I agree with you about Dr. Mike, he's great but I think switching to full-time YouTube and content creation has lead to him putting out more filler and click bait and shilling. His app looks cool but pretty overpriced imo
Yeah, I don't begrudge him for it really, he's just playing the game, same as anyone else who tries to make money from YouTube. Can't really be done in a way that isn't obnoxious. And to be honest, I may never have realized the wealth of knowledge he has and shares, without his YouTube presence, so I mean. I'm part of the problem lol.
And yeah, $25/month is just way too much for an app for me, I can repeatedly injure myself for free, thank you very much. All jokes aside though I'd imagine it's pretty quality, he seems like a serious dude.
100% the amount of knowledge available to us now compared to even a decade ago is unbelievable, props to the lifting science bros. I wish this was around when I was younger hah
