While it is absolutely true that he cares, I think you are selling his long term plans short. The primary growth factor for the channel was reviewing phones with the repairability / endurance focus, but somewhat recently he expanded to topics such as plugging abandoned oil wells which are leaking methane and wheelchair mobility issues. From what I understand he has a couple similar things in the pipeline.
Thank you for pointing this out so clearly, I'd not thought about it this way before but this makes perfect sense in a "best of the worst" kind of way.
Agreed. I understand he has to pay the bills but there were one or two episodes of the bunker series that really felt like fluff to put in between ads.
I mean, without the advertising, he wouldn’t be able to make any videos. Quite honestly tired of people pulling out this argument like all content creators need to be altruistic trust fund kids.
What? That still happens with so much CO2 and climate change outrage and people literally gluing themselves to roads as protest?
Ok, did more research:
"In 2021, fugitive U.S. methane emissions from abandoned wells were 295 kilotons—equivalent
to 8.2million metric tons (MMT) of CO2 with a 95% confidence interval of 1.4 to 25.1 MMT, the
largest uncertainty range among the nation’s largest sources of methane (US EPA 2023)."
