Is EEVBlog worth it

I've been looking at this blog for a few weeks now. Dave's video's are entertaining but as soon as it gets complicated he either fudges the details or gets in wrong. My opinion is that he is not a real engineer. He never answers questions regarding his formal training, though he often claims in interviews that he has formal training. In my opinion, often dispenses fake information.
The "advice" dispensed by the members of this blog is useless. Rather read credible books on engineering or study at an accredited university than reading the junk "advice" on this blog.
Will you allow a "doctor" without the proper credentials to operate on your brain? If you would, then happily continue reading this blog and watch Dave's videos.

Am I to understand that you learnt everything you know about the subjects you know from your university education?
If so, what made you want to come to a forum like this? Is it to further your knowledge and intelligence from others who may have gone through the mill and have real life experience or just to find a place to criticize others? Nobody asked you to join or for your opinion about this forum. So, I would respectfully ask you to leave the rest of us and the forum. Just get the hell out of here. End of story. Have peace.

I think EEVblog is great, as a retired engineer with several patents to my name and a long business career it keeps me in touch with what fellow enthusiasts are into and doing, if I can help I chip in but I am usually beaten by others. Whenever I have been stumped by something a quick question here gets some really useful other insights, so no I completely disagree with the OP and as others have said if you don't like it bugger off!

Everyone has a right to an opinion, fair enough. Don't expect this well advance you very far, though. Dave is a highly regarded, very nice natured (sometimes ranty, hehe) and respected chap, and he's worked very hard and still does. If you want a paper degree, sign up to an online course and get one, or at your local university.
I respect your right to a viewpoint, and thus, you must respect the right to maybe some of us thinking you're having an off day, and need your "reset" button pressing to restore normal mental balance

OP appears to be typical academic wingnut. How about you show us how to youtube? You know, build an audience not just profess to a captive one.
I'll bet something said on Dave's twitter caused some triggering.
