The main reason I enjoy E&F is the same reason I don't watch NileRed.
The former is all about doing chemistry with the cheapest, sketchiest equipment possible, while the latter will often spend thousands of dollars on a hugely expensive toy just to make clickbait videos about pop rocks and dental grills. I don't doubt that Nile(?) is an accomplished chemist, but my problem is that he doesn't actually do very much chemistry.
MrGreenGuy is somewhere in between the two, but he gets a free pass on account of being absolutely adorable. (Still not enough for me to sit through a two hour livestream though.)
I wonder what Chemiolis is up to these days; I haven't had one of his videos pop up in my feed for quite a while now. Ditto PrussianBlue, although I just assumed that the FBI finally sent Interpol after him.

There's never a question whether NileRed will do what he sets out to do, it's only a question of how much money he has to throw at the problem. E&F on the other hand can spend seven episodes and still end up with a beaker full of yellow sludge.
