I actively avoid watching any more of his stuff because I don't want to support his misinformation. Guys like him make a living off YouTube, and anyone making a living by pushing bad information needs to find another line of work IMHO.

What he said ^^^^^^^. This guy feeds off clickbait money by posting outrageous headlines. I cant stand his videos. I watched a few before I concluded he isn't very credible. Now, despite not being a subscriber to his channel, I still get suggested videos from the guy and his crackpot claims. Even his face in the thumbnails bugs me.

He's sort of entertaining but it's hard to take a guy seriously when the yard and garage in the background look like a hoarding den/yard sale
He also doesn't like Tundras which (despite being very outdated) top most reliability lists because he had to change out a starter and it was too complicated.

Seriously, he misleads so many people. Do the world a favor and don’t click on his videos, the more views he gets, the more his BS propagates.

Just his voice and his mannerisms are enough to keep me away.

I was thinking the exact same thing.

What a dork. The mess in the background goes against the principles of every engineer I know.
If he’s an engineer, than I am deep in some Jungle listening to Katy Perry roar.
