I uninstalled the YT app on my phone and use the desktop site exclusively now. Can’t stand watching without ad block and sponsor block. I also blocked shorts.

Its pretty clear that Mark and Micheal Reeves don’t focus as much on design and iteration so much as the ideas behind their creations. The content formula for their videos is different from the other youtube creators you mentioned. If that style of video isn’t your cup of tea, thats ok.

As for the inventions themselves, I have to disagree. I think some of Mark’s creations are fairly well designed, such as the later versions of the glitter bombs.

I actually use one of these for work. It fits comfortably in my pocket and don’t burn my fingers when I have to light up a bunch of sterno burners.

Wasted? No Nutella was wasted in coating every surface. If there was any left over I’m sure he would have lathered another coat on. /j
