It's a great channel, just wish they would have chosen a better name that didn't denigrate technology still in use.

Never liked the term “primitive”, it’s kind of like “barbarian”, used to push the civilisational narrative to justify imperialism and colonialism by saying they are “civilising” people…

But the Aussie lad behind the channel is an absolute legend. Love him. Just great videos so relaxing to watch.

Yes, that's my point, it reeks of colonialism/white saviour bullshit.

Good to know, I might have to give them a watch some day then.
