    Which of his videos do you think are overly sensationalised? You need to follow the whims of the algorithm to some degree to survive, but I think most of his videos are fine, maybe with a slightly clickbaity title or thumbnail, but that’s to be expected these days.

      A lot of them are just goofy and not really as educational as they used to be, in my opinion.

      I don’t support being click baity for the algorithm. For me it’s about the integrity. I won’t support it, not from the algorithm nor the creator(s).

      Only some creators that I’ve been with a long time that I know the content is good will I still stay subbed after they turn click baity.

          That may be. Still can’t stand the voice, so I’m nopeing out regardless. Seems to be a sensitive topic/unpopular opinion, this. lol

            It’s not a sensitive topic so much as it’s a little strange (at least to me) that anyone would avoid watching (what I think are) genuinely fascinating experiments (to me, a programmer, not a chemist or scientist) just because of the sound of someone’s voice.

            It’s understandable because folks have their own issues with things that get on their nerves. I just think it’s a little unfortunate because he’s got some great videos but to each thier own. I know that as a programmer, I can’t stand the style some other programmers have in their youtube videos so the same could be said about me - too bad since I am probably missing out on some good content but if you can’t enjoy the format, you can’t enjoy the content.

              Yeah I mean I fully agree, I might be missing out, but at the same time it’s just entertainment in the end. I need to be enjoying it. Anything he puts out, I’m not gonna be utilizing in my daily life, so it’s not like it’s essential that I watch. Hasn’t been so far, probably won’t be in the future. So yeah, if I don’t enjoy it, for whatever reason, I should stop watching. 🤷‍♂️ Pretty simple.

              People might not agree with the voice but it’s my personal gripe I guess.
