Isn't that some sort of fallacy?

Just because they are respected doesn't mean something else they are doing is wrong.

560,000 views, times a minimum of one man-minute wasted (that's just the intro, I didn't let the person waste away any rest of my life) is 1 man-year and 23 man-days of collectively wasted time, just to add a couple extra dollars of ad revenue.

This person is saying that he values a couple of extra dollars and not the one resource that you can't get more of: time in your life.

The guy is a an actual airline pilot. He's showing the same stuff that NTSB would be analyzing in their investigation.

You're oddly barking up the wrong tree by complaining about a genuine pilot's non-sponsored youtube channel to recommend a website that is passenger focused.

It's like complaining about a scientific journal having too many words and recommending the Yahoo! Health article instead. It's a different audience.
