and right and everything in between, I never listen to him any more. On the rare occasion he pops up, it's not five minutes before he's saying something hilariously, unbelievably naive or credulous of the established deepstate narrative.
He's not any more gifted at critical thinking than the average educated American, despite his supercilious, smug attitude about it.
EDIT: As someone who has agreed with Scott on a number of things and found his reasoning solid, I wonder how much of agreeing with Scott equals being hypnotized, influenced, or persuaded by him, how much is confirmation bias, and what portion is just understanding and finding accord with someone.
Yes, him having 666k followers is a fucking coincidence. A month ago he had less and a month from now he'll likely have more. Everyone with over 666 followers has at some point had 666 followers. If they surpass 666k followers they'll have had the number twice (or 3 times if you count 66.6k in between), so on and so forth. It means quite literally nothing. I've numerous times seen YouTube likes or Reddit upvote counts be at 666 or upvoted/liked something myself only to realize that I was the 666th. I've also upvoted or liked posts on 665k (same for 66.5k) wondering if I'd be the one that pushes it up by one. A few times it did, I thought "ooh spooky", and then moved on as it means nothing.
Now if Joe Biden's Twitter account magically goes to 666 million (example, could be 666k, 666, etc.) followers and just sits there for months on end then you may have something, but until then it means nothing as thousands or even millions of people have had 666 as their follow count at some time or another (including Trump and many, many, many other patriots we trust).

Maybe someone "got" to him?
He has ~ 666 thousand followers?
👆 Hey! There's that number again. 😕
Something something coincidences. But hey it’s all a LARP right…right guys?! Lmao
I cannot wait for the end of this to roll around so we see how accurate we were and for humanity to finally start to heal from this.
