His reputation preceded him so only masochistic beta males ever talked to him. Regular people would never approach Socrates and records of him being dunked on by other philosophers were conveniently lost to time

The ancient shitposts and commoners' opinions lost to time probably dunked on him on the regular. The average Greek at the time probably believed he was a pretentious douchebag.

There are writings critical of him that survived, like Aristophanes, it isn't exactly a mystery what people other than Plato said about him.
