Is this his real response?
4chan is a place where anonymous people can post whatever they want with no account.
As they say on their own website - “only a fool would take anything posted here as fact.”
…I am beginning to realize that 2007 was 16 years ago. There’s a whole generation of people who were born after 4chan had its heyday. People who don’t even know what 4chan is.
So, uh, no. That’s not him. 4chan just does that stuff.
Hi, actual Tom Scott here
I can confirm that this 4chan post was indeed made by me and that the story of me making out with this guys girlfriend is also true. Chick had jugs like you wouldn’t believe it. Bitch as loser just sat there and cried. Anyway, I’m off to Poland to film a video about a really interesting public toilet they have there.
Tom Scott out.
PS: Matt Gray is also here with me.
Hi it’s me, Matt Grey. I also do youtube, sometimes.
Next video, he’s standing in a volcanic wasteland or something
“I’m here at what is widely considered to be the harshest, most inhospitable, shit hole of the planet. This volcano is irrelevant because I’m talking about…”
He pulls up a laptop and points it at the screen
“…4chan”
There is no way in hell he would ever post to 4chan.
He made a long weepy post on his site how he would never use Reddit of all places, and how embarrassed he would be if “real world people” ever thought he was on it. He is exactly as insufferable and self righteous as you can imagine.
The Tim Traveler is pretty good, I enjoy his videos more that Tom Scott’s.
It’s probably his response copied from someplace else. Notice the holidays bit that doesnt fit the context.
I don’t think it was Tom. That sentence starting with “While” is not a complete sentence, which is suspicious because Tom is very precise with his language and is a nerd about grammar (he has made videos about linguistics). There are also a few other questionable grammar choices like the comma after “though” (I think there should either be no comma, or a comma both before and after?) Also, the comma after “thanks and regards” either needs to be followed by an “and” or it should have been replaced by a period or exclamation point.
