    He likes anything Toyota, so it's only fitting. I do notice in a few of his recent videos two 3rd gens in the driveway. Maybe he's a Tacoma fan now?

    He published a video a few months back that he was done and quitting because people keep stealing his work.
    Maybe on his way out he's recouping some dough to make it worth his while?

    LOL. He has videos hating on Toyota. He is a Youtuber and their job is to get eyeballs. Every single one of them. It helps to understand that and get away from the cult of personality attached to them.

    They travel to Mountain View to discover the algorithm and implement it on the masses. And people so willingly consume for that hit of dopamine.

    Who cares, just another meat sack with an opinion. He hates something one day then the next vid he loves it.

    The only 3rd gen worth collecting is the manual ones IMO.

    Nothing to steal in this video, it is 99% spec sheet reading and stock photos/videos from Tacoma or Shutterstock.It was just a basic reading of features and info about the 4g. I really didn't get any impression on good or bad from it. If it wasn't for the video title I would think it was just a basic info video on the truck.

    As YouTubers go, he’s amongst the most benign.

    People probably hate him because his OCI opinions don’t align with their own…

    No, he’s just annoying and hard to listen to.

    Scotty is a likeable guy but to me he comes across as an old school mechanic who is too lazy to learn new technology.

    Also because he has outdated and foolish recommendations based on decades-old superstition

    I can't get past his clickbait titles. I'd rather spend my time watching honest YouTube channels like Project Farm and Torque Test Channel.

    Like I said, benign. I’m sure half of the people hating on him in this thread have poured something besides minimum octane fuel in their gas tank.

    Wanna talk corporate shill? Try the Engineering Explained guy. He might as well just wear a Halliburton hat already.
