Ugh, that's disappointing. My son really likes Mark, we've been watching his videos and even got this Build Boxes things to build every month. Sean got 300K views and Mark Robers video 91M.

Mark claims he built it https://youtu.be/xoxhDk-hwuo?list=PLgeXOVaJo_gnexNopBzUKdl3Q..., he had the sketch done first and the CAD drawings, the he "hit up his buddy Sean, who is good with this type of small electronic stuff". So Mark claims Sean did just the electronics.

This was added afterwards after some outcry. It's annoying that YouTube doesn't notify whether the video was edited after the fact, like Reddit/Hacker News does.
That is sneaky. At least they decided to update the video. But overall it's pretty disappointing. Mark is playing this meek, super nice guy persona on the screen. It's just camera play acting to attract young viewers. Oh well, it's good to know. Thanks for mentioning it.
