    I only found him just after his house burned down and didn’t like him that much back then.

    Now I like some of the videos on the second channel. I enjoy watching them because they are just completely random, you knever know what is going to happen next. It’s like ADHD as a video.

      My main problem is he’s not a stupid as he’s playing. He’s manufacturing problems in every episode to try to stay exciting. Oh I can’t get this ketchup machine to pack this copycat coke… Nobody asked you to find the sketchiest, hardest way to do that. Well we decided to upgrade the electric cart and take it to opensauce! You could have just bought a working drivetrain and controller for a little more, or got in league with an ev club. Manufactured sketch…

        He is not stupid, I think he just has ADHD which means his impulse control is not the best, like when he bought the medieval painting for way too much money.

        Of course he could make his life easier by doing those things but then there is no challenge and what’s the fun in that.

          That’s the story he’s shooting for. Look at me, I make bad decisions and get myself stuck down this rabbithole, here watch it on video!!! That sells. Every decision he makes for the camera is sketch to the point that it will likely fail without heroics. that’s not a happy youtube minting accident.

            I do think he does the arbitrary too soon deadline shtick way too often like a lazy automotive reality TV show would do. Doesn’t bug me enough to unsub but…

            What will get me upset is the more dangerous stupid shit he does like when he dug a pit in his sandy yard to fix something under a vehicle with no shoring. So he drove over an unprotected pit in a yard so sandy he can’t grow much of anything and then has the vehicle weight on the sides of the pit and it’s above his chest deep.

            Holy fuck. It’s also two safety negligent dudes living together. Backyard Scientist may as well be his twin from another mother.
