I agree, I love how his videos are informative, entertaining, and (perhaps most importantly) unequivocal in rejecting bad-faith arguments made by reactionaries instead of trying too hard to be “fair.” I’m also a fan of folks like the Not Just Bikes guy, Adam Conover and John Oliver for similar reasons.
That said, I wish I knew of somebody who did these sorts of videos with similar authoritativeness but without the casual/conversational/snarky tone. I want to get people like my baby-boomer parents learning these issues, but they get turned off by the tone and use it as an excuse to not take the arguments being presented seriously.
