Just as the most glaring example, he offhandedly mentions his staff is "not very good" because its item level is 30 lower that his character level and that he "should find a better staff, y'know, over 30 levels". There is a grand total of 1 staff with better damage per second than Elon's on the trading website (where most players "find" better items, because creating them with crafting orbs is a matter of being rich and lucky, and finding them on the floor is a matter of being go-play-the-lottery lucky). 5 total quarterstaffs in the same ballpark of damage.

He then hovers over his Hands of Wisdom and Action (a unique item, the modifiers of which are unaffected by item level at all) and similarly dismisses it for its item level (even though it's an item likely crucial to his build).

If he had concerned himself even briefly with the gear system of PoE2, he would know that. It goes beyond glossing over the complexities of the game "for the laymen watching", the man playing the game on stream straight-up is not aware of what makes his decked-out character good.
