A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.

i dropped Mark Roper when he said he loves his Tesla and plans on buying another. I just can't deal with Nazi fanboys.
Renaissance Periodation. He kept suggesting to his viewers that we should check his facts against Chatgpt. His sex jokes got boring and repetitive.
Mostly, i drop a youtuber when i get bored with their content.
JerryRigEverything for similar reasons. Cybertruck = unsub
Theres something about JerryRigEverything that just makes me think that, one day, there will be news that breaks about him that will make Josef Fritzl look like a saint in comparison.
Totally irrational, but I just cant shake that gut feeling.
I'm still subbed, pretty sure he sold the cybertruck, but I get it.
He's a Mormon and that's a huge red flag for me.
No I got the creepy vibe too even when I was watching.
He's always been very critical of the orange shito.
He's not. He says stuff like this often (link makes it seem backwards): https://www.sportskeeda.com/us/streamers/news-youtuber-jerryrigeverything-tweets-welcomes-tariffs-imposed-donald-trump-netizens-react
He's very vocal on Twshitter about his left views.
Mark does rub me the wrong way. He’s just a very positive guy and clearly cares about being a good guy. But is way too buddy buddy with the big man.
I get creeper vibes from him, always have. Something about the way he behaves around kids, as a dude who has gotta be in his 40s-50s at this point.... Yeah it's weird.
I don't get creeper vibes from him around kids, he seems like a good teacher. Where I get bad vibes are all his scams. The "golden ticket" he did in his science boxes just seemed like an illegal lottery. You cannkt have a giveaway where you must purchase somethong for entry, and idk how they would distribute winners to online submissions and golden tickets evenly
I also get kiddie diddler vibes about him, and I have felt the ick when I see him for a few years now.
See that’s the thing for me too. He had this creep factor I couldn’t put my finger on. Seems wholesome and just wants kids to learn. Put entertaining science videos out, collaborates with other channels, and has the occasional mischief video where he screws with scammers. But the ick is still there for some reason.
Then he keeps shilling for Tesla knowing full well what that means and it becomes clear. You can have ick and be innocent of any crime. Some people just encode differently. But to have the ick and celebrate Tesla this late in the game…that combination always ends with missing kids under his backyard.
It might be the Mormonism leaking through, a lot of people who are in deep with them have the happy shiny person vibe.
Ok glad I'm not the only one.
I don't like putting that kind of thing into the ether, generally, especially when it's based entirely on how they behave online.
But still... I dunno maybe it's just Peter Pan syndrome or whatever. Though I feel like it's rare that people like that excel enough in science to work at NASA (while having an actual personality lol)
You could also look at it the other direction too. Michael Jackson was a popular weirdo with a thing for children everyone assumed was sexual for years after his death.
Then the Epstein files came to be and McCully Culkin spoke up about what MJ was actually doing, helping those kids escape the abuses of the Epstein class.
MJ was painted as a monster for inconveniencing rich pedophiles. It’s crazy that’s actually a thing.
I wonder sometimes about Mark Rober the same way. He’ll cross a line eventually and we’ll be wondering about who he really is for years after he’s gone and he’ll either be a monster or a savior and we will have no idea because celebrity ruins everything.
That he keeps shilling for Nazis does have more worried there’s a pile of missing kids that aren’t blonde-haired blue-eyes hidden somewhere, but I’ll never know and that’s unsettling.
Same, he gives me massive creep vibes
I honeatly never liked that guy. He's smart, and he's kinda like mr. Beast light, he always know how to oplay the algorithm and how to make a buck. Not necessarily a bad thing i guess, but not my cup of tea.
You missed the doctorate drama with Mr. Mike
I remember that but didn't really give it much attention. I stopped watching after all that drama died off.
tell me more? jerry had drama with mike? you mean the doctor or someone else.
