That's what's so fascinating. By all rights he should have self destructed long ago.
He can make himself the laughing stock of Twitter several times over and still be treated like an authority.
He's rude and incompetent on podcasts, and the gigs keep coming.
He gives incoherent speeches to empty rooms. Still doing those.
He burns through hundreds of thousands of dollars, and the Frank bucks keep flowing in.
Most lolcows getting this much attention can be figured out. They've got *something*, be it influence, charisma, or even just a pair of tits. That Wu can be such a genuinely vile person, provide nothing of value, and still be trucking along; it's the mystery novel that never ends.
