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 @robinsyl if he's who I think he is, he's already working wth MrBeast so they are likely using the same promotional tactics.
I rarely watch USA Youtubers these days unless they are doing somethng genuinely useful like electronics or car maintenance, and even then they all use strange units of measurement - TBH I fear the only way the bullshit culture will stop is when the bottom completely falls out of the adtech funded sites like YouTube and a lot of good stuff will simply be lost along with the crap when that happens...
