I saw today new “merch” section below comments. I’m a premium users for a reason, I want 0 ads.
I just canceled my subscription and moved to yattee / invidious for good.
I mean, I'd fucking hope so.

Why do you expect people to take this seriously? A YouTuber advertising their merch in a place you had to go to to even see is the dumbest anti-youtube complain I have seen.
Ooh guess you'll have to adblocker + premium
That's a very extreme view, my friend. A lot of Youtubers come up with good products. For example, LevelOneTechs has come up with a pretty good KVM that a lot of mainstream companies haven't been able to perfect. So I enjoy it when Youtubers advertise their merch.
I was so close to getting LTT merch once. Glad I avoided that.
Not that I'm opposed to YouTuber merch tho (owner of a Frank the Snake longboi plush here)
Edit: Looking at the KVM switches, I could go for one tbh. Expensive but I def have a use for it.

People don't seem too upset about this, so I'll go off in another direction! The Youtuber doesn't understand basic capitalization, in titles or sentences, and even the channel name is botched. To add some irony, the channel has "Learn" in its name.
I'm not expecting English majors be consulted for every statement, but the most basic grammar, that small children learn, is certainly not too much to expect from an "educational" channel. That's bottom-of-the-barrel, and they still can't be bothered. Hell, there are dozens of websites that you can just drop text into, and the site will automatically fix your capitalization, instantly, for free.
They describe themselves as an "advanced level" education channel. You can't even get away with that kind of sloppiness in junior high, so the actual channel "level" is likely below that. If they can't be bothered with such a basic detail, we should not trust anything else they have to say.
Apologies for the digression, and the rant. This is mildly infuriating, but I feel better now.
Knowledge or choice on application of grammar rules is unrelated to military knowledge and education.
I strongly disagree. How does one even acquire knowledge of military history without language skills? Youtube videos, TV shows, and movies are not "advanced level education" (their words), but writing research papers is. Even if they somehow soak up the knowledge without reading, if they can't write at a higher level than what I'm expecting here, they're going to fail their classes. Hell, they won't even make it to college.
This person is either lazy, sloppy, ignorant, apathetic, or some combination of those. Why on Earth would I want them as a teacher, when there are millions of other educators who don't have these issues? It's a red flag is all; that's my entire point. Of course, there are brilliant educators who cannot write, but the vast majority of people who have gone through higher education know how capitalization works in sentences. Again, just a red flag, not an absolute. There's no need to gamble; we owe this person nothing.
Basic language skills aren't an above-and-beyond expectation from someone calling themselves an educator, it's baseline. When even that's not met, it brings doubt to everything else they may say. Maybe you're fine with that, I am not.
This isn't an ad. It's just an opportunity to purchase something related to the video, or that you've searched for, or that the algorithm has determined you'll buy.
