I'm not up-to-date on all things Thiel, but a rudimentary search on him doesn't bring up anything noteworthingly heinous.
I believe it's just a classic case of mixing literal and connotative meanings of phrases. The poster does not mean Peter Thiel is inherently an unlikeable person, but that the poster himself believes Peter Thiel to be an unlikeable person, i.e "I don't like Peter Thiel."

- KGIII 9y agoI have no idea about the veracity, but I have read a number of comments that state he likes to inject the blood of young people because he believes it will help prevent aging. Now, that sounds insane and unlikely. However, I've seen it mentioned a number of times. I guess the claim is that it is from an interview. I'm unwilling to invest more time to look into it. I don't actually care and I'm not sure why, if true, it would make him a bad person. I have to assume it'd be voluntary, if true. To be clear, it sounds rather unlikely. I share more to show what folks are saying, than to pass any judgement in his character.

- stagbeetle 9y agoIt's better than no response at all. I was able to find two vanity fair pieces on the topic, if only because I had a better place to start: "Thiel blood boy"
