Yeah, his videos are interesting but I must admit I do find the somewhat fake “lecture” style off putting. It made as if he’s lecturing to a class of people and there are even fake western “students” asking questions at the end. But the guy is in China, and these are clearly produced for a new audience but dressed up as if it is educational. I can see why he does it - it lends an air of authority to the videos, and it is engaging, but the conceit of it being a real lecture undermines it.
