> he has demolished his credibility be becoming a 'tuber who prioritizes thumbnails and hot takes over engineering

I don't agree that he has demolished his credibility. I also dislike the youtube face and sensationalization but I personally don't hold it against him, given the Youtube algorithm.

Regardless of his style, I like hearing the take from an engineer who's working in a different country/culture and has a completely different perspective.

edit: it seems you changed "demolished" to "harmed". I still don't agree but it reads more defensible IMHO, thank you.
