Reel Repair by Alan Tani

I watched the first part of the Avet "documentary".  I couldn't stand to watch more,

It is  riddled with both historical and technical errors. For example, the explanation of side load binding was ridiculously incorrect, and Avet did not invent putting ball bearings into lever drags before reels. Aargh.


It is pretty obvious that whoever is doing this does not have an understanding of the topic, let alone subject matter expertise. 

This thing is put together with strange, improperly used documentary cliches, and what is with the British accent?  And no credits?

This guy is cranking out "documentaries" by the day. Nothing about the originator other than  a link to a site selling fishing tips, which is probably more AI slop.

My take exactly. I watched some of the Shakespeare video and was at first annoyed by the inaccuracies, both the quickly cobbled AI verbage and images, with clickbait titles. I was, still am, disgusted. I see they are getting views, which is solely what they were meant to do. Yuck.
