    Destin of Smarter Every Day went down the drain in my books as soon as he published a video about Flagella, and ended it by suggesting it could be intelligent design and told viewers to read a book authored by someone who is a staunch believer of intelligent design.

    Crossed the line as a science Youtuber. You don't need to be athiest to be a scientist, and he definitely isn't. But you should at least know the line.

    Finding out this site is basically just a copy of something that already existed and something they knew existed just further degrades my opinion of him. Especially with it being littered with ads. The ad literally takes up half my screen.

      He went down my drain a long time ago for the same reason. I also find it funny how his good ole boy down south project to make a grill scrubber has basically just re-discovered what all the predominately atheist city slickers have been trying to tell the predominantly Republican voting south, which is that unregulated free market capitalism is the problem.

        The problem he found was not unregulated free market capitalism, rather the opposite. Suppliers and supply chains did not operate on the free market and the denigration of manufacturing in north America due to worker/talent shortage

          Outsourcing to cheaper locales is the unregulated free market at work. Why would the free market pay you more when I can pay less to someone else, for equivalent enough work? Because you’re an American? The unregulated market does not care about that factor. Manufacturing doesn’t pay enough to attract workers, if it did, this wouldn’t be a problem.

            Two-fold problem. Manufacturing pays lower -> Lower quality workers enter the workforce -> Manufacturing is justified in paying lower -> Increase in pay is relevant -> Low-quality workers arrive -> Pay is unjustified.

              I should like to repeat the original question since you forgot to address it. How is that not a natural free market?

              Supply chains choosing thr cheapest and best sources is pure (and positive) free market capitalism.

        This is an exceedingly simplified version of a roughly hour long video in which he points out problems and gives credit to capitalism.
