      Man what an incredible trip that channel was.

      Back in the day there was a whole slew of crackpots (in the best way). There was another who took the washing machine crown from PhotonicInduction, went by the name Aussie50. Used to love his content but he very sadly passed away quite some time ago (I won’t go into details out of respect).

      These days the crazy backyard scientist vibe on YouTube has nearly dried up. So glad we still have StyroPyro.

        I want to go back.

        We still have NileRed I suppose, he does some outrageous shit on his NileBlue channel sometimes. BackyardScientist hasn’t uploaded in ages either.

          Allen Pan still puts out something amusing once in a while.

          I miss the days of 3 minutes of insanity. Now every video is 25 minutes, and it’s all personality driven. It’s turned into regular TV.

          We need a classic YouTube type site back again where people share shit for the fun of sharing. Monetization killed the platform.

      We have Styropyro now, but even his imagination isnt quite as unhinged as Photonic Induction

        I don’t know, I think the destructive potential makes up for any lack of imagination. StyroPyro is hands down my favorite YouTuber.

        Nah.

        He got married around the time of the videos drying up. It’s likely his wife said “you’re a family man now, time to cut down on the Volts and videos”

        I still stay subscribed, just in case the photonic power is switched back on.
