I want to like Tech Ingredients, but can't get over how dad always comes off as smug know-it-all that has discovered a superior solution for just about anything. It's not about the technical content, but how it's presented. Can't stand it.
Don't get me started about the cringe episode enabling his son to interview some attractive girl he had a crush on by leveraging the YouTube channel.
I figured he's on the spectrum. My buddies dad is almost like this, but definitely not on the spectrum.
What interview was this?
That would be this one: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MVYYjMMZtz4
Not related to the channel content at all, except entomology is also a science. Overall, I can't blame anyone for what they did there, but it still felt a bit odd at the time.
(I am aware they gave a reasonable explanation for this, but you know...)
Those photos of bugs are great, they should have filmed more b roll of her exhibit
Interesting, I never perceived a smugness to his presentations, I always felt they came across like a teacher very concisely presenting a lesson to a classroom. I would've loved to have had him as a teacher, but that's just me.
Oh, I absolutely do believe he has worked in education, it's just there is something off about the guy.
No doubt a science lesson given by him in the same style and with the same prep work would be great, these things are not mutually exclusive. I just don't really vibe with the character.
