I don’t understand how this guy has an audience. I saw one video that was alright where he cleaned a water-cooling system. The rest were like, “look at all this garbage we bought on Aliexpress lol,” and I bounce after several seconds.
He’s got a lot of charisma. And his videos frequently give that “people doing something they should have prepared more for but pushing through anyways” entertainment where you can laugh at how they put effort into creating an illusion of professionalism but left enough gaps to make it clear it was just an illusion and he’s in way over his head, but somehow still manages to keep it going.
It’s a weird spot where I like the guy and want to see him succeed but also don’t think he deserves that success and want to see him fail.
Though I don’t really spend much time watching hardware enthusiast videos in general, so I probably won’t see either of those unless it goes viral like his last shitshow did.

I liked the time when he tried to use linux and ended up destroying his os by blindly following googled command line instructions
I would’ve done exactly the same, seeing how I am also a newbie at using Linux distros. Who would’ve thought trying to install Steam would result in your GUI being deleted.
I watch because its stupid. Its like why Call of Duty exists. Just dumb fun that doesn’t require much thought to enjoy. Sometimes you just need some good dumb fun and can’t be serious all the time.
More or less my stance as well.
I don’t want or need 24/7 GamersNexus. The team is great but oh boy is it dry.
For people interested in tech edutainment he’s alright and has mass appeal. My favourite videos have been more of the interesting ones showing how fast his ridiculous fibre connections are in his house.
So much terrible click bait has meant I haven’t bothered clicking in a year or so though.
Same. I love any of their “infrastructure” type videos. One of my favorites is when their storage server almost kicked the bucket and they showed the unimaginably stressful recovery process.
