JayzTwoCents has had it rough with Linux lately... join me as we review his latest Linux video for commentary and criticism.

Basically what you are saying is public commentary of foreign work should not exist or at least should not get any attention and unless you realize why this is bad, you can't be argued with.

Not at all what I'm saying. I'm saying low effort "reaction videos" based on a video that is outside of a content creator's normal subject matter expertise is a waste of time and should not be given the amount of attention everyone seems to be.

If this was actually public commentary I would have no issue, my issue is this video is no better than the bot/AI slop videos flooding YouTube.

That's not what you were saying.

Downvote and make original material.

That's what you were saying.

Yep, this is a low effort video that had no real need to be made except to get clicks. It's like when Linus does his random Linux videos every couple of years, there is absolutely no value in making a "reaction video" about them. Nothing he says in those videos could be worth the creator's time, OR the viewers time.

Your agreement is we need these low effort, low value videos, and I strongly disagree. You might as well make "reaction videos" about whatever stupid shit Mr. Beast is doing, same amount of value. Garbage in -> garbage out.

So your issue is with the base video (Jay)?
