        He is a science/educational YouTuber.

        He previously ran a channel called “Because Science” where he attempted to rationalise fictional phenomena using real world science.

        I stopped watching his videos when he started his current channel for better autonomy.

          Can I ask why you stopped? I used to watch him on Because Science as well, and when he got his own channel I was pretty skeptical, but I think he’s done a great job with it so far.

            It has been a few years, so I will do my best to recollect. Also, I appreciate the work Kyle Hill does and his decision to start a new channel for whatever reasons he deemed necessary. However, I did not like the videos from the new channel, and it could very well be that his style and content has changed over the years.

            I remember making an honest attempt with his first few videos on the new channel. I remember not liking the new style of presentation: the setting of a spaceship with a sentient(?) computer program and their banter. It was uninteresting and unnecessary, and the attempts at humour felt flat.

            The only reason I watched the videos till the end was for the subject matter. Everything else in his videos became a distraction, unlike his videos from the previous channel as well as his contemporaries where such elements added to the infotainment.

            Eventually, I stopped clicking on his videos altogether.
