Another Mark Rober video, another reason to dislike the guy
more context, mark rober
Dude published a video titled "I built a rollercoaster in my lab", when what really happened is that he hired a bunch of well-known backyard coaster builders (Magictecture) to build a rollercoaster for him in a week(!) and they're barely even credited in the video for all the work they've done.
The Magitecture folks themselves seem okay with the arrangement, going by their comments on their own video, but on top of all the other sketchy shit going on around Mark Rober this is definitely leaving yet another bad taste in my mouth. Just everything about the guy feels bad and sleazy.

@joepie91 Was there more sketchy stuff?
I stopped watching him after he tried to make guided missiles for an experiment without realising.

@Vampire A couple things have come up over the years but the whole business model around his subscription box (and how many of his newer videos are functionally just ads for that) would be one example

@joepie91 Ah, that makes sense. Thanks
Wasn't even aware of the subscription box
