I wonder if this guy will ever do anything a little more productive in his life.

Perhaps it is not "productive" but it certainly is
creative. I admire him for that.

By the way, thanks for the link. It led me to

That's pretty damned productive if you ask me! Creezy has 6,489,372 hits for just that video on YouTube. THAT has sold a lot of ads. He also has 176,000+ subscribers and is well on his way to making decent money at it. Cree has been at this since January, 2014, and has had 72,464,916 views of his work. Stats at the link below... under ABOUT.

What ever you say genius. About as productive as people walking around looking at their iPhone.

He's making money and enjoying it. No, he's not making essentials like food or clothing, but he's making videos people will wait through ads to see, because they are entertaining. We pay some athletes and musicians ridiculous sums. So why can't some YouTubers make a little, too?

I would have to say that took a lot of thought and planning. Not to mention the interaction of different materials and their interaction to achieve the end goal. Pretty insightful.

Goldberg is spinning in his grave with envy, wishing he’d thought of those tricks.

The guy is very imaginative - I couldn’t imagine so many actions for such a gig. And putting it together and testing it must have taken months!

I wonder how many yard sales, swap meets, and second hand stores he had to go to to find everything he used.
