 His [[youp>PLuYLhuXt4HrQqnfSceITmv6T_drx1hN84|Conlang Critic]] series is, in hindsight, actually kinda mediocre. He has trouble differentiating between personal opinion and fact((:fn:>I'll note here that the name of the series – Conlang //Critic// – suggests some level of objectivity which could have been avoided by calling it ‘Conlang //Review//’ or something similar. This is why I consider this lack of differentiation an issue.)) – though this isn't as big of an issue when he's reviewing international auxiliary languages – and...I feel he just often didn't do a good job. Though that's more of a feeling since I haven't watched or re-watched the videos in a long time.\\ His [[youp>PLuYLhuXt4HrQqnfSceITmv6T_drx1hN84|Conlang Critic]] series is, in hindsight, actually kinda mediocre.

-One big issue is that he's biased towards a few bizarre concepts: he likes any base-6 or base-12 system in a language and he also likes Toki Pona. These two come up more often than you'd expect.+One big issue is that he's biased towards a few bizarre concepts: he likes any base-6 or base-12 system in a language and he also likes Toki Pona. These two come up more often than you'd expect. I also read an accusation online that he favors languages which are easy to learn. I'd probably agree with this purely on the basis of his favorite language being Toki Pona, though I'm not 100% sure since (as stated repeatedly) I don't actually remember the Conlang Critic videos enough to be sure.
  
 I think that one of my issues with Conlang Critic showed up with the Quenya/Sindarin videos – though I don't remember which one specifically. The issue is that he said that Tolkien managed to make his languages naturalistic because he just copied existing languages. This isn't an oversimplification as much as it is misinformation, though I'm thinking of elaborating on that in a separate article...or a few where I critique his critique videos. I think that one of my issues with Conlang Critic showed up with the Quenya/Sindarin videos – though I don't remember which one specifically.
