...and when you're ready to up the skookum level by a couple notches - for similar content - check out AvE.

[Arainach]

Eh. AvE was amusing for a while, but the shtick grew old to me and it all feels much more theatrical and artificial (not necessarily artificial as in faking data, but artificial as in the entire process designed to be amusing rather than useful) as opposed to the no-nonsense "here's the methodology and the data" of project farm.

AvE was a big supporter of the truck convoy in Toronto which I find very off-putting

[dotancohen]

It's hard to find unbiased information on that. Care to elaborate? I feel that all the news articles are missing some critical context.

[UltraSane]

A bunch of truckers illegally parked in downtown ottowa and annoyed the residents for weeks.

[dotancohen]

But what's the other side of the story?

[sneak]

I don’t agree with canadian oilmen’s politics generally but I defend their (and everyone’s) right to protest loudly about whatever grievances they may have.

AvE is ok in my book. His channel is more posturing and fluff and in-jokes than useful content, but supporting legitimate political protests (even if you don’t share their political views) isn’t cancel-worthy.

[UltraSane]

The ottowa truck convoy went well past reasonable protesting into being a public nuisance.

[sneak]

Protests that aren’t a nuisance aren’t really effective protests.

[UltraSane]

Would YOU have been happy with one of the trucks parked outside your home idling and honking for weeks? I strongly doubt it.
