This is an interesting theory about Owen influencing Vox. I don't know if it's true or not since I never watched Owen but it's a possibility.
I agree Vox brought up interesting content and even when he brought up Q he still had interesting content. My theory is he needed to be cool with the koolaid boomer crowd like Neon Revolt and Anonymous Cuckservative*. NR did sell a book and Vox runs a publishing company so one hand washes the other. That's probably why
As for outstanding comments I remember sometime in 2017 somebody stated Trump wasn't going to save us but whoever followed was going to be the strongman the left will be calling Nazi. I wish I could find it, whoever wrote that was way ahead of the curve.
*AC comes off to me as a boomer cuck who might be tech savvy but the cuck remains a cuck at heart. I find it hilarious whenever somebody succinctly points out flaws in some of his more crazier theories he doubles down with 500+ word responses.
Although this rarely comes up nowadays in Vox's writing, he rejects the Trinity. It's probably not surprising that somebody who threw out orthodox Christology is quick to overlook the dodgy theological qualifications of his associates.
I think the dumbest thing I heard him say was "You don't want to mess with someone who OTHER PEOPLE call the Supreme Dark Lord."

I dont think hes gotten dumber, I mean as smart as he is, hes also technically a grifter as evident with how he bandwagoned on various movements like the manosphere, gamergate, MAGA, comicsgate, and Qtards/Beartards.
He knows Owen is a buffoon, but he stays loyal to him for the grift. I recommend looking into Davey Crockos expose of him, he completely pants him by exposing the whole Unauthorized TV project as nothing more than a alt tech front for fleecing more money out of bears.

I think Vox Day is/was looking to start his own cult movement. If you notice cult leaders tend to have manic tendencies and are abusive like this to their followers. It isn't just egomania. There's a lot of sad lost individuals in American society these days. It's not hard to cast a net and scoop up lots of lost souls to join in some mindless crusade.
Alpha for making the comment.
Gamma for remembering one of your posts from 2017.
(Yes, I know I am gamma for bringing this to your attention. But this is not something I want to do. I HAVE to.)

Five out of five stars. More niche Vox Day humor like this that no one I know IRL will ever understand please, guys.
Then there's the Patreon extortion attempt/legal fiasco, where he roped Owen and 72 of his "bears" into trying to get 3.5 million under the guise of "free speech" and now they're stuck taking the fall. Vox is a conman and a Nigerian 419 level scammer.
Online cults don't have to worry about mask and distancing mandates too.

I usually only skim posts on Vox's blog once in a while now, so I didn't follow the Patreon thing very closely. Did "the bears" actually get stuck with legal fees or something like that?

How did they take the fall?

A quick google search shows Patreon is sueing 72 of his fans.
However its the only link I can find about it as well. Also it was updated about 5 days ago.

Alt-right comedian asked his fans to sue Patreon. It backfired
Alt-right comedian Owen Benjamin convinced fans to file claims against Patreon for banning him. Then Patreon filed a lawsuit against his fans.

That article doesn't say that they're on the hook.

Was it Vox or Owen that duped them into it? Owen was never my cup of tea, but I heard that he conned the Bears into buying his new land in Idaho saying that they could come use it or something. Again, this is all second hand so I don't know what validity it has.

Are you trolling me or did you just not read it beyond the first paragraph?
Via the article:
"Now Patreon is suing 72 of his fans.
"This lawsuit is about keeping hate speech off of Patreon," the company told the Daily Dot via email. "We won’t allow former users to extort Patreon, and are moving these frivolous claims to court where they belong."
Unlike the prior claims, the suit against Benjamin's fans is filed in California state court.
Patreon's previous terms of service required claims to be submitted to arbitration, like Benjamin's $3.5 million cause of action. An update to its terms of service that went into effect on Jan. 1 both prohibits users from filing claims based on the platform kicking off someone else and requires any who do so to pay the company's attorney's fees and costs, court documents state.
Benjamin's fans' claims against Patreon were filed on Jan. 6, according to court documents.
Thus, if Patreon wins the suit, Benjamin's fans could be on the hook for a significant sum, which may negatively impact their ability to chip in for the $1.5 million ranch in northern Idaho that he's lately been begging for cash to buy for himself."

No, not trolling. Possibly a mistake on my part. Doesn't the update clarify that they are no longer being sued?

I don't remember specific posts I've made, only opinions that I've held and that might have been me because the post describes an opinion I've had for a long time.
