Agree that I used the wrong term, especially given the negative connotation. The point is that he is now limiting himself to topics that would appeal to the mass audience and solicit a click. If you look at earlier videos in the channel, the diversity of topics is more varied and not necessarily popular subjects.

With that said I think that this is good, it allows Shane to reach a larger audience, and has definitely increased the scope and frequency of projects, which seem like passion projects and fun.
