I was wrong. I finally finished this and it’s phenomenal. Lex didn’t shut anything down and was enthusiastic about the material. I was biased because the last time I checked a related Lex video, it was James Holland, a British WW2 guy and the comments were praising him as a “real historian”, which at the time, can be inferred to mean contempt for Darryl Cooper and his criticisms of Churchill.

I assumed Lex and his audience were just Redditors, but if you look at the comments here, it’s mostly high praise for Scott. This is the greatest podcast I’ve ever seen, a superhuman performance by Scott, who has an unrivaled ability to remember names, dates, events, articles, and quotes. The western world would be a much better place if everyone watched this. Scott is a living legend.
