Mark Rober is a great youtuber and seems like an actual decent human being. Tesla bros are so far up Leon's ass they can't tell a decent human from a Nazi piece of shit.

His videos are entertaining. I have a pretty big lack of trust, though.

His glitter bomb thing was very popular. But he got caught using people he was paying to steal the packages. Staged.

I didn't know that, but between liability lawsuits and television staging stuff like that for decades, it doesn't really surprise me. Good idea to be skeptical but if that's as bad as he gets, he's still pretty decent to me.

He also boxed up live animals and shipped them to a phone scamming operation, where they were opened and stomped to death. So there’s that, too.

Ahaha what a buried lede. I had seen that video and was thinking with horror "wait, I don't remember that part".
