    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
