EngineeringExplained

The original goal of the channel was to be fairly vague, just covering anything engineering related (Here's a strange example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hq5D4EQaJkE). My passion kind of took over, and I started getting pretty in-depth solely on automotive topics.

I work as a test engineer for a forklift company. Day to day is a bit of research, hands-on testing, and some data crunching/documentation. Sometimes a quick test can provide engineers with a great amount of useful info, so that's where I come in.

Haha cheers. We can all use some good vibes when life gives you lemons. Or a trashed stolen vehicle with cigarette ash all over. Still smells. :(

I think we can all agree, Nickelback Promos are what everyone wants to see.

Well, one thing some people don't realize (though likely everyone here is better informed) is that ads are targeted to the viewer, not necessarily the channel itself (though this can happen to). Google will do a much better job of showing you things you want to see (and buy) then say an automotive sponsor. If I had my way, I'd live off of donations, and get rid of the ads, but I don't believe that would work.

Yes, you can force the ad to play in its entirety. Probably would make more money doing so, but at the risk of losing viewers. I typically don't watch videos that force me to watch the whole ad. 30 seconds is a long time if you're only somewhat interested in the video.
