His commenters mock him and call him a "Fence Sitter" for still being Left and holding that things like welfare just need reforms to properly work instead of going full Republican
I honestly think that in a way, he's naive in underestimating just how much crazy things can be with even trying to implement moderate reforms as things can somehow slide into crazy later on
It's rather entertaining to see how much he's been gradualy shifting to a more conservative/libertarian outlook on issues over time without really ever admitting as much to himself.
That being said, I really like him for his work, and he's probably one of the few non-right channels I do enjoy.

I think his views would still be combined with the whole "We still need some government intervention" sort of thing in a certain field even if it can go from Moderate to crazy

Oh, lovely. They've sent me a mo-ron.
Some dude in a beanie who kept popping up on the rec list. I chose to stick with him.
I watch him regularly. His political opinions align pretty well with mine, moderate centrism and respect toward individualism and "live and let live", with the enlightment as the central ideological ideal, which is barely represented in modern politics.

I keep expecting Realm or Ioseb to pop up here, either of them keeps going "Tim "The Liar" Pool" even when the guy outright shows the articles and news he's watching/reading and expressing his views on it
Leftists call everyone who don't toe the line "liars". This includes organizations such as Project Veritas and MEMRI who literally show clear video evidence for their claims (leftists or Islamists recorded saying terrible shit).

I think part of the reason they’re not here as much as before is because the evidence is way too blatant and even they can’t go around how “protestors” are severely violating COVID19 Quarantine Procedures and aren’t remotely concerned about stuff like maintaining social distancing anymore

I cite him as the catalyst for my decision to finally embrace being a leftist. For years, I was afraid of associating myself with the ever-increasing insanity of the regressive left, but Tim Pool made me realize that there are still sane leftists out there, and there is no shame being counted among them. In fact, he made me realize how important is was for people like us to stand firm and defend what leftism used to stand for, what we believe it should stand for.

I first ran into Tim Pool on the Rogan show, he seemed legit and unbiased as far as I can tell. Which, compared to the other media around at the moment, should have had him elevated to the level of a saint by this point.
He has a fair few journalistic virtues going for him as well. He often admits that he may be mistaken, is willing to admit that he is wrong, has a crazy work-ethic, covers stuff from all over the political spectrum, will call out anyone for their BS if he sees it.
If forced to critizise something about his work, I'd say I don't care for his unedited stream-of-thought style and how he rambles. Though he did recently explain that this was to show that everything was legitimate and uncut, I also think it has to do with how much content he puts out per day and the limitations that puts on his schedule.

He is who I would prefer my political enemies to be, for at least with him I could meet and make compromise with a clear conscience.
I am to the right of Pool, but I find him inoffensive and agree with him enough that I don't see him too far out of the field. Plus, the fact that I can disagree with him vehemently at times, yet still trust him, leads me to think he is a good source. Guy will tell it as he sees it, and try to report the truth.
I respect Tim Pool greatly though I disagree with him a lot. I consider him a must watch. Even if half the time I want to reach through the screen and choke him. I'm just waiting for the inevitable moment where he takes the Red Pill and or finally casts of the Democrats altogether. One or the other is going to happen and likely very soon. But in the meantime its like watching a slowly building pressure cooker building up.
Tim Pool is one of the few leftists who can comprehend right-wing meme-ing and the threat of the Boogaloo:
Even when I disagree with his positions, I find him pretty easy to listen to, unlike Krystal Ball from Rising, who can get pretty entitled/condescending.
That said, I think he might be going a little nuts under lockdown, because he literally wore the same fucking clothes for a week's worth of videos.

Tim pool is one of the few left wing youtubers i actually like.
It nice to see that atleast some left wingers can be reasonable people.

Tim Pool is the second coming of Christ if Jesus wore a sick beanie and was half Korean.
He must embrace both sides of his duality, and take to the roof tops and stop rioters with...his magic Jesus party powers*
