I used to watch Big Clive and supported him on Patreon.
Then he started going off on wild shit about weird conspiracy theories about vapes being harmless, and government just wanting to get rid of them and lying about the lung damage or something to that accord.. and of course, Covid had to come into it to, where he made wild claims about it just being a regular flu and the whole response was blown out of proportion and really dismissing it as a threat.
I dont know how far he's fallen since then since I cancelled my patreon and fucked off from viewing.
JW what "the lung damage" you're referring to? EVALI is widely understood to have been the result of people vaping black market thc carts with a thickening agent that is unsafe to vape. There hasn't really been any specific general "damage" done to the lungs of the population by vaping otherwise. And as someone from Australia it's hard to imagine 'government just wanting to get rid of them' as a conspiracy theory. They have been trying to get rid of them, they just suck at doing it.
Never heard Big Clive deny covid though, that's off-putting.
Where does he go off on conspiracy rants? I only ever watch his circuit teardown videos
I dont know, it was like 3-4 years ago now. I didnt stick around to find out how much further down the stupid hole he planned to go.
I watch his videos occasionally and I haven't seen anything like that. Recently, at least, he's just been doing the usual of taking apart and explaining random electronics he finds.
