His contents are still miles better than some other YouTubers that were bought out. While I’m not pleased with the direction he took, I do not have any qualms with the quality or the content or the depth of topics.
Some videos are still worth the watch, it’s not a bad channel but it clearly took a quality hit after Derek started being more hands off. Also you can see it on his face how he’s just there because of a contract. Good for him though.
Basically what this video explains. Channel gets sold -> everything as usual -> small changes -> “we need return for the investment” -> bigger changes -> channel ruined.
Veritasium. Sold out to private equity.
Aw :(

Same here, I’d use it as an example of how to do that right.
Fireship too, sadly.

Yeah I noticed it seemed to be different recently. Used to watch every video he put out but it’s definitely changed :(
He sold several years ago already
True, but the change was slow, and Derek still appeared in most of the videos at first.

I got a weird feeling from him when he did a whole video (or ad) about head and shoulders shampoo.
It was always shit.
what?

Hadn’t heard of this either, but it wasn’t hard to find
sad noises over here
they gave the channel to a PE firm, its little more than some to push ads.
I mean I still somehow manage to learn a lot of cool shit about math and stuff lol
Ah! That’s sad, damn
