I feel like that's the case with most tech expert channels. I'd even say Mental Outlaw is relatively mild compared to Distrotube ("if you support open-source, you should also support guns") and especially Luke Smith (holy shit, where do I even begin).

I watch them because their expertise in FOSS technologies is beyond question, but that is where my trust in them ends.

Both Distrotube and Luke Smith are firmly in the category of - I used to watch their videos until I was like "whoa buddy, I thought we were talking about Linux and stuff..."

The only video I watched of him was about sudo being “insecure, bloated, useless” and telling people to download a port of doas uploaded by some random user on GitHub… so you’d get 2 surfaces of attacks now, one which is definitely not being fixed as quickly.
