Not listing alternate units second, not converted on screen, not called “freedom units” and not hiding behind the excuse of “most our audience is in the US”

Mostly thinking YT channels like Wendover, Bluejay, sometimes Practical Engineering and even some European ones like TLDR News

The difference between a meter and yard is less than that of a measured vs “eyeballed” yard and everybody knows what 0 C and 100 C are so the learning curve is also massively (by at least 50 kg) exaggerated

    TLDR News qould be an exception since they’re British, and the American system’s based on the British system, which is still in use in the UK.

      Still partially in use the UK. We’ve got a really messed up system where metric is used for some things and imperial for others.

      We tend to cook in metric but weigh ourselves in imperial (but stone and pounds not just stone)

      Distance is metric for DIY and metric for driving.

      Liquids are metric for most things and imperial for milk and beer.
