I have not.  I watched a few of his early videos when he first started out after he wrote me.   I was curious to see what testing he was going to do.  I haven't looked at what he has been up to since his book reviews.   

Working in the field,  I really have no desire to watch videos about anything electronics related unless they are on a subject I know little about.   Mostly I watch physics, astronomy, life science.   I also follow a few channels on wooden sail boat restoration and steam engines.   Of course, Guy Martin's channel.  Dave's videos were an exception as I see the entertainment side.

You're right, there is enough content out there to just pass on what's not interesting. I like your stuff for example.

If I watch my early content, I cringe.  That's why I edit down videos so much now.   Packing a week of testing into an hour or two is an art that I have yet to master.

I get lots of complaints.  Welcome to the world of YT.

I haven't watched the video for longer than 5 minutes.. as I then realized I don't have time to listen for 1hr to someones opinion. :-//

BUT, if we're talking about Tek bang/buck in the educational segment -- then I can probably see why they can be - or simply are - overpriced. For many use cases we shouldn't be paying for that.. but it also happens to be the cheapest scopes in Tek's line-up. So if you want to buy quality brand on a budget, then you're potentially paying for crap you don't need.
I must say I'm somewhat amazed you can spend almost 2kEUR on a 2ch 200MHz Tek scope with a whopping 20kpts of memory.  :horse:

However, this is similar to one buying a Fluke DMM with Cat IV ratings and whatnot, and then only using it for low-voltage projects.

Dave has done a blog on why Fluke DMMs are expensive, and when/why you would(n't) need one. I think this logic can be applied to all brands that build up a reputation from their continued legacy offerings: not in particular chasing bang/buck at every segment of the market. You're not the right customer. So going as far to say that any let alone all products are a bad deal, is cutting it a far too short IMO.
For that reason, hobby or a small workshop may be ""fine"" equipped with Rigol scopes, Uni-T meters and JBC imitation irons, while a larger company has strict rules on which brands to buy.

Tek’s CRTs and video drive circuits were second to none. They were the pinnacle of engineering and black magic.

Tek went downhill when they were bought out by Danaher. Same is happening to Fluke, they haven't really done or made anything "new" since they were acquired by those scumbags. I'd take it a bit further and say that anything Danaher/Fortive touches turns to crap:

* Leica's microscopy division
* Weller
* Pantone/X-Rite (yes, that was also them)
* ...
Basically, fuck Danaher/Fortive/Apex. And that's without getting into discussing Tek's software development practices.

I can't work out the guys surname, all I get is Eddy whohar here!!  Anyone know his actual name?  So, I think he is highly qualified and seems to know his stuff, just not very good at getting information across in a video. He often seems to get lost in what he's trying to explain then goes off on a tangent. Also quite opinionated, but both these traits are typical of engineering types, not all but typical.  Anyway, I would have less of a clue how to make a YT vid so shouldn't pass comment, just glad that some do so I get to learn about stuff I didn't know existed.
