Why are people even replying to this guy...

[–] modus@lemmy.world 5 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

Because not everyone has 40 minutes to gamble on a video?

It's not even that it's a gamble. I can skim an article for the amount of detail I care to consume and then leave. I have to pay attention the whole way through a video, and I'm just not interested in doing that.

e: I want to clarify that this is not to knock OP for sharing or Gamers Nexus for making the video in the first place. It did its job in making me aware of the topic; videos just aren't always a thing I'm after.

It's Gamers Nexus. How is that a gamble?

He's not everyone's cup of tea. I'm delighted he's intent on unearthing things, but watching his stuff is work to me. He's a bit of a rabble-rouser, he doesn't make much of an attempt to stay balanced on a subject. It's the 'calls it as he sees it' kind of thing that I tend to stay away from. When he starts going off on speculation, you have to keep an eye out for other explanations. I think he needs to add a good dose of Hanlon's razor to his reporting. It's great that he unearths things, but i'd rather get his findings filtered through another party that has the time to question his findings before they're presented to me.

And lest I get accused of being an LTT fanboy, they suck in the opposite way. When GN and LTT got in their 'fight' I stopped watching them both.

He's an investigative journalist. I fucking expect him to be a rabble rouser.

This guy’s videos are super long and he spends half the time hawking crap while going on tangents.
