Maybe it was downvoted because of Mormon weirdo Mark Rober and not the content itself?

Based on comments it's the Tesla stans.

Is he a weirdo for being Mormon, or something else?

Yeah don't get me wrong I'm not a Mark Rober fan and I don't think he's making this video because he's anti Elon even, he's just making it because it's popular to hate Elon and Tesla at the moment. It happens to be a good thing, but unfortunately, I think Mark isn't doing it out of virtue.

Who cares about virtue? I just want to be entertained by Tesla cheaping out and then telling drivers it's a premium car brand that will pay for itself with robo taxi services.

I don't think anything Rober does is out of virtue.

I stopped watching his vids when it felt like literally every single one was a promotion for his kid box thing. I also feel I may have aged out of his target demo which feels weird because I'm still watching most of the other science chanels I followed at the time.

Mark Rober sold out.

He’s watered down the actual interesting science in exchange for a more hype style. A Mr. Beast wanna-be.

Good lecturers exude a passion and elegance of the subject matter. Simplicity in complexity.

Mark Rober is a shell of the educator he once was. I would kill to have his inspirational pull. And yet, he placed such a talent on the altar of vacant consumerism
