Just to be clear, Jay's latest video on AMD's new cards is irredeemable speculative garbage, but that should be enough to dislike him.

Yeah even if you don't care about the threatening to shoot protesters if they come near his house thing, his videos are also dogshit and he's constantly wrong about everything.

the only acceptable thumbnail is the video title in black times new roman on a white background, otherwise it's clickbait and cringe

He invoked his willingness to kill to defend his home and that he had been prepared. He lives in a (possibly gated) white picket suburb.

well why not posted:He invoked his willingness to kill to defend his home and that he had been prepared. He lives in a (possibly gated) white picket suburb. Everything about Jay makes perfect sense when I pieced together he's a navy brat Gen X'er/very elder millenial who lives in Orange County. e. Not only his views that are sort of at the side of his professional work but even the way he organizes videos, the sort of humor he pulls, his other hobbies (car guy who loves classic pony cars). There's a big audience that identifies with everything he puts out there and he knows his lane.

It's stupid to compare Jay to GN. GN is primarily an informative technical channel. Jay is pure entertainment and hot takes that are usually bad and wrong. More people go to YT for entertainment than serious content so more people look for what Jay makes.

Speaking of guns, the 8-bit Guy is talking about having an open house to repair VIC-20s at his house/studio. People are like "preserve your privacy don't allow stalkers or weirdos to come to your house" and I'm thinking "the weirdo is already in the house and no one wants to stalk that pasty middle-aged rear end"

Remember that LTT video where they were pushing Nvidia's "8K gaming" talking point last gen? Now that they're no longer getting paid by Nvidia to talk about it they put out a new video debunking it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1y5jEK-72JQ

Linus has developed the rich person's problem where his moral compass points in the direction that makes him money. You can see people becoming frustrated trying to tell him he did something lovely while he defends himself that it couldn't have been because he profited from it. I stopped watching all of LMG channels a couple years ago when it became the "unbox things and install expensive stuff at Linus's house" show. Recently saw clips of him again and I think he's gotten even worse in his views and opinions.

I think there's a point to be made about nvidia pulling our leg with hyping 8k gaming with the 3090 and then largely forgetting about it for the 4090, but that's like... one sentence to explain.
|
# ? Oct 30, 2022 11:29 |
|
Nvidia marketing isn't particularly good A colleague noted the launch marketing for the 4090s focused a lot on DLSS3 giving the impression that raster performance was weak. they should have just focused on raster and RT improvements leading to 2x performance over the 3090

I think the premise of the video is good. We should instill in consumers the idea that 8K is stupid and utterly pointless and they shouldn't want it, or else a game company might do something dumb and try to sell an "8K" console. It's just a very funny video considering Linus' history of unabashedly shilling 8K as some revolutionary, transformative experience.

Penisaurus Sex posted:Everything about Jay makes perfect sense when I pieced together he's a navy brat Gen X'er/very elder millenial who lives in Orange County. Yeah it's not a mystery why Jay is popular. There's a double whammy of striking it lucky by virtue of being an American Gen-Xer and THEN winning the youtube algorithm lottery enough to build up a channel, so there's a double dose of ''I know best" dumb baby energy. But people want someone they can agree with who is also more successful than them, so it's no surprise why the big idiot slab of computer nerd beef has a legion of fans.

Steve tests the 4090 cable alone in the office because everyone else is taking time off. Interesting that the adapters they have is different from the one Igor tested and behaved entirely differently. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIKjZ1djp8c
