    The way they are phrasing things is very sensationalist. They are very much not doing dry, factual content. This probably is required to make a profit, but too me is still drama.

      What do you mean not doing factual content, they literally had a lawyer with them in their video about NZXT scams. They also showed tons of proof how NZXT was lying to the customers. NZXT CEO was eventually forced to do an interview regarding these news. Is it still drama to you?

          that’s because they are forced to by the yt algorithm: you flat out cannot run a business on yt without resorting to clickbait titles, stupid thumbnails, and a bit of sensationalization, because the algorithm will deprioritize your video and unfairly limit your viewership if you don’t do those things.

          Steve’s videos are generally very much dry, factual reporting using fairly neutral language; or in other words: really decent reporting!

          if you want to complain about some tech youtuber doing the exact things you complain about, look at linus and jay…

          there’s some good reasons why steve is one of only a handful of tech channels i still subscribe to…

          Hot take, who cares if it’s mildly emotional as long as it delivers the truth. The issue with sensationalism is that it usually hides the truth, lies, or tells half truths. If the facts are all right there, who care?

            Reporting is not to be emotional. Editorials are where the emotion goes.

          This is such a weird position to take, they’re doing investigative journalism, but you’re upset because they’re not dry and emotionless about it?
