I was legitimately sad when I had to stop watching AvE.
His content quality had dropped but I still watched because I enjoyed his delivery. But when he started praising the Canadian convoy protestors, it completely ruined his channel for me. And then he kept espousing awful politics and I couldn't watch anymore.
The warning signs were there earlier when he pushed a crypto pump and dump on his channel. I'd already pretty much stopped watching his videos after that and then the covid stuff happened. I was also a bit sad to hit unsubscribe.
But thankfully years ago I discovered This Old Tony who scratches a similar itch for me, but better. Much slower uploads, but far higher quality.
I somehow missed the crypto thing. Gross.
This Old Tony is awesome.
NNKH also is good too, a bit different but if you like watching a mechanically knowledgeable dude just fixing on shit, it's good stuff. Seems like a genuinely decent guy too.
Try Hand Tool Rescue
I dropped him when he showed a picture of snow outside his garage and said it was proof there was no such thing as climate change.
I might have given that a pass as a joke because at one point I thought he was a smart man. Knowing what I know now about him, I probably wouldn't.
People who say shit like that don't just need to be unsubbed from, they need a special department of the US government to land a chopper outside their house, deploy a team of skilled face-slappers to smash through the person's window with flashbangs, tie him to a chair and just slap him across the face as hard as they can and then leave.
I would pay my share in taxes to make this unit a reality.
AvE is Canadian but they need a similar department too.
Came here to say this.
Me too. What a waste.
Yeah, same here. Genuinely a sad moment when I decided I couldn't separate the art from the artist.
Despite dropping him from my subscribers list for a while, I still occasionally say doll-hairs and scookum as fuck.
Many of his sayings have stuck with me, too. But I'm find myself using them less and less due to the association.
I agree, when he started shitting on bourbon moth woodworking for some conspiracy theory about him faking content I had to quit his channel.
I definitely know what ave is. No need to type out the whole thing.
He just goes by AvE. If you search for that on YouTube, his channel comes right up. I wouldn't suggest doing that, though.
Ah, I stand corrected
COVID turned his brain inside out.
