That name sounded familiar. This does seem to be the same Alexander Pope that CGPGrey stumbled across and strayed into the, apparently, well documented feud with Thomas Herne.
I don’t know, I never comment on YouTube. However, it doesn’t seem like he posts on YouTube at all anymore. I’m not certain, but I think he might have refocused on his podcast.
I’ve actually tried to befriend three random people on lemmy. Two of them initially went well and chatted with me on Element / Matrix for a while, then stopped responding. One of them never responded to my initial invitation to be friends.
I would love to make friends here based on my philosophical alignment and shared interests with a lot of posters I see, but if I’m objectionable, I don’t want my lemmy legacy to be a series of failed friend requests.

You referenced CGP Grey and posted a sanitized link.
I am prepared to be best friends.
Is CGP still doing that thing where you need to give him money for the privilege of leaving a comment?

So, all in all … Maybe?
He did this thing where he banned all comments from non-patrons. Gotta pay to comment now
I’m also in for being best friends
We should form a best friends group.
