Yeah I noticed it seemed to be different recently. Used to watch every video he put out but it’s definitely changed :(
He sold several years ago already
I got a weird feeling from him when he did a whole video (or ad) about head and shoulders shampoo.
True, but the change was slow, and Derek still appeared in most of the videos at first.

Hadn’t heard of this either, but it wasn’t hard to find
sad noises over here
they gave the channel to a PE firm, its little more than some to push ads.
His contents are still miles better than some other YouTubers that were bought out. While I’m not pleased with the direction he took, I do not have any qualms with the quality or the content or the depth of topics.
Same here, I’d use it as an example of how to do that right.
