I don't watch his channel, but from here it seems like he is in a "rage" spiral. Like being a bit unpleasant and when people respond to that he doubles down going fro just a bit to kind of an ass
Yeah it's strange why more people don't just give into corporate greed and losing ownership of their channels when they discuss potential (obvious) corruption.
Upsetting that they would react in a negative way!
Ive also only seen a few videos of his over the last few years but it seems like he's recently had some wildly successful videos based off exposing corruption in the PC/tech industry and has morphed his channel from tech reviews to some sort of investigative journalism chasing that high he got from said viral videos.
He goes into detail on some of the videos, but to summarize the "controversial" videos due less well when it comes to recouping the money it takes to film them (if at all). They (often):
Is that supposed to be a abd thing?
No, i don't really have an opinion either way.
Chasing the high? You think that is why he does that? Sit down and think ..THINK what you just said .. according to you his motivation is some junky high chase?
At the end of the day he's running a business and has had lots of financial success with this type of "product," so it makes sense to focus your efforts on said product going forward.
I like that he's exposing corruption, but question his motivations and use of clickbait. I'm not really passing judgement on him either way and things don't always have to be black and white, "good" or "bad."
Do you have something to add? Asking if my stated opinion is "what I think" in three different ways isn't really contributing much to the conversation.
No offense, but Questioning the use of clickbait on youtube is such an idiotic take, clickbait thumbnails and titles make double percentage difference in terms of viewership and thus income for the video. These people employ others, not using clickbait would be a disservice to the employees who depend on this job for their livelihood as a business owner you have a fiduciary duty to the best you can and take care of your employees.
How is that an idiotic take? I watch a ton of YouTube and none of the channels I regularly watch rely on clickbait to push their videos. You could use this same argument to justify it anywhere including 'regular' journalism meaning there is no example where clickbait is unacceptable using this logic.
Uh. Good for him
The only high he's chasing is a money one. Controversy brings clicks.
What the hell happened? .did my comment hurt you or some one you love?
I don't care about him enough to go see if all the drama is justified, so I'm not going to. I just said what I thought, and without pretending to know it all.
If only those who are up to date in his drama are allowed to say anything, then you only hear the crybaby fanboys, because nobody else cares
You could have stopped your comment right there, because what followed was nothing of value.
No necessarily. "I don't watch his channel bit I whenever I hear about him he is in some sort of drama" is 100% true. I just wanted to know if I was wrong or not. The down votes tell me I'm wrong and I'm OK with that. But you started insulting me for no reason
I don't think "don't chime in if you don't actually know, or just ask instead of make a baseless assertion", is "insulting". If anything it's just bluntly pushing for better nettiquette, and coming out swinging in the manner your post did does no favors.
Just take time before posting to ask yourself "is this asking a question, or am I making an assertion I'll excuse as being a question later instead of just asking?" Your post was very much the latter. I don't think you intended it, but it's a byproduct of conditioning short-length social media engagement has kind of created in many of us overtime. It's healthy to undo that.
I apologize. I thought you were someone that completely blew up when they read my comment.
