This guy basically invented the genre and everything’s else has been copping his success. Most can’t do the stuff he does and to differentiate they just make stuff up.

I remember after watching one of his videos YouTube started recommending all of those other primitive construction videos.
So many shots of a shirtless Asian guy poking at the ground with a stick and walking off with a scant handful of dirt cutting to a 10x10x10 foot hole in the ground with perfectly square sides and the guy poking at the bottom of the hole with the same stick. Laughably bullshit.
And with mini bucket excavator tracks surrounding the hole, no less.
Blisters on his hand, cuts on his foot, dirty all over the shoulder.
I remember when he was posting more frequently (I guess there has been a hiatus over the last 2-3 years) I would step away from the Friday evening company all hands to watch his new video as soon as I saw the notification. Which makes me think, perhaps this channel is still the only one I actually have "click the bell to be notified".
AAA content.

He was writing a book which he now sells.

The same thing happened with the hydraulic press channel. Copycats emerged there as well.
Can you post a link to it? Sounds interesting.
