Trying so hard to be edgy? The dude does exactly the opposite to avoid demonetization, it's the whole reason he started the sarcastic "pretty cool right?" persona.

IRL he's a chemist, BJJ instructor, breeds butterflies, rock climber, into mushrooms, etc. Much darker sense of humor on other platforms, and seems like a pretty awesome dude. One of his current projects is a pet squirrel.

I'm pretty sure I have a crush on him, and consider him a "good" "influencer". Edgy is not a word that fits the bill imho, and science based channels are never edgy. The more kids that want to tinker, the better my toys will be in 20 years.

So what do you consider the part where he’s fondling the insides of microwaves while talking about how dangerous they are?

Youthful disclaimer. Dude just loves lasers. If you want a more formal warning of the dangers of working with microwave transistors and schematic demonstrations of why they are hazardous, Big Clive has the media market cornered.

Pretty cool, right?

so, now you're part mollusc! congrats!
