He is a science/educational YouTuber.
He previously ran a channel called “Because Science” where he attempted to rationalise fictional phenomena using real world science.
I stopped watching his videos when he started his current channel for better autonomy.
I misread it as “Well’s last trick”, and it made more sense.
Most of the criticism I have seen online stems from how Canonical (the company behind Ubuntu) plays fast and loose with the FLOSS ethos. The earliest controversy I can recall was the inclusion of the ‘Amazon shopping lens’ in its Unity desktop environment. There may have been earlier issues, but this one made mainstream headlines in the early 2010s. More recently, the push for Snap (its application bundle format), which relies on proprietary server-side components, which invited criticism.
That said, I still find the OS ideal for most users. It has been (and still is) a gateway OS for many Windows and macOS refugees, thanks to its strong community. It was for me nearly two decades ago, and I prefer to remember Ubuntu for the good it has done for the community.

Extending your rule: Never trust a service whose “Pricing” page is hidden.
Earlier today, I encountered a website[0] that does exactly this.
It has been a few years, so I will do my best to recollect. Also, I appreciate the work Kyle Hill does and his decision to start a new channel for whatever reasons he deemed necessary. However, I did not like the videos from the new channel, and it could very well be that his style and content has changed over the years.
I remember making an honest attempt with his first few videos on the new channel. I remember not liking the new style of presentation: the setting of a spaceship with a sentient(?) computer program and their banter. It was uninteresting and unnecessary, and the attempts at humour felt flat.
The only reason I watched the videos till the end was for the subject matter. Everything else in his videos became a distraction, unlike his videos from the previous channel as well as his contemporaries where such elements added to the infotainment.
Eventually, I stopped clicking on his videos altogether.
