    I think it is unfair to judge RMTransit for not having enough urbanism outside of transit when his channel name literally focuses on transit. He is not called RMUrbanism, he is RMTransit.

    I also think by entry level, they mean that Jason does an excellent job of explaining urbanism on very basic terms. He tries not use too much technical language and when he does he makes sure to explain it in detail. In an interview on a podcast once hes explains how much of his career was being a “professional explainer”.

      I’m not at all suggesting that that makes it bad. Only that it means it compares unfavorably in terms of being an urbanism channel when compared to NJB.

      The thing about the use of the term “entry-level”, rather than saying something like “it’s a good entry point” is that it implies the channel becomes less valuable for someone who’s already reached a deeper level.

      I don’t think NJB does that. It’s a good entry point, but it remains top notch even as you become more deeply orange-pilled.
