I suspect it was in jest, but the reason why is that he is obviously immensely passionated about aviation and logistics. He makes really, really good videos about both, I'd recommend his channel to anyone.

PS, I had to vouch for your comment to reply, as it was dead. Had a look through your profile… I think there's often a lot of value in asking simple questions, but a lot of your comment history is just extremely low value (eg. correcting people's spelling). If you don't have anything meaningful to add to a discussion, maybe consider not replying at all.

It was indeed in jest! Wendover's videos have been consistently increasing in quality over the years. The amount of research that goes into each one is phenomenal. So much so that lately if I ever come across any aviation topic on the internet, there's already a Wendover video about it. :)

The only reason I pay for youtube premium is for creators like Wendover, Extreme Engineering, Smarter Every Day, etc. There are a lot of independent science, economics, and history channels there that are too good for YT but depend on the traffic for survival. Some have made attempts to switch to other platforms like Nebula but they dont have the mass yet.

I do have a Nebula subscription, and Wendover is part of it. I like the fact that Nebula is partly owned by the creators themselves, and a significant part of Nebula's revenue goes directly to them.

I had a Gell-Mann amnesia moment when their video about electric car charge infrastructure made some major errors about electrical engineering. But their videos do generally feel exceptionally well researched, especially by YouTube standards.
