I miss when LPL's videos contained actual information.

Every video for a couple of years now is the same thing.

Throw shade at the manufacturer in the intro.
Use some tool he sells on his website to defeat the lock.
Throw some more shade.
Never elaborate on any of the internal mechanisms, just reiterate that it can be defeated with this tool he sells at his shop.

Go back a few years and you'll see the difference. The channel is really just two minute ads for his shop now.

Most locks are similar, he now only shows details for unusual locks.

He takes out the handle with a pry bar and you can reach in and take the gun. What further do you want them to explain lol

  Okay, that's one video. Now do the 1500 or so others with minimal information.
  
  His videos have devolved to the level of a low effort shitpost.

    It’s just that your complaint was under this particular video.
    
    I quite like his videos. They’re very cozy

In this case it’s … Really not worth explaining anything? And it’s not like it’s an unusual tool. It’s just a pry bar.

Agree in general though

  For a channel that built it’s reputation on in-depth explanations, if it’s not with explaining then it’s not worth a video.

He still does teardowns sometimes, but he definitely gets more views just talking shit. His videos over ten minutes get a fraction of the engagement.

Personally, I’m a massive fan of McNallyOfficial these days, who also just mostly simps covert instruments, but he does so while demonstrating all the ways that a speed square can be used to defend against mannequin attacks.

  Those vids are highly entertaining. He has also taught me that a lot of padlocks can be opened just by smacking them, which is fun to watch.
