  > I'd love to understand the source of it. I certainly don't hate Mark Rober and am not at all trying to reduce his success - so take this as one opinion in response to your question. There is something about his YouTube content I don't personally enjoy. It's a little hard to articulate, but to me it feels cheesy. I understand his schtick is creating overengineered solutions to life's little annoyances, but his on-screen persona seems put on to me. I get the sense he's a super talented guy who also has an amazing crew and network of friends. I just don't have a swimming pool or access to a trillion orbeez, so perhaps I am more drawn to normal engineers making youtube videos about them hacking on their raspberry pi.
