Seriously, he manages to spend this entire video pointing out his own obvious mistakes, or saying in the edit how he'll correct them later, but then has to put a correction in the comments about how he drastically underestimated prices that he didn't bother to check, so the final "maybe correct" results aren't even reflected in the video at all. And then he completely speculates on how they might price things and completely neglects the possibility that the pricing at two different restaurants might have anything to do with eachother.

Why even make this? I guess the point about "premium" fast food places selling you bigger portions

He's a deeply unserious liberal who only has a platform because he and his brother got lucky with a slightly unique format during the vlog boom.

His success as an author was entirely predicated on his YouTube career and his brother's success. Neither of them are particularly skilled writers, videographers, researchers, or anything else and they know this.

There is something deeply unsettling about being wildly successful and deserving none of that success,

Its been wild watching them get more and more out of touch in a lot of ways.

Mister runs several companies and major youtube channels, and sells books, and etc. and lives in low CoL Montana, no shit things are way cheaper there, quadruply so for him because he's rich.

John was and probably would have continued to be, a moderately successful YA writer if he hadn't done youtube. Hank idk. Maybe he'd have a much smaller career doing science communication (he had a blog/company, EcoGeek, if I recall, before vlogbrothers). Maybe he'd have been more radicalized about climate change and capitalism if he hadn't been so successful, idk.

I don't think Hank Green would have any success if he had a different skin colour

user reports: racism?

Nah this statement is correct. Neither of the greens would have had any success if they weren't fuckin white boys.

Its racism against the green people

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
