Love how he showed the instant MPG as proof the Camaro SS can hit 40 MPG......

Either the owner got one by Scotty or Scotty included it just for the clicks.

a lot of folks rip on Scotty.
I like him, sans the screeching

Surprising video from the guy that shows a GM dealership photo every time he utters the word "junkyard"

Kudos to the owner of the 1LE who showed him the light

, even though he did own Scotty with that immediate fuel economy screenshot (probably taken going downhill, heh).

I've never heard of the guy before this morning.

Endless click-bait YouTube videos with little actual value. I got tired of his shtick very quickly...

I've tried to listen to a couple of that guys videos... Sorry, just can't do it.

Scottty is an interesting youtuber. He does have a click bait style but his videos can sometimes be fun to watch too. He bounces between high quality videos and just your average Q n A.

It does impress me the amount of video the guy puts out though, it's insane.

That article from Tavarish is from 2015, seven going on eight years ago, and Scotty Kilmer's channel has kept growing steadily since then, with a huge and loyal following. Meanwhile, Tavarish still only has less than half of his subscriber count even after this many years.

I think what happened here isn't that he is giving out impeccable advice (far from it, and let's not even discuss the relentless clickbaiting in his titles and descriptions) but hat he has eased into an important niche, that of the independent advisor that does not do sponsorships and is happy to espouse his views, financial implications be damned.

The overwhelming majority of online reviewers are biased or downright tainted one way or another, and, taking a step back, there is a general information quality crisis—it seems that his opinionated and often obsolete yet genuinely honest advice found its way to people. Of course, this can be done a million times better, too (take Project Farm as a prime example of a channel providing insanely useful and impartial reviews), but Kilmer doesn't really owe any of us anything, be it factual perfection or a complete lack of inadvertent bias.

He's known for trolling the auto market.

Misinformation about why you should do this or that, or this and that won't do anything.

Videos like that.

He's basically rage inducing and most of the time just click bait.

There's a caveat with that.

He knows cars that do not exist in the performance envelope specifically.

And no he doesn't know his shit either when it comes to performance market.

He's flat out spread false information about it on many occasions.
