Kind of even worse is how he acts like this is how a typical user would do when trying Linux, it's just insulting the intelligence of his own fans..

Knowing some domains doesn't make you an expert at all domains. He could reach out to an expert for areas he's not familiar with but he's more concerned about clickbait and shitting out videos as quickly as possible. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] keefshape@lemmy.ca 5 points 3 years ago And this is true for anyone whose business depends on the monetization of YT content.

He may have experience, but it never seemed to me like he had much understanding. Or even knew how to learn, like with the Linux stuff. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [+] Soundhole@lemm.ee 14 points 3 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent [–] Reygle@lemmy.world 20 points 3 years ago Linus knows wtf he’s talking about As a pedantic f*cking weirdo who goes WAY too deep into things until I'm satisfied that I understand them, he very much does not. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Rusky_900@reddthat.com 18 points 3 years ago There is a difference between understanding technology and doing the homework before a video. You can be super smart/experienced, hut if you don't care to learn about the thing you're talking about it becomes a goof off very quickly. I've (and many others out there) have watched enough content to know when things are straying from legitimacy. permalink fedilink source parent [–] pup_atlas@pawb.social 15 points 3 years ago (2 children) He has the technical competency of your average best buy employee. Not even geek squad, just like a normal employee. Just look at their channel, they constantly make videos about their mission critical servers breaking. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] Soundhole@lemm.ee 2 points 3 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 child) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] pup_atlas@pawb.social 3 points 3 years ago I can empathize with that, but that is sorta the problem to me. He frames himself as an authority on a lot of these subjects, and then goes on to demonstrate a clear lack of understanding. Those who know better can take his bad advice as purely entertainment, but to those who don’t, he’s misleading consumers, and potentially changing their purchasing decisions as a result. You can be a tongue and cheek entertainer with a theme, or you can be a journalistic authority, but it is wildly irresponsible (in my opinion) to try to be both at the same time. Especially when he has a demonstrable track record of misleading consumers with his lack of understanding. Its not on any of his viewers or fans that they were mislead, it’s on him for making the waters murky with inadequate experience, biased reviewing, unclear context, and conflicts of interest. permalink fedilink source parent
