It’s fine that you don’t Agree with me, I don’t need need you to agree with me to “validate“ my Views any more than you need Me to reciprocate the same to you regarding yours.

My "view" is based on the almost certain fact that he has a huge influence on kids getting into enginering. How he does that is not my point, it's yours. You seem to refuse to even acknowledge that he's getting kids into engineering.
I'll repeat: Instead it's "he's a schuck" therefore bad.

Excellent. Possibly I’m wrong then, I don’t mind admitting it. Thanks Dave

Then why are you continually arguing your view if not to say that it's the right view?

I enjoy some of the things from Mark Rober, like his Squirrel race...
But quite some of his videos are much too far on the clickbait side for my taste.

Sadly, the competition is only open to those in the US. 

That said, I do find him a bit grating, and while I've enjoyed some of his work, he does have a very ... youthful energy, and I feel like I'm young enough that I should be in sync with that,  but I just am not.

I could have ONE sub, and if that single person liked the videos, that's good enough for me, as I made them happy or helped em.

Yep you will not extend that thought to Mark Rober who without question has and will continue to influence probably millions of kids to get into engineering.
Instead it's "he's a schuck" therefore bad.

Funny to see people latch onto guys like Rober with so much hate when YouTube is full of schmucks who do nothing more than destroy things for entertainment. Rober is creating things and making life just slightly more difficult for a group of people (common thieves) who I despise. Getting kids involved in engineering is icing on the cake.

Here it's called the Tall Poppy Syndrome.

Could not say better. Back in my day what I had was curiosity and books with science experiments.

Nowadays with things like YouTube and Arduino's, kits like Boolean's Box, SmartLab Smart Circuits, Elenco Snap Circuits Jr, Osmo's, and websites like Sparkfun is so much more easy to get a kid interested in science, programming and engineering. And their heroes will be people like Mark Rober and Adam Savage.
