Scott Alexander

Scott Adams, 210,000.

Ross Duthar, 85,000.

80,000 Hours, 55,000.

Tyler Cohen, 5,000.

Footnote, this is probably unfairly low because it has its own website and doesn't rely on YouTube subscriptions.

YouTube subscriptions are a lossy metric, and I'm just trying to get an order of magnitude estimate.

Back to the text.

So I conclude that yes, Adams' podcast was a bigger deal than I thought.

Joel Pollack writes, quote, "...the post is snarky and factually inaccurate in places.

Not unsympathetic, but clearly put off by Scott's political views.

In some places it reads as an attack."

It also gets one of Scott's best predictions wrong, about hunting, in quotes.

Enjoyed parts, disliked others.

End quote.

Scott writes, Pollock was a friend of Adams and is working on his biography, so he's an expert and I take his opinion seriously.

I asked him what he meant on Twitter, but haven't gotten a response.

I'll add it once I get one, but for now, let me defend my previous interpretation here and see what he thinks.

The hunting prediction is a reference to the following.

Here's a Twitter post from July 1, 2020, Scott Adams.

If Biden is elected, there's a good chance you will be dead within the year.
