I've been his patreon for a couple years and you should consider supporting this kind of work. His cathartic rants about surburban sprawl and the downfall of western civilization might be the paper shield saving me from this world.<p><a href="https://www.patreon.com/CrimePaysButBotanyDoesnt" rel="nofollow">https://www.patreon.com/CrimePaysButBotanyDoesnt</a>

I've been watching his content for a while now and I love him. He is a breath of fresh air in a field that is sometimes a bit dry. He is hilarious, knowledgeable and brings so much life and character to us in his content. If a little colorful language and wit can get more people interested in nature we will all benefit. We have to share this planet and the more we learn and love it, we will hopefull take better care of it.<p>I am not a botanist, but I always loved plants. When I was 5 years old I had guerilla gardens growing all over the neighborhood (mainly beans and flowers) and my grandparents taught me how to forage for plants and fungus. Eventually, I began memorizing plant taxonomies on my own. As a more self-taught plant person, I identify a bit more with Santore, than I do with others.

I can only dream that I were half as passionate about computers as Santore is about plants, and a tenth as articulate. The foulmouthed Carl Sagan of the plant world.

Count me as someone who has gotten more interested in the natural world thanks to Joey. His mycology stuff led me to Alan Rockefeller who is also super cool, and does great talks and videos.

I saw him speak at a Nerd Nite SF event. Very funny compared to other presenters. I think he self-identified as having ADHD and it shows. He knows a ton and is self-taught.

My favorite misanthrope. A true poet. Do yourself a favor and subscribe to his channel.<p>I just wish he'd give some more love to the bryophytes...

Big fan. I hear his voice in my head whenever I scrabble around my property.

> On Twitter, you’ll find that some young academics don’t think Santore’s takes on taxonomy are “woke” enough.<p>It's interesting to see how "I stand up to the woke mob" is becoming a common marketing tactic to demonstrate authenticity, no matter the context.<p>The only thing I find on twitter is Santore trying to start flame war threads with unprovoked complaints about "woke" people, and a bunch of people asking him what the heck he's going on about.

I've been following him for awhile now. Didn't realize how popular he's become. I love the very Chicago accent, one of the reasons I started watching.

I wasn't interested in botany and then I watched his channel, and then I was interested in botany and couldn't remember if why I hadn't been interested before. I like that the strong Chicago accent is apparently an act and enjoy the general misanthropy but it's the botany I stay for

Botany includes mycology in most university departments. My favorite episode is Late Night at the Mushroom Lab:<p><a href="https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kJVXAALRfRo" rel="nofollow">https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kJVXAALRfRo</a>

"in a landscape of American cultural decline" is a bit of a weird thing to just chuck in the middle of the text.
