Allen Pan gets on my nerves. He's a science shitposter which is great as I love that content generally. I just don't like his personality and mannerisms. When he's nervous especially he puts on a strange act. Really apparent if he's part of a stage show like I saw recently with Open Sauce 2025. He's otherwise perfectly fine.

Neil deGrasse Tyson for similar reasons.

There is the most annoying TikTok ad with NDT in heavy rotation on YouTube right now.

I liked NDT when I was younger, but he's really made being the smug "Um, actually" science guy his whole personality. Plus he sorta crowned himself Sagan's successor.

Back in college a couple of my friends in the physics club got to have dinner with him after he gave a talk, and they confirmed that he really is that pretentious and self-centered.
