      He created fake science experiments to sell products and slipped them into normal videos, like the video where he claimed wet wipes are flushable, then created a fake experiment “proving” they were flushable. He’s incredibly untrustworthy and also, not a scientist! He’s an art major or business, can’t remember which.

      Personally, I just don’t like the guy and his vibes. But I wouldn’t tell random people online to avoid him, he’s not that bad.

      There was also that self-driving car video which turned out to be really scummy.

      people are annoyed that he sold to a venture capital business

      but then not realizing that so far, their quality improved, while also releasing more videos

        i liked his older videos far more, so quality is definitely subjective. it was one guy’s channel about physics with specific vibe, now it is just general channel about everything, indistinguishable from all the other science channels…

        which is funny because that’s most established content on YT, whether you realize it or not.

          people still think that youtubers with 100k+ subs do all the work themselves

          Edit: sorry people, santa is also not real
