He's had a couple of misleading videos over the last few years that finally made me unsubscribe. Specifically the lightbulb with a 1 light second wire and the more recent video about light taking infinite paths.

There was also the Waymo ad and the Rods from the Gods video where he couldn't bother to use a guide wire to aim.

What was wrong with the 1 light second wire and the light taking infinite paths videos?

The 1 light second wire video is kinda set up to bamboozle you. But it's still correct and taught me about EM.

Especially the way he (or the team) responded to the criticism they got for doing those «sponsored content» pieces put me off hard enough to unsubscribe.

Yeah, the light propagation videos are just high on misleading theories.
