Why he might be annoying:

The year Craigslist expanded beyond the San Francisco Bay area (2000), he stepped aside as CEO: 'I realized that as a manager, I kind of suck.'
He was described by 'The Guardian' as 'so nerdy, he makes [Bill] Gates look like a flamboyant playboy.'
He took ballet and jazz dance classes to meet women only to suffer a hernia and end up in the hospital.

Why he might not be annoying:

He continues to reply to Craigslist customer service inquiries, particularly ones about spammers.
He gave $100 million to charities in 2020, making him the 17th most generous individual donor that year.
His philosophy is, 'Make a comfortable living, then make a difference.'
