In the first video in the series Destin himself says the Navy did not pay him.

I do recall him mentioning his own biases and conflicts of interest at some point but I don’t recall what series that was a part of.

This might be it:

From 2019: "For the last 15 years I have worked for the Army Test Evaluation Command."

They neither paid him nor had edit approval on his content besides redacting classified information.

He was covering sciene topics nothing controversial or political if i remember correctly it was about air circulation systems and the fail safes etc.

Beyond classified stuff , there is not much need for edit approval.

They did? I am not disagreeing, just wondering if he disclosed that or how you found out.
