He's honestly just jayz2cents with better marketing.

Except Jay is usually pretty honest and upfront about how little he knows, which now makes him miles better than Linus "I definitely benchmark better than tech jesus" sebastian.

    Jays2cents is literally the car modder of tech channels. "Here's how you install a 5.1 sound system into your waterblock". And I mean that in a loving way.

    Absolutely. It's why I love his videos. He sometimes has bad takes, but they aren't bad in a "I'm a shitty person" kind of takes and any time a mistake (not an opinion but harmful factual error) gets pointed out he responds pretty well.

    And about 2 months ago, when called out on a bad review video (I think a 4060 ti?), Jay immediately deleted said record and posted an apology. He was humble and obviously annoyed at what they had output. He refused to film a replacement review video, instead suggesting people find a record of that product from another channel.

    That is someone who knows they messed up and wants to do better.
