YouTube Video channels or persons that "Grind Your Gears" (Internet Talk Post)

RFlagg says...

I'll agree with everyone on TYT. I like the message, but the delivery needs work.

Captain Disillusion. I enjoy debunking, but the persona and gimmick makes it hard to watch most of the time.

Thunderf00t. I enjoyed him for awhile, especially his Creationist debunking era, but then something happened and I just can't do his videos most of the time. Partly it was his stance on elevator gate, which he just pushed and pushed endlessly, but he seemed to just go off after that whole incident. I don't mind the opinion, I disagree, but he just wouldn't let it go... and never got back to what he originally was doing.

Oh and yeah, Angry Videogame Nerd I agree with. Way too much fluff...

Markplier. My kids love him, so my suggestion box is full of him for a few days after every other weekend. I love Twitch and stuff like that, but I don't find his personality at all enjoyable. He's a Pew De Pie wannabe and I can't stand Pew either.

Earthling Cinema... no. Just no. Another annoying personality, I just don't get the appeal.

Speaking of cinema related ones, Cinema Sins. They give 50 or 60, and really only a third or so actually count, even on movies I hated. I appreciate critique but I don't know, I normally can't watch a full episode.

I'll agree with others about mean spirited pranks. Truth distorters, especially when it is for financial, political or religious gain, which I guess is most of those types.

Joshua Feuerstein is a perfect example of the above.

People doing videos in cars, even if parked... there are exceptions to that, like the guy who does carpool karaoke, but most others...

Guy on the street type videos. It's been a format around for too long. How many people did you have to edit out to get a few idiots? Occasionally they'll show one person who knows among 8 others.

When otherwise smart science channels like SciShow and the like use the word "theory" in the common sense of the term and not the scientific use. It continues to distort the public image of the word. They come to a science channel, see it used where they should be using hypothesis. If they want to keep it simple and use guess or ideas. Just don't use the word theory until it's a more accepted theory. This way people don't keep saying "it's just a theory" on actual facts like the big bang, evolution, human accelerated climate change, etc.

Why Avocados Shouldn't Exist

MilkmanDan says...

I felt the same way at first, but he's kinda growing on me. (quick google search says his name is Michael Aranda)

Scishow being under the same umbrella as the Vlogbrothers, one inevitably ends up comparing him to John and Hank Green. And, well, he doesn't.

BUT, as awesome as those guys are, it took some time for them to develop their "instant gravitas" ability, and they only have so much time to devote to Vlogbrothers and associated stuff. So, I'm kinda willing to give this guy the benefit of the doubt and think he can develop into another very good presenter.

Maybe.

Love the content, hate the hipster presenting it. Could barely get through it, despite the killer story.

Should you use Hydrogen Peroxide to clean wounds?

MilkmanDan says...

Hmmm. I would wager that while H2O2 might not be necessary (maybe not even beneficial at all) in the large majority of cuts and scrapes, if you happen to get cut or scraped by something that happens to have some particularly nasty bacteria on it, it is probably better to attempt to kill that stuff off, even though it is also doing some damage to healthy cells also.

And the amount of damage to healthy cells might be so small that it is worth using the H2O2 most of the time just on the off chance that some particularly nasty and resistant bacteria got in there.

But to be fair, that balance (small chance of particularly nasty bacteria vs guaranteed but negligible "damage" to healthy cells) is probably close enough that there are rational arguments either direction.

And no offense to SciShow, but I think that if anyone was going to sway my opinion on this one way or the other, it should be an actual *doctor* that brings up clinical trials -- maybe a Healthcare Triage video or something...

Molten Aluminum Vs Steak

artician says...

Yeah I was thinking leidenfrost as well.

I love that people all over are doing random experiments for the hell of it, but it's videos like these that make me appreciate the education behind the more well known shows like Smarter Everyday, SciShow and whatnot, who approach curiosity with more than just a video camera and a "what if" attitude.

Ecstasy in Rivers and The World's First Geological Map

The Shocking Truth About Electric Animals

MilkmanDan says...

Very interesting and efficient in delivering the information in a short and entertaining span of time.

These brothers (Hank and John Green) are *really* good at this kind of thing. I propose that instead of having public schools, we just mandate that kids watch SciShow and Crash Course clips...

OK, maybe not really, but they sure do a better job of informing / teaching in subjects like Science and History than what I got from frequently-inept teacher/coach combos (who given every benefit of the doubt evidently were hired more for their coaching ability rather than teaching).
