Well I watched his Linux videos and to any mildly experienced GNU/Linux user he was laughable in that video, but not in a funny way, I pitied him for his lack of understanding combined with his usual stubbornness.
To anyone who may read this comment as overly critical or unfair. It is not. It is apt.
His stubbornness was incredibly frustrating in that one. Kind of even worse is how he acts like this is how a typical user would do when trying Linux, it's just insulting the intelligence of his own fans.. Well some of his fans
You could know absolutely everything about building computers and still know absolutely nothing about sim racing rigs. Knowing some domains doesn't make you an expert at all domains. He could reach out to an expert for areas he's not familiar with but he's more concerned about clickbait and shitting out videos as quickly as possible.
And this is true for anyone whose business depends on the monetization of YT content. Imo.
Eeeh, I don't know about that. He may have experience, but it never seemed to me like he had much understanding. Or even knew how to learn, like with the Linux stuff.
As a pedantic f*cking weirdo who goes WAY too deep into things until I'm satisfied that I understand them, he very much does not.
There is a difference between understanding technology and doing the homework before a video. You can be super smart/experienced, hut if you don't care to learn about the thing you're talking about it becomes a goof off very quickly. I've (and many others out there) have watched enough content to know when things are straying from legitimacy.
