Maybe it's taken him this long to kick the tires and develop an opinion from daily use. There's nothing wrong with that.

Sure but in the article he says that he hadn't even heard of it until some friends mentioned it "last month", which would have been March of 2024. Taking a few weeks to feel it out is one thing but to have not even know it existed until last month is wild.

We don't know what Cory does all day. We know he has a family, I think he has a kid, that means that he has responsibilities that don't involve blogging. For all we know, at the end of the day he curls up with a dead tree book and unplugs to relax. He might not be as online as his overall style might make him appear and we don't know what all circles of people he runs with, so it's entirely possible that he just heard about it.

He writes all day. He can't have time to listen to anyone with his volume of output :D

Writing also need vast amount research, which also involves a search engine, which at some point in time you begin to get fed up with spam, and maybe just may be, if you're actually smart as people think you are, you begin to look for an alternative.

but I also don't know what to tell people who believe everything they read on the internet.

Exactly, We don't know what he does all day and it's creepy you have this weird imagination going through. Like seriously? He probably could be checking the balance that kagi sent him for this post.

Why are people so obsessed with internet personalities just because they say "nice" things you like? This is what every one of them does.
