    Pretty easy to dissect this guy's issue. All you have to do is be even tangentially familiar with his writing and then watch one video featuring his actual face and voice. Your reaction will be automatic: "this dildo is Maddox?" And then you will tune him and everything else he's ever done out, just like everyone else.

    Except you might go back and read the bit about children's art sucking, from time to time. A guilty pleasure. Just try not to remember his face and voice. Instant regret.

    Like Epic Meal Time, David Thorne, Emails from an Asshole and other such youtube channels/websites who's names now fail me, I think Maddox/Best Page On The Internet was of its time. I did used to love reading Maddox but there's only so long you can do such humour and stay relevant/interesting. After a while it is just repeating itself and gets stale.
