    i dropped Mark Roper when he said he loves his Tesla and plans on buying another. I just can’t deal with Nazi fanboys.

    Renaissance Periodation. He kept suggesting to his viewers that we should check his facts against Chatgpt. His sex jokes got boring and repetitive.

    Mostly, i drop a youtuber when i get bored with their content.

        Theres something about JerryRigEverything that just makes me think that, one day, there will be news that breaks about him that will make Josef Fritzl look like a saint in comparison.

        Totally irrational, but I just cant shake that gut feeling.

          I’m still subbed, pretty sure he sold the cybertruck, but I get it.

          He’s a Mormon and that’s a huge red flag for me.

      He sketches me out every time I see him. He seems to be involved in every bogus YouTube humanitarian scam. I don’t trust that guy.

      Mark does rub me the wrong way. He’s just a very positive guy and clearly cares about being a good guy. But is way too buddy buddy with the big man.

        I get creeper vibes from him, always have. Something about the way he behaves around kids, as a dude who has gotta be in his 40s-50s at this point… Yeah it’s weird.

          I don’t get creeper vibes from him around kids, he seems like a good teacher. Where I get bad vibes are all his scams. The “golden ticket” he did in his science boxes just seemed like an illegal lottery. You cannkt have a giveaway where you must purchase somethong for entry, and idk how they would distribute winners to online submissions and golden tickets evenly

            See that’s the thing for me too. He had this creep factor I couldn’t put my finger on. Seems wholesome and just wants kids to learn. Put entertaining science videos out, collaborates with other channels, and has the occasional mischief video where he screws with scammers. But the ick is still there for some reason.

            Then he keeps shilling for Tesla knowing full well what that means and it becomes clear. You can have ick and be innocent of any crime. Some people just encode differently. But to have the ick and celebrate Tesla this late in the game…that combination always ends with missing kids under his backyard.

            Ok glad I’m not the only one.

            I don’t like putting that kind of thing into the ether, generally, especially when it’s based entirely on how they behave online.

            But still… I dunno maybe it’s just Peter Pan syndrome or whatever. Though I feel like it’s rare that people like that excel enough in science to work at NASA (while having an actual personality lol)
