Yeah, you could easily make this up, and it doesn't feel like something Tom would do
Def doesn’t but he does also seem like a smooth mfer
I've always wondered what his personal life is like. I really like that he tries to keep it separated – it's professional – but still.
He even said something on the lines of "This Tom Scott is a character. Based on the real one, but nonetheless." I forget his exact wording, or which video it was in.
Oh yeah, he did say that. I suppose it's natural when there's a side of you that you show to the public and a side that you show to your friends. It's like how everyone acts sightly differently around their parents
I think any successful, level headed host, actor, media personality has a character they play in public. Actually to expand on that most people that are successful and want to keep sane have a public character.
I think it was in this video: https://piped.video/watch?v=UaGTFeibOEk
Timestamp?
Oh is that one of the really meta videos?
Hmm, no not that one. Tho it is a good video and says the same kind of thing :)
He is literally the poster child for software eng motherfuckers, he's a nerd and goobs around 24/7, an absolute spaghetti dropper
The man could only ever smooth if he was with someone who likes what he embodies (which is a fair bit of the population tbh!)
But on the standardized smooth scale, Imma go on a limb and say that that man has no chance of pulling at the local salsa club

It's 4chan, of course it's made up. That said who knows what Tom would do. We don't know a thing about him outside of what he chooses to show on youtube. There have been enough scandals with celebs who seemed nice to show that we don't know who people really are. Not saying he is an asshole, he could be perfectly nice, just that we don't know.
It's probably fake but just because you're seen some videos of a guy doesn't mean you know what he's like off camera.
