> I don't see how pandering to your audience or making money on ad impressions is undermining credibility.

Being beholden to ads absolutely undermines your credibility in my mind.

This guy literally owns his own, successful repair shop business, outside of youtube channel.

He also shown he is not beholden to his channel by creating thousands of hours of niche content on electronics repair for electronics guys like me at a time when no other electronics channel was too successful (eevblog was just starting).

Going your way anybody successful is automatically discredited because he is beholden to his business, regardless to how he became successful or what he is saying.

I don't see people moaning that anything Elon Musk says cannot be trusted because he has invested a lot of money into SpaceX or Tesla and as such he is beholden to his businesses.

I was responding to the comment in general: that having advertisers in no way compromises your credibility.
