The Cruise propaganda video that Derek from Veritasium put out on YouTube is what finally got me to unsubscribe/block his channel. Cruise was using shady tactics way before these safety incidents.

I was with it until the SurfShark promo bit, which, painfully ironically, has almost-lies and 'yes but actually no' bits all throughout it. Dude shoots himself in the foot.

I had no idea. I use SponsorBlock to avoid seeing sponsored segments like that one. Thanks for the heads-up.

I'm on my phone using Grayjay, and it doesn't (yet, hopefully) offer SB integration; I'd usually just fast forward, but I was like 'huh, wonder why he chose a, ehem... popular sponsor for a video like this' and sat though it, thinking he'd actually dissect the advertising-speak, but nope. Bah :(
