Love how detailed Gamer’s Nexus is, but 3.5 hours is waaaaay too much. What’s the TLDR?
He repeats information constantly. Any time I watched one of his videos I couldn’t stop thinking how it could be cut to a third of the length without losing anything important. For my attention span it’s unwatchable.
The problem with that, is if he did that. Then you would see endless people claiming hes bullshit, lying and cherry picking sources endlessly.
You have to make a point, make it again, show proof, make the point again, show different proof of the same thing, make the point a last time, followed by more proof of the same thing with extra sources. ONLY THEN. Does the avg idiot actually believe you instead of just screaming at the top of their lungs that your an idiot.
When you have to compete with misinformation and propaganda, you have to be so overly verbose that it borders on the absurd. Seriously iv watched people argue up and down that Steve lies and makes shit up in every single one of his videos because it doesn’t agree with the dude bro crypto cult manosphere twitch streamer they watch.
So while your entirely right he could cut a third of his run time of his longer videos ALL of his videos really. You would just end up with the screaming idiots coming back like they use to on older gamer nexus videos before he started getting really long winded.
If that were true we wouldn’t have anti-vaxxers, flat earth, or religion.
I’m only half way through but the TLDW so far is that the consumer DIY market is in collapse. Component suppliers are in bad financial shape, and many will probably not survive the down-turn.
Does make you wonder what we will be left with. Probably not all components gone. But likely less choice.
Could get a pi, they seem to be popular enough to not go away any time soon.
Did you see the Pi price increases though? Ouch. A mini-PC is likely better value now.

Mini PC prices are also going up. But yeah they are also an interesting choice to look at.
I’ll game on a pi zero before I subscribe to run them on a data center.
Usually, there’s a mouse over on the time bar of his vids. You can find the bit you want and skip the rest. But if this is 3.5hrs, it’s likely it’s a playlist of all related vids smashed into one vid.
It isn’t.
i’m half way in
watch it
