      I haven’t really looked at his content in a good while. He seems to have gotten more confident in front of the camera. Some of his earlier stuff felt quite awkward at times, IMHO.

        He’s hit his stride. And the content is really good, if a bit longer winded than I’d like.

          As a Kiwi, I always find his accent just a little jarring - too close to sound like normal internet, too far to sound like everyone I know IRL.

          But he is getting much better at delivering content.

            Interesting! As an ESL speaker, I actually didn’t notice his accent at all. I always assumed he was an American lol

            He’s a kiwi? A had no idea. Mainly because I can understand him (English isn’t my first language and your accent is bloody hard).

                I am starting to able to tell the accents apart, but just barely. So… 🤷‍♂️

                    Sometimes yes, often not. But I can tell apart Brits, Oceanian, American, African and Indian most of the time. I have a hard time telling apart Scots and Irish, mainly because I can’t understand a thing they say at all.
