This show is what happens when the writing is too on the nose with the lore and acting is stifled by fan boy shouting. This show is sapped of ingenuity to appease “canon”. You can’t tell a new story anymore without the public railing for the same-old.

No he is pretty bad. He was smart to invest in a sleek presentation style, which is why people watch his videos, but he’s often wrong with basic, easily googleable facts. You’d want someone with such a big following would do more research as their audience grows (which is what uninformed audience would expect), but…

and still makes most of his money reviewing tech hardware

Marques isn’t bad, per se, but he’s one of the few really early Youtubers who is still actively doing his thing, so he’s built up a lot of goodwill and a massive fan/viewerbase in the intervening years.

That being said, he got his start and still makes most of his money reviewing tech hardware. So, while cars have…

Because people unfortunately associate accuracy with the number of followers and not the quality of the information. 90% of the car or construction/real estate-related (the two areas in which I have lots of expertise) tiktok hacks that my wife or friends send me are complete bullshit and more than half the…

I first heard of him just a little over a year ago maybe and watched a couple reviews. I thought he was an amateur reviewer because of how ill informed he was on the products and the market. Haven’t watched since.

right, he gets his clicks and ad revenue either way.  he doesn’t care about accuracy as long as the payments clear.

I can’t speak to this specific review as I have no experience with the Fisker, but Brownlee’s tech reviews leave much to be desired.  He speaks confidently about things despite often getting details wrong.  I have no idea why people weight his reviews so heavily.

Im sure most people are like you. The problem is the loudest voices are from the people who have issues. The ones happy with the car aren't going to say much.

Salt, sugar, and fat aren’t bad for you, strictly speaking. Your body needs sodium, glucose, and fatty acids to function properly. They’re tasty because they’re valuable sources of nutrients that were difficult to find in our evolutionary past. The fact they’re now present everywhere and all too easy to consume in…

He told it like he was a Civil War veteran talking about being at Gettysburg.

<quote>But yes he did sound like the choked up a bit when he mentioned the time he forced himself to sleep on a factory floor.</quote>

To be fair, thats the exact type of motherfucker who would casually mess with the livelihoods of auto journalists who decided that making fun of him relentlessly was their lives’ mission. 

Were you here when Denton ran shit? I was.

I assume that was just a necessity because of some divorce he was going through at the time but he’s spun it to be about his work ethic.

Can anyone explain what good Elon did/does on the factory floor, sleeping or awake? This dude wouldn’t know which end of a hammer to hold, and if he had a toolbox, it would be all 10mm sockets.

I’m good for him dying on the way back to his home planet.

Musk bought Twitter because he’s addicted to it and he wants total control over it. There’s a lot of kerfuffle about some article about “How Musk can declare war on the ‘global elitists’” by buying Twitter, but I think it’s more that he’s addicted to the dopamine hits he gets from using Twitter to hurt people while…

I listened to the call - the really good stuff is at 48:30.

Steve, I know you haven’t been with this publication for years and years, but there was this guy named Nick Denton, and he relentlessly went after a billionaire, and…
