Curious which video caused you to dump vertasium? Other than click-bait titles and thumbnails, the production and information presented seems first class.

When he stopped presenting them live, and switched to animation with voice over. The change was likely made to be able to pump them out faster, and there was a definite drop in quality that came along with the change.

The animations seem appropriate for teaching the content and actually seem like more effort than just talking into a camera.
But I agree there has been a drop in quality with the growth of his team.

The animations replaced practical demonstrations. They did allow the channel to explore more topics, things that couldn't be done practically, but I think overall it was a net-loss.

That’s likely due to the fact that Veritasium has PE investment now.
