Leaves the help/tips app icon in the dock. Proof Mark Rober is a psychopath.
This is already clear from using GNOME and Ubuntu
Let’s burn him at the stake for supporting snap
\s
You act as if Snap was bad in any way. Proprietary backend does not equal bad.
Edit: Most people don’t care about FOSS vs proprietary. And the snap client is FOSS anyways, plus it’s capable of installing snaps from local files.
Who?
Edit: nvm it’s that clickbait glitter guy who harassed the poor for views
Harrased the poor? What?
Built a booby-trap device to cover porch pirates in glitter. Oh no, such a disgrace.
Wow. Never seen someone defend porch pirates before. What a hot take.
Criminals have rights too. One could say, that as by law in every civilized country, committing a crime does not mean random rich fucks can do whatever they please with you and your life.
And I for one do not particularly find some desperate single mom stealing to give something to her kid in a trailer park being exploited for views to be entertaining or in good taste, even if she is a thief.
I’m not a thief, and I’m not a criminal, but I have far more in common with her than with out of touch rich fucks like that Mark guy.
You’re giving package thieves too much credit. It’s straight up unethical to steal from your neighbour. I can defend stealing from a Walmart, but not another member of your community.
It’s not “desperate single moms” that are stealing these things. These are often fairly organized groups that actually make their money by stealing people’s packages off of their porches and then reselling the items. And a few of them are just assholes looking to ruin somebody else’s day while making themselves a bit richer.
That may very well be, but the videos speak for themselves - there are no “organised groups” on display, mostly just clearly poor folks and maybe some opportunists.
Who? Oh, that glitter bomb douchebag has sixty million subscribers.
Found the porch pirate.
😂
Such missed opportunity to put pipe bomb.
For the uninitiated, who’s Mark Rober?
LDS former NASA engineer that makes silly devices and gadgets. Some interesting videos, though he’s big into the clickbait game. Seems at least relatively sincere in his push for encouraging interest in STEM with children, though he can be a bit “flash over substance” for my tastes. But he is better then a lot of others I’ve seen in that regard.
he’s big into the clickbait game
Don’t hate the player, hate the game.
Smarter Every Day did a video on using clickbait titles and thumbnails. The data is clear: everyone complains about it, but it performs far better than anything else on YT. And if the goal is to most efficiently spread educational videos to the largest number of people, then unfortunately, it’s really the only option.
TBH, the tone isn’t that different from Bill Nye. Wacky colors, loud obnoxious personality, gotta get kids excited about science somehow.
SED also uses the clickbait tactics, so I wouldn’t exactly consider them an ubiased source. They’re also all profiting from these tactics. Let’s not pretend it’s just some virtuous sacrifice to “teach the kids”.
Correct. But at least we all can agree that the OG pillars of sciTube (and adjacent content) who keep it fresh with their unique forever updating style are the less guilty of those tactics: 3blue1brown, Vsauce, CGP Grey, Steve Mould, Matt Parker, Numberphile & 3 or 4 more that escape the tip of my tongue. They all do this for a living, but only one created a loot box and all profits go to research.
In the rock paper scissor robot video he went full mr beast. Good channel going down drain.
I agree! I liked his videos, but lately, I can’t watch his videos anymore…
Got too big and went from showing the process of building interesting things to showing off things other people built.
