He has been on youtube for nearly 10 years making videos, and as he gained success, he started to work with more and more people to do even more amazing work.
Agree that his Youtube content is great, I think the skepticism is about whether or not having a cool Youtube channel translates into being good at teaching an engineering course. I hope it turns out to be something that's great and worth the money, but if I were a betting person, based on my past experience with a lot of on-line courses, I'd bet it's not. It's unfortunate that in order to tell if a course is actually any good, you'll have to invest a considerable amount of time an effort before you realize it's not any good. I've wasted so many hours into bad courses that I have to wait until one is recommended over and over again before I'll give it a chance.

Watch one of his initial videos (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1P6K_PaS0A) and compare to his work now.
