I enjoy watching his videos and have no problems with him. Tons of people pump their cards every day ("my card is totally undergraded" etc), he's just doing it with a larger audience.

Exactly. He brings people into the hobby. While I may not agree with all his views, there is no denying he is probably one of the most influential card personas in the last few years.

Why would anyone listen to him? What are his credentials? What's his track record? Or is it just the PT Barnum principle.

I can’t speak to that. But he does have 331k subscribers on YouTube so he must be doing something right.

I watched some of his content during the early days of the pandemic. They didn't resonate with me at all. The thing I remember most clearly was the $500/year pricing tool he was selling. Nice work if you can get it, I guess.

I formed an opinion of him rather quickly, then tuned him out more or less completely. Candidly, I'm surprised he's still part of the hobby.

Wilson knows the art of views and algorithms to use to grow his platform on social media outlets thus fueling money into the industry. I agree with you guys most of the comments about his content are pure puff but puff and fluff draws views and interest.
