He has a patreon now but still no ads:

Just a guy in the woods building shit from nothing, without tools. It kicked off a lot of similar channels that were obviously using tools.
I love these videos so much and cannot recommend them enough. No narrative, no music, no ads, just well placed camera shots to make the whole thing self explanatitory. I feel like I have learned so much from him and I have never heard his voice.
Yeah, he's really good. He's an Aussie fella, named (funnily enough) John Plant, although I guess that could be a pseudonym. I like his content and style so much, I really wanted to somehow pay him for the hours of enjoyment I've gotten, so I bought his book. Really good read.
I sort of like Mr. Chickadee for the same reason. No talking or flashy gimmicks, just hand tools and the sounds of nature.
No ads? I got an ad on the first video I opened.
No sponsored ads in his content - he can't control if YouTube shows you an ad.
I mean he can, anyone can choose to not have their videos monetized on YouTube. I assumed that's what that whole point was in reference to.
My take was that it was the fact that he doesn't do sponsorship, so you never have your content interrupted by them crapping on at you about NordVPN.
