They could have found a round log.
Or made them round while the jeep was still on the jack stands.Quote:

It's Whistlin diesel... that's what he does.... makes stupid sh!t for "wheels" that go on diesel trucks, and tears stuff up. It's all for the youtube views to generate revenue. The more people that watch, engage by making comments, then youtube suggests it more to other people, generating even more views.Quote:

I used to get some advertising revenue from my videos in the early days of youtube. They have since increased the requirements in terms of # of subscribers, watch time per period of time, etc. It is much more difficult to generate revenue on youtube now.
But people like Whistlin Diesel and others do outrageous content to generate the views.
I generally stay away from this type of content since it really isn't much better than clickbait. I only clicked on the first video to confirm that it was Whistlin Diesel.
Somebody watched "Ben-Hur" one too many times...
It wooden last long wood it?
Yeah, platform decay, or, per Wikipedia: enshittification. It's definitely hit YouTube.Quote:

There are still good pockets on all of those platforms, especially if you know how to use them, but they follow that same pattern.
DIY forums have been the safest haven for genuine interactions over the past 30+ years. The exodus from Facebook and the current rise of "membership sites" (largely forums) is like a cyber-reactionary movement that is rejecting that common enshittification cycle.
