I agree with him when he espouses a viewpoint which I am in line with.
I disagree with him when he espouses a viewpoint which I am not in line with.
It changes minute to minute, game to game. I don't really keep track of it and neither agreeing nor disagreeing with him detracts any from the humour of his critiques.

I don't watch them as reviews, I watch them to laugh at an angry man rip the shit out of games. I go elsewhere for actual reviews.
I don't consider them reviews. They are entertainment for me.
Sure, they can bring up good points, but all he really does is point out bad things in games.
This works for him because he can make it funny.
I occasionally disagree with things he says, but I take it in stride.
Saves me the trouble.

He does say that he exaggerates his views for comic effect on his videos, but some of his theories are dead on. Ie, his article on FPS's.
Never, considering I don't see them as reviews more like insult comedy.
There are some times that I do disagree with him, but I don't take it too seriously.

while his reviews are often as much comedy as they are actual critics
i often find that i agree much more with his EXTRA punctuation articles then i do with his reviews

Yahtzee usually talks about disadvantages of the games, not the advantages.
I always agree what he says. He doesn't simply mock or whine the games, I think he is trying to be fair, therefore I agree.

Yeah the poll options are a little extreme being in math form.
Generally speaking I think he's always been spot on with the things he finds as flaws in the game. But in all honesty I've liked some games he's hated and hated some games he's loved, so I don't really let his opinion dictate what I like AS I AM NOT A ROBOT. (click whirrr)
But I have always found his vids to be funny and accurate and full of cynicism which I appreciate.

If Yahtzee says a game is shit- it might be good
If Yahtzee says a game is great- it is.
I find his reviews useful in that sense.

I don't watch his reviews for his opinions, I watch them for the humour which normally derives from extreme nit picking, so most of the time I don't really agree but still find it funny. Having said that it's good when he's sarcastic, nit picking, vulgar and makes a precient point.
