    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.

        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.
