I quit watching his videos. I couldn't get over how insufferable he is.

I think he's switched from a science-bro style to an over-the-top kids presenter style since that was the majority of his audience & the target for his learning products. Not a fan of either, but the former was easier to watch, for me at least.
I stopped watching when he said he plans on buying another Tesla. This was back when Elon was going full maga Nazi.
The Jimmy Fallon of YouTube.
I've heard the name and and knew about the glitter bomb, but never connected the two. Wasn't the glitter bomb staged?
The first one partially was, but it was staged by one of his volunteers without rober's knowledge or participation
That's convenient.
Nobody who wears their hat backwards is worth watching.
Fairly certain he sold his channel to private equity recently, so this kinda makes sense.
Bummer.
