Scotty Kilmer fun fact
ChrisFix is also a very popular YouTuber who shows how to perform auto repairs on his channel and has even more subscribers and views than Scotty. Recently Scotty created a video in response to a video that ChrisFix made detailing how to clear coat and polish headlights. In the video, Kilmer suggests that ChrisFix was wrong and called him out on other things as well. However, Scotty went a bit too far, and rather than making a video showing he disagreed with ChrisFix, he basically disrespected him and came off as tacky. For this, Scotty got a lot of slack and later apologized.
