I despise him. He says some true and original things, but in contrast to the calm Socratic tradition of philosophy he comes off like a ranting talkback host. A brilliant one, but one not right in the head and one who encourages his listeners' worst instincts. By and large I think he has had quite a damaging effect on the world.

>!The colors of the Rainbow are: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet. And each of those seven initial letters only appear once in the whole puzzle: R, O, Y, G, B, I, V. And if you join those seven letters in the puzzle they make an arrow which points to the diagonal solution to the Color Puzzle: TEAL.!<

My great-uncle spent years building up an alphabetized exercise book with every answer that appeared in his favourite daily crossword (it was a very repetitive puzzle.) And then every day he would look up every clue in his book and fill in the answer.
Do you approve or disapprove?

It's not astroturfing. It's just a very popular book among the Reddit demographic. (I read it the week it came out and loved it.)
It's like The Count of Monte Cristo, which also generates a lot of posts. Monte Cristo is a good demonstration of how just because there is a lot of posts, doesn't mean it's astroturfing.
