This is a very weird thread that, honestly, OP should be embarrassed to have created. Very telling, in 2026 we have people asking this question when information is at their fingertips.

Now I'm just going to say it

I think it's a personal vendetta issue with the fact that Gabe's a billionaire, and you're a liberal or something.

I'm going with this theory.

More than everyone else having an irrational love of Gabe, you seem to have an irrational hatred of him. That's fine, no one is telling you how you should feel, but at the same time, you VASTLY overestimate how much we give a ***about how you feel.
Why don't you go start a irrational love-hate relationship with the screw of gabe's brand new yacht?
How do you feel about that?

Liberals don't hate all billionaires just the *** ones. They do want to tax all billionaires even the nicer ones.

Yeah - I didn't want to say hate or assume his political stance, but I've seen it before.

Don't want to delve into politics because people think that's an IQ test or something, but I do see the pattern of a certain group just assuming that billionaires are bad, shouldn't have that much wealth, and to amass that much money, you must've done so at the expense of others.

Politics factors in, but its more of a consumer problem. How many people are really willing to sacrifice something they enjoy (at least in part) to take a stand against something they don't?

Until large groups of people are willing to act together against something, you withholding your 12.95 means little and your complaints even less.

And trying to convince someone still getting value out of the thing you don't like to sacrifice their current enjoyment for an uncertain improvement sometime in the future is futile.

Something I have to learn anew every day.

Why would I pick him though? Aren't there plenty of billionaires who are worse people and more wealthy than him?
