If you weren't a huge fan of him before or whatever, obviously that's fine — he has a very specific style and it's not for everyone. But he's ultimately a champion of progressive movements, and he very clearly owned this mistake, apologized, and did not accept money even though he actually produced and released the video he was asked for. The action itself was obviously bad and world is clearly an unhinged crypto grift, but it doesn't really change my perspective about Conover at all.

Not really asking you and more asking aloud, is there any solid evidence in how much negative press or actions a "personality"/celebrity is able to get away with before losing credibility or viewership with their base?
A feeling of mine is that the more liberal someone is, the easier it is to see a celebrity make a mistake and people stop supporting and listening to them. Comparing that to what,again I myself feel is the case, that a more conservative celebrity will "get away" with a whole lot more before they are shunned or kicked out.

But then I saw a clip of him talking to Joe Rogan on his podcast, and it seems like that actually is just what hes like.
It's frustrating because he's got this arrogant smugness to him (which I hate in people), but he's also quite often right, genuinely funny, and well-intentioned. I enjoy him best in small...
It's frustrating because he's got this arrogant smugness to him (which I hate in people), but he's also quite often right, genuinely funny, and well-intentioned. I enjoy him best in small doses...little appearances in Dropout stuff and random eps of Adam Ruins Everything are perfect, but I don't know that I'd enjoy an entire stand up special.
I kind of agree. He’s only fun if you are smugly agreeing with him entirely. And when he has an opinion that is bad or even just slightly different than your own he becomes insufferable. His tour...

His tour was stopping at a local comedy club and my husband asked if I wanted to go see it. We passed.
Yeah I think I am done listening to Adam after he meatrode Worldcoin.

Like a lot of comedians, his character is an amplified version of himself.

I saw him in San Francisco with a date and we both found him very entertaining. Mostly I remember him talking about the perils of dating.
He did make an apology video for that.
