Speaking of chooch, anyone know what's up with AvE?

[-] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 16 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Aside from going out of his mind during covid?

Not unlike WranglerStar.

[-] ThrowawaySobriquet@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago

I kinda fell out when he started getting Grumpy, but god damn the man could turn a phrase. I miss the shitty tool teardowns

[-] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 3 points 7 months ago

Yeah, that was his peak. The tool teardowns were interesting.

The Torque Test channel is kinda close in a similar vein, but not quite the same.

[-] ThrowawaySobriquet@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

I'll have to check them out. If you like teardowns and deep dives on random consumer product engineering, I'd recommend Technology Connections. Dude puts out quality

[-] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 2 points 7 months ago

Torque Test are very matter of fact and to the point, a very science and testing based channel.

Well worth watching if you plan on spending money on power tools.

[-] thechadwick@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago

Phew.. and what a dive that was. What a waste of a channel. I don't mind the AvE stuff nearly as much as the insufferable persecution complex of WS though.

[-] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 1 points 7 months ago

Yeah, his old US Forest Service videos were entertaining to watch, even if they turned out to be bullshit. But biking it to Portland, armed and scared of downtown was ridiculous. Not to mention his man servant and all the other weird shit he had going on. And even weirder were the traps he was showing tutorials on how to make.

[-] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 6 points 7 months ago

Still a nutter, as far as I know.

[-] rugburn@lemmynsfw.com 5 points 7 months ago

He hasn't put out a new video in over a month

[-] KnightontheSun@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

In one of his last video he was asking for monies for some new project. I'd gather he's working on that.

I like some of the stuff he does, but his rants during covid made me take a step back. If he stays away from the political garbage, I can still tolerate him, but not enough to give him any money.

[-] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 1 points 7 months ago

I lost interest in what he had to say after he came out in support of the convoy protests.

[-] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 1 points 7 months ago

He always was on about 'having a laugh in the shop' and then broke the Cardinal rule, never talk religion or politics at work.

[-] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 2 points 7 months ago

Yup. Not what I come to YouTube for at all.

[-] sxan@midwest.social 3 points 7 months ago

Yeah, that was a sad spiral to watch.

[-] cheeseburger@lemmy.ca 4 points 7 months ago

Had to unsub and strike him from my feed when he started cheering for the "freedom convoy" donkeys a while back. Revealed himself to be a hopelessly stupid and ignorant bumblefuck in my book. Fuck him.
