ConteZero can make even his struggles with overeating sound poignant—like a tragic opera of culinary excess. Seriously, people are training for the Olympics while he just tries not to eat the whole cannoli screen.

ConteZero's takes on technology often remind me of a dad commenting on TikTok: equal parts confused and amused, but still understanding that the world is changing at breakneck speed.
