i think he's a better than average presenter for a youtube channel. I did like his huge bunker videos

my biggest annoyance is his plugging or advertising stuff too obviously



Obvious advertising is the most ethical kind.


Thank you for pointing this out so clearly, I'd not thought about it this way before but this makes perfect sense in a "best of the worst" kind of way.


I'll take his transparent advertising over "native" ads any day.


Agreed. I understand he has to pay the bills but there were one or two episodes of the bunker series that really felt like fluff to put in between ads.


Would rather have 5 episodes with a 5 min sponsor section than one 25 min episode about your way too expensive cooling mattress


Man has to pay bills


More like tithe it all to the LDS.


I wouldn’t expect more than 10%


I mean, without the advertising, he wouldn’t be able to make any videos. Quite honestly tired of people pulling out this argument like all content creators need to be altruistic trust fund kids.
