    I don’t think it’s clickbait at all. He’s in real danger of being silenced. With this latest project he reached into a massive wasp nest for sure, but I admire his efforts to speak up in cases like this.

    And I haven’t found any bias in his content in general. He’s pretty transparent about his methodologies.

      He has a huge bias against Macs. I suspect you won’t be receptive to that idea.

      There’s a general sense of consoles and other devices being beneath the channel. Little comments often surface during news segments that touch on them. It’s not that they don’t acknowledge them.

      And with how shitty Microsoft is, you’d think they would be more even handed about the whole thing.

      But this is filtered though my sensitive ears because I came up with Mac gaming and console gaming, and I’m sensitive to when people are dismissive of other options. The same thing use to happen to Linux until the Steam Deck and associated software support from valve forced people out of treating all Linux gaming as an afterthought.

      Title is clickbait, because a sentence like that without context is alarmist.

      It’s not wrong, it’s mentioned and explained in the video, byt it’s still clickbait.

      The story here is Bloomberg fuckery and the copyright strike, not the imminent channel deletion.

        without context? context is in the video. or do you want titles that span 4 lines with 3 sentences?

          Why is it a big deal? Don’t you agree with Linus that clickbait is just part of the game, and we should accept the sensational thumbnails and titles? Hate the game, not the player and all that?

          No, just be honest. “Bloomberg fradulent copyright strike on our black market documentary”.

          Still one sentence.

          I use a Firefox extension called Dearrow because of this understandable, but unfortunate trend.
