    EEVBlog. The guy is a brilliant electrical engineer but his arrogance prevents him from realizing that his electrical engineering intelligence doesn’t translate to other unrelated subjects. I tuned into a live-stream of his once and he started to discuss international geopolitics. His views were ill-informed and half-baked at best. When a couple of viewers (not including myself) simply requested he change subjects, he became indignant and started telling people not to tell him what to do on his own YouTube channel. He eventually told his viewers to leave if they don’t like what he had to say. So I did. I have not watched one of his videos since. I did watch Adam Something’s witty rebuttal to his video that reviewed and criticized one Adam Something’s videos.

        Adam Something is pretty good. Sometimes he gets finer details wrong, but overall, he’s worth watching.

      Absolutely this. AvE had exactly the same thing happen but Canadian and with tools. Now they’re both just too political for me to put up with sticking around for the technical stuff.

      I’m not Australian and I’m not Canadian, so if I’m watching a technical video why do I need to know their political opinions?

        Oh god i watched that guy for quite a bit and he always made weird remarks about things he doesn’t like in a weird way and conspiracy theories that were just “jokes”. Then he went full right wing asshole.
