One of my favourite non-asshat youtuber, debunks fake videos and shows you how it's all done.
If there's anyone on youtube that deserves more attention it's this guy!

Oh yeah, he is fantastic!
Infamouslyjoker
He just dropped a new vid like today.

*Y'all. It's short for you all.

He looks like a follower of the DENNIS system. Mostly cuz he looks like Dennis

Love with your heart! Use your brain for everything else

Didn't know adam ellis claims his house is haunted. what a douche
TerraBites
Yeah, cool, who cares? I know it's fake, we all know it's fake. Sometimes it's nice just to enjoy something.

I honestly just started watching his videos, and spent all night going through them!
Colrum
I adore Captain D, had the pleasure of seeing him do a talk on, shall we say "how to take criticism online", he has a video on his channel.
RepostFromLastWeek
Its actually kind of sad that some of those videos need to be "debunked".
thorr97
This guy's great! Each video is a detective story and fascinating to see it analyzed and so well explained!
InnerUniverse
He did the world a favor when he called out the Cicret bracelet on their bullshit claims. They never delivered even though he donated.
apocalyptic0n3
He doesn't just debunk things, too. Occasionally, he will tell you things are actually real, like Dude Perfect https://youtu.be/ou7KSmfC3lA
DannyDqniel
I hate captain disillusion, there's I don't agree with him on. Like he said "Time travel isn't possible" Well it hasn't been done yet
magnersman
been looking for a new You tube channel to binge :)
Freakscar
The new one, about that portal bull. His yelling, I felt with him SO much! How gullible folks are is as infuriating, as it is astounishing.
TheSwedishCryptid
Gateway to Sedona DEBUNK... Some people actually believed that portals could be achieved with sound? Wtf
pxlsfiddle
This particular CD entry is less about the target video, and more about how people react to it (watch from 12:00 on)
pxlsfiddle
He specifically calls out the fact that if you're just faking to believe (i.e. being a troll), you're contributing to the larger issue of
pxlsfiddle
dividing discourse for the sake of dividing discourse. Other people may not have a problem with that, the good Captain does.

His newest video on the tonally-generated portal was great! He also has a patreon that is worth the $5 a month for the "blooper" reel.
ihateimgurffs
Been following him for ages, he hit 10 years of work. I like the fact his subscriber number is constantly growing.
Englishisnotmyfirstlanguage
I’m glad he has more followers but 500k in comparison of less talented people’s millions is sad
makitureworkshop
And just got another
BDF1838
Ditto, his oldest videos are still in like 144p because that's what was available at the time. The comments about the resolution are funny.
Kligan
It's sad, though, that CD's growth nowhere near what that douche nugget sociopath Logan Paul's having...
RockmanModelZ
10/10 content creator, makes fun of himself, funny, has a video with Beakman... I love him.
Yick
Based solely on this still, he kinda looks like Christian Bale
k01e
Never heard of him but I’m glad I do now.
rachiesama
Aaaaaaand I just spent an hour at work watching his stuff.
khaoselement
I'll always upvote Captain D. I love that guy.
TheBroble
Watch his public speaking videos. He's incredibly self aware and humble. And very willing to showcase his own mistakes.
PartyMagician
He's a bit of a holier-than-thou dick in the latest one with the "asshole skeptics" bit
TheBroble
I don't entirely disagree with you, but I see it as a part of the self awareness. He saw himself going into dickish territory and pulled out
PartyMagician
Yeah, and the act of showing that is what I mean by holier-than-thou
TheOtherOneWithTheHair
Exactly, none of those he called out were actual assholes, just people who applied skepticism to trendy lefty politics as well as religion.
etcnotect
Ha "dickish territory" "pulled out"
dustball23
I mostly like him, but he honestly gets a little mean critiquing work that isn't good as his own. Everyone starts somewhere. Talent takes 1/
rushid930
I can get his fustration though as many of the videos are done by paid professionals and every video is vastly more successful than his
dustball23
tine to develop and it looks like he really enjoys being harsh against others. Looking at comments here I see I'm not the only one. 2/2

Anyone else notice whatever he's throwing comes from the opposite side of the room after the cut?

Magic.
WillTheFifth
No, not magic. It's an ILLLUUUUUSION
JackSixxx
What's with the silver paint?
Korruptio
In character, he's supposed to be a superhero from the future and it's not actually paint IIRC
puppyflips
Ceph3i
It's not silver paint, he actually paints himself flesh-tone to look human. Seriously though, it's part of his character (who's a cyborg).
Ceph3i
In the Captain D "mythos" he's a cyborg who lives in space and runs a children's tv show that teaches critical thinking.
SimonMc
Can you provide a link? Can not find the video you speak of.
JackSixxx
Hmmm, thanks for the explanation!
memegod42069
This guy has been doing this with top notch production for 10 years now and only has like 500k subs. Criminally underappreciated.
RepostFromLastWeek
Its his douchy character. I usually have to skip the first few minutes of his videos where he goes full-on autistic weirdo.
spetcnaz
Yeah it sucks man. I think part of it is that he stopped publishing videos for a extended time. None the less he deserves way more subs
IKnowYouHateMeYes
I enjoy his work but I can tell why people don't like him. He's a bit too dorky
elderbury
You were downvoted but I agree, I like him, but his style definitely is a barrier to sharing his videos with certain friends...
adriedupoldprune
Lies. He is exactly the right amount of dorky.
IKnowYouHateMeYes
I like his work.
ChaosandChaos
Is there such a thing?
