Old people scare the shit out of me.  And edarem up there is no exception.  This guy invented insanity.  That he looks like Doc Brown on acid only slightly helps his credibility.  edarem was an extremely prolific YouTuber up until a couple weeks ago, when it was discovered that he was a registered sex offender in Florida and South Carolina.  He’s since stopped uploading for what is probably fear of being persecuted or maybe investigated by his local authorities.

But really after all of that, what creeps me out the most about edarem (because to me he seems mostly harmless) is his cult-like following on YouTube, which has only gotten more intense since the discovery.  Look at the comments section of any of his videos or his channel and you’ll see post after post of blind adoration and support.  There are crazies calling for his head, but they’re few and far between.  What is it about a 70 year old guy who posts the most mundane and bizarre ponderings that makes thousands of people go just as batshit as him?
