Yah, I'm not arguing that Matt is saying incorrect things, I'm saying his videos need extra scrutiny because he is sometimes using his videos for advertising and gives less than accurate portrayals of certain products. It looks like one his more egregious videos has been removed wherein he's reviewing types of siding and has some pretty laughable "tests" that he recreates inconsistently in order to prove fiber cement siding is superior to all other siding.
Additionally, to my knowledge, Matt isn't originating any of these ideas, he's just implementing them.
I don't mean to be so hard on Matt, I excitedly watch almost every new video of his and I'm excited there are people out there making building science more accessible. I just wish he'd so a slightly better job differentiating between shilling and presenting information.

He was recently on the Essential Craftsman Podcast and he talks about trying to educate and pass on knowledge: * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYG63Cb83sc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYG63Cb83sc
