Has anyone seen this...?

The problem I have with Steve, is that he is a decent reviewer if I could read about it.

His voice is very grating, he's butt ugly and needed a haircut like 50 years ago.

Just can't stand to watch and listen to him...

I believe it takes a certain combination of personality traits to first create such a disorganized mess of a listening room and, second, the daily acceptance of such a room without succumbing to the notion that you may want to straighten things up a bit and put things in some kind of order just for your own relaxation and mental sanity.
I’m no Felix Unger, but just looking at his room causes me mental dissonance and a strong urge to straighten things up and transform it into at least some semblance of order, calmness and sanity.
But then I quickly let these feelings go, realizing that it’s his room, his mess, his problem and none of my business. I just hope I’m never invited over for a listen to anything since I know I’d have difficulty resisting the constant urge of putting that friggin dumpster fire mess of a room out.

His "system" strangely enough I can totally relate to. I have one looks just like it. In my kitchen. Third drawer down, below the silverware.

Lol!

I imagine if you were moving components and speakers in and out of your system constantly you might forego some of the anal retentive OCD traits that some embrace, too. I’m sure there is a lot of repositioning when critically listening. Since he lives in Brooklyn there is a fair amount of street noise that comes through. Sometimes it can be heard during his blogs. That would tend to explain why he is such a headphone enthusiast.
As far as his style, I think he does an excellent job of showing enthusiasm for the hobby and can be helpful in exposing people to aspects they may not be familiar with. Try to remember back to a time before you already knew everything. Steve does all right. He has nearly daily videos. That’s an awful lot of content. No one is making you watch it all.
And listening to a system over a mic, YouTube compression, and whatever system you’re using for playback has got to be useless. There are people targeting headphone listeners that use binaural rigs to record systems but I still think there are too many layers to discern the finer character of the sound that you might be wanting to experience.

     Don't misunderstand, I think a lot of us like Steve, his knowledge,quirkiness,podcasts and enthusiasm, at least I do. He reminds me of his fellow neurotic New Yorker, Woody Allen, and sometimes it's best if we don't know all the vast and painfully detailed repercussions of his neurosis.  A little reserve, discretion and mystery can often be preferable.
