Is Dan’s quackery a bit?

I have a theory: we’re all falling for the bit. I think many of us forget that they’re full of shit like 70% of the time.

To those of you who say “why would Dan say something so idiotic” it’s because he’s a late-stage content creator— an engagement whore. His own company released an Oral History about how dreadful he is to work with. Why? Because we ate that shit up.

Shitting on Dan is perfect fodder for engagement, and Dan realizes this and leans into it. Maybe Valerie has convinced him to do some more holistic approaches, and he clearly has weird ideas about dieting. But they all play up and exaggerate aspects of their character for the show.

I choose to believe this because I refuse to believe that someone as smart as Dan that I’ve spent this much time listening to can be so idiotic. Yes, I realize that is a cope.
