Yeah, I also used to like AvE's tool teardowns, I felt he did a good job explaining the little things you wouldn't think about, where companies cut costs, and if those cost/perf tradeoffs were done in a smart way or if it would bite you.
Enter covid, and he's ranting about US politics and trucker convoys. Unsubscribed and haven't watched him since, tbh the channel was going downhill before then, but that was the straw that broke the camels back.
Sad to hear he kept up with the bad views, but not surprising.
I stopped watching when he made a joke about at least another trump term would be more interesting. Fuck you Canadian prick. You didn't have any skin in this game so I don't want to hear your shitty political takes. Unsubbed and haven't looked back.
I used to watch AvE on long nights at work and even his tool teardowns got old quickly and the cracks started to show for me. Like every single one was him pointing out the same 10 things he knows about while bullshitting the rest.
My final straw was before covid when he felt the need to post a video on a crane that collapsed in Seattle acting like some forensic analyst giving us his "expert take" on what occurred based off some grainy news footage. I know people just like him who always want to portray themselves as the expert on everything in the most condescending way, and that drives me up the fucking wall, so I had to dip out.
