Dustin (SmarterEveryDay) has weird energy and not in a good way. It comes off as a little creepy.

I know he and Diana met at some YouTube function and have done collaborations. Even though I know their friends IRL, it was still a bit creepy to me that he went to visit her while she had long COVID right after she got married.

I will say that she didn't show any red flags for me until after she did the hydrogen cars series. I know creators have to get paid but still...it was like when Aubrey Plaza took Dairy Farmers money and did a commercial for milk.

Very off brand for both of them and lost a whole lot of respect when they did it.

Yeah, for sure. Having been around both evangelicals (especially) and Mormons a lot, I'm pretty sensitive to the "subtle" proselytizing and hate it. And it really comes off to me as if he has a thing for her and is being kinda weird about it, as repressed Christian guys are wont to do (speaking from past personal experience).

I didn't know anything about the hydrogen stuff until the earlier comment.
