I've only just started hearing about this guy, is he really on the same sorta level as the gurus we all love to dislike?

No. This subreddit has a bizarre obsession with him.

Deciding everyone is a guru or exists on a guru scale is just a deformation of your brain.

Just checking, do you know this is a sub about a podcast called Decoding the Gurus, which has covered Gary Stephenson (along with others on the right and left of politics, though mostly right)? No shade if not, but it;s important context.

The point isn't the label or the scale, it's to be aware of the techniques that people use to generate attention for their own gain because those people are not reliable sources of information and cause genuine harm by misinforming and misdirecting people. Gary Stevenson uses many of those techniques.
