Not saying I don’t some times agree with the guy, but he peddles outrage. Every video is some gripe about something. I get tired of being angry some days. Just chill out man!

Well he also repair macbooks and does a lot of good stuff for right to repair.

But his most popular videos are angry old man screams at cloud so that's probably you keep seeing.

Absolutely. I feel like his videos were more "reasonable" before. Now they're all clickbait and outrage with angry thumbnails.

[-] jose1324@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

Agreed. It's tiring watching social media or going to YouTube. Everything is just made to make you angry or annoyed.

I watch a lot of street food videos on Youtube, nothing angering or annoying about them at all. The weight gain is a problem, though ...

Yeah we need to start becoming aware of how our brains are being manipulated. If you’re angry, your fight or flight response is engaged and you give your attention to something (ie. click)

I usually agree with his takes, but I can't watch more than a minute and a half of a video of his, because it's always an unscripted rant. It's fine though, he usually gets his point across in the first minute anyway, and then repeats himself for another ten minutes.

But that's exactly what I LOVE about him! Well researched and thoroughly argumented rants, full of juicy insights and no restraints. I love him, he's my spirit animal. And I love Blackberry and Clinton.

I even posted the same thing on his videos. His tech channel turned into rage bait. Can't watch his shit anymore, he's lost his mind.

[-] NightAuthor@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I’d lose my mind too paying as close attention to the trends of corporations as he does.

[-] Thermal_shocked@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

But do you let it become your entire personality? Dude needs a life.

[-] NightAuthor@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Definitely agree, but according to a recent video, his girlfriend is a privacy nut (said with respect) so idk if he's gonna get any better. Next thing we know there'll be two of them in the videos.

If you don't know better, it comes across as being a rage bait shit stirrer.
