    That would defeat the entire purpose of sensationalist headlines and blowing up a Google search as a “deep investigation” which is this channel’s main source of attention.

    They want the clicks on YouTube. Moving to PeerTube would be great if they just wanted the information to be out there, but that’s not their primary concern.

      Lemmy simps really hard for gamers nexus, even though they’re just a drama channel at this point.

        Their bread and butter is hardware reviews and weekly news. No, they’re not a drama channel. Just because that’s the only time you, personally, hear about them doesn’t mean the rest of us work that way.

        Telling Linus to fuck off is a good idea regardless of views.

      I don’t think they’re sensationalist, they just don’t sugarcoat the industry bullshit. And believe it or not, they need to make money from this, it doesn’t pay itself. It’s like saying newspapers should be free, or else informing the people isn’t their primary concern.

      “A farmer wants the money. Giving the good away for free would be great if they just wanted to feed people, but that’s not their primary concern.” Can even play that game for nurses etc
