"Attendees at the February 2022 Friday Night Mask Party could be excused for
feeling a twinge of sadness when the Mask Nerd dropped his bombshell: That
night would mark the end of his career as a mask reviewer; at least for now.
“I know I said I was done last March,” Aaron Collins said on his YouTube
channel, where he’d been posting his reviews of KF94, KN95 and 95 masks for the
past 18 months. “But, then, I never thought I’d be doing this in the first
place.”
As “The Mask Nerd,” Collins began posting his reviews shortly after it became
clear that COVID-19’s hold would not be receding anytime soon. Before closing
up shop in February 2022, he’d accrued a loyal following, trying out masks on
segments that included the live-streamed “mask party” and a Saturday morning
“Coffee and Masks” klatch, both of which routinely lasted more than two hours.
His YouTube channel boasts more than 26,500 subscribers, and nearly 50,000
people follow his Twitter feed.
Like other masked crusaders who have swooped down in times of trouble, Collins
could guess citizens were crying out for his help. He was uniquely qualified to
offer it."
