Because I watched him progress from a respected professor at Stanford to a self-promoter who sits on Twitter looking for mentions of his name, not that there's anything wrong with that. It's a personal experience for me, so it may not be generally true. I found his lecture on depression in the mid 2010's and it helped me a lot. By 2023, I mentioned on Twitter that I didn't buy his idea that we didn't have free will and a minute later he liked my tweet. I hope he's making good money with his no free will idea. He's out there promoting it enough.
