I think it depends on what you classify as "fans" for example you have the tattoo extremist who takes Yahtzee's videos as law and the "I check his videos every once in awhile" fan.
Being the latter I can say its never fun to look at the comments section for his stuff, and I just dont like him as a reviewers, to put it bluntly hes horrible at real reviews, but hes amazing at making them hilarious and great fun to watch, with tid-bits of half truths and loads of over exaggeration.
still hes a good performer and I respect that, though i wouldnt be surprised if he really was a jerk -_-, I mean he himself says fans are just annoying, so at least hes being consistent
