I used to watch him a lot, but he started talking about AI (I work at a big lab) and it was all wrong, so I'm not sure if I can trust his analysis anymore :(

He packages things to present them as analytical, but it's really just click bait for people to hear something they want to hear. He did a take over a year ago on why the EV revolution crashed with such gems as presenting less growth (but still growth) as lower sales. The comment section was full of never EV crowd who got their fix that everything will be alright and that nothing will change. Of course a year later there were booming sales worldwide. The sad reality I'm coming to realize is that there is very little real and quality analysis, critical but with open eyes on the future. Most of it is just pandering to crowds. The war in Iran is the latest example - you have one side saying Iran is almost done, and the other that they're winning. Who's right? Doesn't matter, being correct is not the point.

  Yea. It's hard to tell what's true anymore. I thought Russia would be out of resources in 3 months. It's been 4 years. I thought Rafah would survive. It's completely flattened. Thought global markets would crash after tariffs. It has survived. I'm convinced we're in some kind of propaganda machine right now.

    Propaganda aside (which exists), the world is just an extremely complex place and the people writing these things are taking guesses a lot of the time. That’s it.

      What's your issue with the Rafah comment? Rafah is probably not 100% gone, but it is basically gone. Majority of the people are gone and it's mostly a pile of rubble. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rafah#/media/File:An_aerial_view_showing_destruction_in_Rafah_after_Israeli_forces_withdrawal_and_as_the_ceasefire_took_hold,_Gaza_Strip.jpg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rafah#/media/File:An_aerial_vi... https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/05/15/world/middleeast/rafah-gaza-israel-damage.html https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/05/15/world/middlee...

Unfortunately it's kind of impossible for a YouTube to make weekly/bi-weekly videos that are actually in-depth to an expert level. The best thing you can do is interview experts, but even then, everyone has their own biases.

I stopped watching him because I don't understand why a competent finance expert is slinging ads for earbuds and quick meals. Feels like he's just making "Youtube content" rather than anything serious.
