Has the History Channel become the BS channel that relies on kooks and doofus’s for its audience?

Not sure if you guys have heard of Youtube's Reckless Ben. He's infiltrated Scientology, infiltrated the Yellow Deli Cult, and taken down McKamey Manor.

This time he investigates a lego consignment company that apparently took a massive lego collection to sell, didn't sell it, refused to give it back to the owner and then had the owner trespassed when he went to the store to get it back.

He does tend to string his videos out a bit and he loves the clickbait thumbnails ... but he's genuinely achieved more than probably the combined history of all investigative journalism.

[edit] This has gotten pretty big, and it's a hell of a ride. It's been on local Oregon news, the CEO of Patreon has weighed in, and the lego community is in an uproar. 1000x more interesting than Oak Island.

This already plays in my head every time a “discovery” is made.

This is number 1 in a series of videos about this guy's attempts to get his Bugatti running again. You might find some similarities with TV's The Curse of Oak Island such as: Lots of re-caps, 3d animations, a successful business man, a fair dose of people getting Lagina'd, several on-location Euro Trips, and a potentially never ending quest ...

It's actually a pretty good watch. Although I did watch a fair chunk of it at 1.5x speed.

Some people are saying that the Fellowship Leadership is cost cutting and not bringing as much expensive equipment to Oak Island for the 14th. season of BS. Will the ricks start to question the level of commitment the Fellowship Leadership has?

Anyone know if the Fellowship of the Dig are onsite at Oak Island with a bunch of large expensive equipment?

Is it time to retire the old folk (Rick and Marty) and give Alex and Peter a chance to change history as we know it? Is it time?

• Obsessed with geometry but know nothing about geometry.
• Obsessed with history but know nothing about history or the historical method.
• Obsessed with archaeology but know nothing about archaeology.

Because, you know, if they like knew anything about any of the above, they wouldn't be carrying on about how "something special" happened on that island. The funny thing is that while they're obsessed with the above, they aren't willing to put any effort into learning, like anything, about geometry, history or archaeology.
