Honestly though, it does point out how stupid rage-baiting is. This guy genuinely thinks that they must care about his opinion and when they ignore him for being a weird little tit he spends a whole lot of effort to try to say that that’s proof that their thing isn’t real. For one it’s trying to prove a negative, and two it’s just such a weird, self-absorbed thing to do.

Chasing hate from others is such a weird thing to do. I don’t think magic is real but I’d still rather be friends with some random person who thinks it is than be anywhere near this fuckin’ douchebag.

I'm not defending the guy here (he does seem like a douchebag) but I think I'd rather hang out with a skeptic than someone dumb enough to believe crystals have healing energies.

Plus, the videos exist because the witches didn't ignore him. No shortage of magic-believers in the replies.

None of this is newsworthy but I'm cringing harder at the angry replies than the fact that he's rage baiting

The witches’ personalities are built on nonsense, sure, but I’d rather that than a person whose personality seems to be enjoying increasing hateful energy. It reads as someone who says that any and all criticism is “just people being haters”. I wouldn’t want to hang out with any of these people but I’m standing by my position that trolls are just pathetic, negatively impactful people.

He's having a laugh. They're the ones bringing "hateful energy" into the world... And it's not like he's the first one they've angrily hexed

Eroding your critical thinking to the point where your think magic is real can be damaging. I see this man as doing a public service no different than flat earth debunking. People need to understand BS when they see it and this guy is helping.
