He's just a shameless clickbaiter who floods YouTube with garbage content. The bolded is cross-promotion for his videos.

Have you ever read a blog post that, within the post, will link to four or five other posts from the same blog? 

Same basic idea here. 

As one of his viewers, I wouldn't know about that. True, you said majority, and I can't speak for the majority, but I generally just take his videos as fun, overanalytical deep dives into video games utilizing loads of actual math and science that the developers clearly never intended to be considered. My room mate, who is also a viewer, takes them even less seriously.

Sometimes he makes some genuinely great points. Sometimes he comes to an interesting conclusion that doesn't really hold up to scrutiny, but is still interesting nonetheless (LINK IS DEAD IN MAJORA), and sometimes he is clearly just having fun applying some dark real world logic to a colorful all-ages kart racer.

This stuff does not come from "hatred". For the most part, he talks about what he loves. That he's done so many videos on Mario means that he's played hundreds of hours of Mario, spent hundreds of hours thinking about Mario, and that's because he LOVES Mario. 

A lot can be said about his videos. They are certainly punneriffic and silly, and I'm sure that can annoy some people. They also are certainly designed to seek attention, which isn't really a criticism since that's the whole point of putting a monetized video on YouTube: you can't exactly build a viewership if you don't make videos that will bring in viewers.

But they also bring an interesting new view to many video games. The physics of the Bioshock games, the sociology of GTAV, and of course the piecing together of lore of games that, at first glance, have little story, like Dark Souls.

So....is MatPat a hater? No. Like I said earlier, if he hated Mario, there would just be no videos about his world. At worst, he overthinks games, and likes to apply adult concepts to the child friendly ones. And I don't get why something like that would insult anyone, let alone make him a hater.

Because they can tell humour and parody from defamation! And Ninty is a master of wacky humour, so it can definitely appreciate it in others.

I often pretend to take Pachter words as gospel and I call him Teh Analyst God, just for the lulz of seeing his haters getting even madder than they already get each time he says anything.   

Theory. It's all for fun. He basically picks things apart more than he needs to looking and things and sometimes making huge assumptions. I remember one video (can't remember which, think it was a film theory one) where he added an extra bit of info to fit the theory and that was why he concluded what he did. But it's entertainment so...

Their quality has slumped of late though. Too much time doing Live stuff and using his new found wealth to travel the world and do things I have no interest in. Just make Theory videos, dude.

EDIT: Oh, I remember now, Elsa and Rapunzel are related, his theory that they were sisters was basically because they both have magical powers. That's it. Basically half-arsed click bait.

Really? I never heard about this guy, but that's something Zero Punctuation said years ago in a review of a Mario game. It took him about 20 seconds to make that point and it was a fun idea to think about for that same amount of time.

He's just having some fun, ppl in this thread need to chill out
