      Interesting stories and tales you tell. I can tell a lot of research went into. At my end, I don't know what is true or not but nice to watch and listen too. That said, you advertisement is common and predictable plus easily skippable. You may or may not be putting chapter titles or letting YT do this automatically, but I have options to avoid such hazards and thus, it keeps me focused on your curated story line in each video. I hope this feedback is useful
      P.S. - Thanks for the insights, lessons, ideas, teachings, knowledge and maybe as A.I. developes, like that chat one I've seen trained up to 2021 standards, these videos could educate them as well as me

      Because the way the dude talks can be really really annoying. Choices of creepy background music for stories that aren't creepy, over dramatic voice acting for every video even when they're not dramatic.
      That's a couple of the things that turn me away from some of this channel's vids anyway.

    But imagine it, you buy the right to tear down a bridge so you can profit from all the scrap metal, go to the bridge with your wrecking crew and then find out that said bridge only just finished construction and is no where near "demolition date".
