@suuuoppp: To stop the speculation and DM's I am receiving. I chose to quit my role at LTT because it, and the working environment I was facing, were ruining my mental health. The number of daily items...…
Yeah, I really don’t get that viewpoint. Look at GN’s track history, they call out a company and then leave it at that. That’s it. Sometimes they include clips as a meme (e.g. the Gigabyte “exploding” PSUs), but they don’t make multiple videos covering the same topic. If a company improves, they will make a video recapping the issue, the company’s response, and an updated analysis of if they think that was an appropriate move or not.
So I really don’t see GN as a drama channel, they tend to have well-researched content, give companies a chance to explain themselves, etc. I don’t know if GN did that this time (it was a long video), but they did provide many examples of the types of issues they found.
GN is by far one of the highest journalistic integrity channels out there on the entirety of YouTube. When liars and trolls want to defend something, the first thing they attempt is to discredit the critic as whiny/drama/tattletale or similar words. Source: I have been in that position in privacy community for years, and despise these kind of fanboy cult trolls. They are by far one of the worst kinds of people on the internet, alongside harassers and criminals.
One step worse imo is the “we’re more successful than you,” as if that’s a real argument, which Linus seems to also be pulling. And he’s not the only one, xQc did the same thing when he was challenged on his conception of Fair Use as it relates to “reaction” videos.
