Stephen Hawes

He made really cool electronics projects and I used to be his patreon. Now he started a company that makes pick and place machines and all of his videos are exclusively about that. No more cool projects.

Alexandre Chappel

He is a very good maker and designer. He used to make videos about different interesting projects until he bought an apartment and started renovating it himself. Similarly to Stephen's, all of his videos are about that now. No more interesting projects.

Same here! And I have the exact same questions as you. I can't see why that's racist or disrespectful, but I'd like to hear other points of view.

I like this idea too, but in some countries if you don't pay something, the company can add you to a nationwide "blacklist" that will give you a lot of headaches later. For instance, trying to get a loan from a bank, or insurance for something. There's a good chance those will be denied if you are on that list.
