    That’s fair enough. If you lead with this I wouldn’t have commented. I agree his recent videos have been more sensationalist, I just thought this one was pretty good, especially for the non-technical crowd.

      I’ve found his videos pretty on point in the topics that I’m familiar with.

      I’d need more evidence of misleading information than ‘A popular content creator receives an investment’. That’s not proof.

      It’s not even implied by the evidence presented outside of an implied conspiracy not built on anything other than a press release.

      There may be evidence of foul play somewhere, but it was not presented here.

        There was no conspiracy theorizing here. Enshittafication driven by money is simply how our world works now.

          The conspiracy is that the investment in this specific case requires or invites enshittification.

          It’s a non sequitor, it does not follow.

          Someone can come up with a story (a conspiracy) where it COULD be true and that story could fit the popular memes about capitalism… but that is not evidence. It’s just a story, fanfiction, words on the Internet unsupported by reality.

        Tbf, the recent “rod from god” video was a dumpsterfire. They didn’t make smaller scale models or talk to experts ahead of time. They just yolo’d it and burned a bunch of cash while doing so
