I won't pretend to know more than you do in these matters and I won't challenge your statement here. I just lament the end result regardless of the validity of the mandate.



This is your personal opinion and this YouTuber happens to have 2.5 million subscribers with a video reaching 15 million views and this is on explaining technical details the masses tend to fall asleep in.

So your personal opinion doesn't seem to be that popular.
You complain of this "trend" of long gearing so historical references certainly do apply.


How can you lament the passing of something you do not even understand?


There are videos of cat's falling off furniture with twice that many views so your measurement of quality is flawed.
