I think Billy will do well at trial, given how honest, humble, and totally not delusional he appears.

Billy seems fairly litigious. He even sued some guy in New Zealand for comments in a YouTube video about these matters: https://youtu.be/DNSJX1a2weo

How does this guy selling hot sauce have enough money to file lawsuits in foreign countries?

Did he win? Or was this just empty bravado.

He sells hot sauce that's carried by major stores, owns restaurants and who knows what he has made from gaming. He streams on Twitch and puts up some ridiculous Donkey Kong scores even if they aren't close to the current world record. He is still pretty popular in some circles. His restaurant isn't too far from my house and he makes regular appearances there so I assume he lives around here too. Cost of living isn't too high. He's probably doing alright.

Ha! Might want to explicitly indicate sarcasm; even here on HN people might think you're serious!

I think it was a /s. My sarcasm detector is broken..

Whenever somebody compliments someone you don't know as appearing totally not delusional, it's going to be an /s.

I've encountered counterexamples, but they were more ha-ha-only-serious than first-order sincere.

Oooo, a sarcasm detector, that's real useful!

I dont know the person. Is this sarcasm?

Yes

I think Billy will fare poorly at trial, given how dishonest, arrogant, and delusional he appears.

Sarcasm is a cathartic way to vent, especially when spoken with intionation between friends, but it causes confusion in short-form published text. I suggest editing comments after writing them and before submitting.
