Is turd vs shit really that much of an improvement?

If that's how you see the dichotomy, no, but since I wouldn't even remotely classify him as either, that's not really a no-win scenario.

To be frank, if I have to get my video game news from somewhere, I find him preferable to most of the alternatives. And he does have a tendency to address issues that a) really, really need to be addressed and b) that most other sites won't touch because they don't want to risk their big studio connections (and free review copies). I can put up with disagreeing with him about the occasional social justice issue every dozen videos or so in that scenario.

And honestly, I think a lot of people who dislike him only hate him because of the arrogant egotist persona he puts on... but that's sort of the point. You're not supposed to take it seriously. It's like getting pissed off at RedLetterMedia because Mike made the Plinkett persona a deranged misogynist serial killer. Or like liberals getting annoyed at Stephen Colbert on The Colbert Report when his entire gimmick was essentially mocking the personality he was portraying.
