Para social relationships are hard. You think you get to know someone over the years watching their videos. I would even watch the videos he would put on his daughter’s channel. The videos of him just cooking.
I thought he was a smart guy even with some of his gruff persona.
Oddly enough, one of the first cracks in that facade was a BOLTR video taking apart a Hitachi wand or knockoff. He was so weirdly prudish about the idea of a woman actually using one in a way that didn’t feel like a joke. But I convinced myself it was probably a joke, because…why would he be weird about that?
But the trucker protest videos hit me like a cement truck. It actually really bummed me out. I texted my dad and he said something to the effect of, “Oh well, his videos have been shit anyway.”
I first stumbled on him via his cooking videos (the one where he cooks breakfast for dinner at the request of his daughter), stayed for the interesting technical/fabrication videos.
And then COVID happened and it’s like half his brain shut off.
He had racist and anti trans jokes in all his videos. I wrote them off as just innocent friendly jokes for a while, but they were in ALL his videos. I unsubbed and blocked him after I realized it was a pattern with him.
I didn’t watch him regularly enough to pick up on a pattern at the time. The one trans joke I do remember sounded more like he was making fun of himself for not being able to keep up. More of a yellow flag then a red flag for me.
AvE. A 3 minute video supporting the truckers “protest” gets a hard NO from me.
He’s why I had to install 3rd party channel blocker because yt kept recommending his videos.
That completely caught me off guard and I was super disappointed.
