    Techmoan. I used to be super into his content on old obscure stuff but it fell off a cliff for me a couple years ago. Instantly bored.

    AvE when he started getting right wing preachy. Guy had a winning formula and destroyed it.

    Electroboom. Similar to techmoan… Booooooring. I don’t care about the outlets in whatever country you are visiting this month.

    John Oliver. It’s too depressing to find out what levels of depravity and corruption the ruling class is up to. I can’t handle it anymore.

      I blocked AvE’s channel when he supported the anti-science, anti-Canadian, idiot trucker convoy circle jerk in Ottawa.

      Lol, totally agree about Techmoan, AvE and Electroboom. I hadn’t thought of why I’ve not watched them in forever but I think you hit the nail on the head.

      Colin Furze is another I think fits into this, when all his stuff was janky and sketchy as all hell, like a attaching a pulse jet hydroformed using a pressure washer to a bike, great, loved it. It was really like he just thought something would be fun and made it with the tools he had. But ever since he got a youtube series everything started getting less janky and more properly thought out. All the things were bizarre contrived contraptions that have no use and made using fancy CNC machines, expensive specialty parts and he even has time to make fancy decorations for it all now rather than looking janky by design. Or otherwise hes digging under his house again and I’m just not interested.

      In the same vein as AvE, SV Seeker. It was fascinating to watch some guy build a 72ft steel sailboat in his yard in Oklahoma, but he became such an asshole his YouTube channel got deleted.

      I thought the foreign electrical system content was interesting compared to electrobooms normal schtick. But I can still only handle a short amount of his content
