They've more or less addressed this issue. Their videos are like double checked now and you can kinda tell.

I think they corrected, they don't upload strictly one video per day anymore. I'm hope the working conditions / stress for the staff improved. They content produced is still pretty entertaining.

For factual info about a purchase I would trust GamersNexus, tho. And their content about cars sucks, Alex is a terrible car reviewer.

meh. their content is at the same level it was before, they just look over the specs twice before uploading now.

If by half you mean ~~4~~ (edit: 7), I addressed those in a separate comment, and I stand by them.

Interesting, I just checked it out, and it seemed people really idealize "the good old days" plus they go absolutely crazy the second a youtuber wants to earn some money doing what they do.

Here's what I think of the individual channels that I saw mentioned:

• LTT had a big controversy after the Gamers Nexus video and it looks like they corrected. MKBHD was never super deep, he does reviews after a week or two of using a phone. You never get a full picture with just one review, if you are interested in spending your money watch a few, otherwise it's just entertainment. I like LTTs server/Linus' home series and MKBHD for the visuals.

• Mark Rober had a few bad videos a year ago and now has a product that he sells, that fits perfectly with his theme "learning engineering by building stuff". But his videos were never always perfect, people just remember the good ones.

• The Primeagen reacting to stuff is the very reason I watch him (actually mostly listen while doing other stuff). He reads articles about programming/It stuff and comments about them. Yeah, sometimes he's not an expert on the topic, but it's still informative and very often he admits it from the beginning.

• The lock picking lawyer picks locks. I don't know what people expect him to do, there's only so much variety. The 100th video about picking locks is not going to be so thrilling as the first one you watched... And again, him trying to monetize by creating products related to his hobby and selling them doesn't seem like a capital sin to me.

• Edit, because I forgot about Veritasium and Kurzgesagt: I completely disagree. Veritasium has gotten better with time and the last year has been awesome. The "Epic Math Duel" (somewhat older than a year, but the channel is 10 years old, so relatively recent), "Franz Haber" or "Sawing Machines" are excellent videos. Kurzgesagt is completely transparent about their funding and cite all sources, if some people feel a video about using stars as fuel for intergalactic travel or about Dyson spheres is "capitalist propaganda", that is their right to an opinion I guess. If anything I would criticize for being a bit "too dreamy/science fiction", but the visuals are great and it's a great watch nonetheless.

I just checked Sebastian Lague. Last video is more than an hour and about chess bots, so two hobbies in one, awesome, thanks!

I will check acerola later, but seems very focused on graphics, not my biggest interest :)

Noted, will check them out over the holidays, thanks!

Steve Mould is one of the best ones, definitely. Top 10 of all, you always learn something and spend a very nice 10 minutes doing it.

You're right, big omission of Perun, I was going mostly from memory... Fixed now!

I took it as an opportunity to do some Christmas cleaning of my subscription list as well :)

Something more for my "watch later" list, thanks!
