Oh for sure. One of my kids favorite personalities is Mark Rober, who I also mostly approve of. It's just tough when he does collabs with people who I think are shallow and devoid of content, like Unspeakable. He strikes me as the type of channel who would be a stepping stone to mens rights/incel and then Joe Rogan.

Mark Rober sold out to a content company a couple of years ago, that's why. Before that he used to be an actually good engineering channel. These days it is mostly just sponsored slop.

The closest alternative I can recommend is Stuff Made Here.
