I feel like Shaun king posts get retweeted and shared because they're easier to find / more detailed, especially early on. The reason why I heard about this was because someone I follow (who also doesn't follow Shaun king) shared a shaun king post on their story.

So I try to separate people that re-share his stuff, from the guy himself

I'll be honest though, I don't know much of the controversy around Shaun King. I have heard people referencing issues like this but I didn't follow up properly

The dude just loves to grift. Starts projects, raises big money, then the project ends in disaster.
