Can anyone explain to me why people think he's egocentric? As far as I can see he just wants to share things with a technical community rather than with a bunch of teenage beggars. If he was so egoistic he wouldn't be closing down everything that gives him attention, no?

I don't think he'd shy away from the description of having a big ego. His posts are full of teasing, gatekeeper'esque type antics.

Heck, he chose the Kanye song "I've Got a Big Ego," as the BG track for one of his recent videos.

He's made it so easy for jailbreakers, they don't respect how much time & work goes into doing what he does. It's that sense of entitlement that lends to him not feeling appreciated and shutting it down (for now).
