Thunderf00t has some good videos. But these are not his best work. The hyperloop issues are more engineering issues than solar roadway's physics issues.

This series kind of feels like thunderf00t pandering for views with controversy.

I've read praise of Thunderf00t on HN this weekend and today. Skimming his content, he comes across like a rather unpleasant person who produces polemical material. Am I missing something, why do people refer to him and his content in a positive manner?

He has good series and bad ones. If its about science, like his series on the coulomb explosion of sodium in water. Then it can be pretty good. Or military history, UK politics.

If its about social issues. Usually not very good, or insightful with a few exceptions.

Like most people making their primary income off youtube, he needs to grind out content a couple times a week. Not all of it is gold.
