all these people always were or have become insufferable. Most disappointed in Dankpods. rebbitors gassed him up so now he panders to them and the content has suffered immensely.
AvE at least isn't shilling random bullshit constantly(other than his own merch) in his videos, they're just boring. When AvE starts posting weekly crap with upcoming power tools and electronics and TVs and cars and shit, instead of the occasional random video farting around with some generator he bought at a government auction, I'll lump him in with the rest.
Has DankPods ever taken sponsorships? He goes out of his way to thank his members and Floaties for paying him enough so he doesn't have to shill for anything.
I get the feeling it's more a case of Dank being less interested in the main channel and concentrating more on Garbage Time, kinda like when Matt Groening lost interest in The Simpsons and focused on Futurama.
Well there's the time he "reviewed" a $3000 pair of meze emperyan mii headphones with what looked like an affiliate link in the description a few months ago, the time he got sent a $5000 pair of meze headphones a couple years ago by meze
Oh yeah, I remember now. The Meze stuff integrated so smoothly into his usual content, I didn't even notice.
Yeah, the LTT connection is unfortunate, but I can't see him ever going full Linus (Aussies hate that sort of shit). That, and Floatplane was a necessary evil after Twitch stopped paying him because copyrighted music in drum streams.
Hardly. I've lost count of the number of times he's complained about shitty Chinesium tools he's bought and how hard it is to find good tools he can buy instead. It's not like Garbage Time is Mighty Car Mods, which is full of product placements for brands like Ryobi and Castrol, not to mention all the aftermarket parts suppliers and service providers who aren't acknowledged as sponsors but are almost certainly offering in-kind support to MCM.
There's more going on than shitty chinesium hand tools. The space, the lift, tool chests, etc. not all sponsorships and shilling needs to be as direct on youtube. It wouldn't be different than his other channels either, with the gaming one being the only one I'd believe doesn't get some corporate cash or product at some point. Even the LTT thing, being in Linus' videos is a benefit to him for promoting floatplane.
Guy goes from fixing busted old MP3 players and general consumer crap you'd get at a Best Buy, to suddenly promoting $1000+ niche audiophile headphones in multiple videos is a hell of a shift and he'd probably take more if he could get them.
I'm glad I don't use reddit or discord. Shame AVE is a slave to the fake internet points; he seems like a smart guy (but he is canadian.)
I would have liked Meze to be actually worth it, since it is from Romania, but unfortunately I think it's overpriced and not technically impresive. Most peoole would by it for looks and comfort.
Sounds like people who hadn't yet figured out that the brand and audience are shit, but are in the process of doing so.
You can tell Linus' arrogant incompetency has been rubbing off on Wade. He's has become noticeably more frustrated, short-tempered, and dismissive of stuff in his more recent videos on the main channel. Feels like it's phoned-in, bare-minimum effort to maintain a consistent upload schedule over anything else. You can really feel it in the recent nugget dips and especially the "free camera" vid. At least he seems more like his old/normal self on Garbage Time
Yeah, the main channel content seems to have lost its spark as of late. Burnout?
tbh I wouldn't be unhappy if DankPods' main channel went on hiatus for a while, so Wade can recharge. He seems to genuinely enjoy Garbage Time (even if his cars give him the shits). Working with James probably helps.
I didn't say it was. I said that having a manufacturer of expensive headphones sending him product for free and supporting doing giveaways of product and having referral codes is shilling. just because you and some other people like the guy, doesn't change what he's doing.
He's a failed music teacher and a drummer. I don't know how he got the following he has, his videos have always been mediocre.
Who's the fat kid who interjects? One thing is he mentions (around 20min) is the nVidia comparison, even though GamersNexus, Be8auer and others have openly talked about nVidia pushing for certain types of reviews and, in the case of GN, even threatening them with no longer providing engineer interviews for videos. So LTT is literally trying to defend their shit-reviews that favor nVidia, which means they have sold their integrity for special treatment.
I'm pretty sure they fucked up and didn't bother to white balance the scene. Yellow wall, warm yellow light on the side,, all of the white shit on the wall to the left has a slight yellow tone, the beige/yellow phone, yellow album cover in the rack on the wall, yellow text on the ammo box. It's a weird scene in general. Even the little teapot or whatever it is on the shelf to the left has a yellow tint.
His name's Elijah, he's one of the newer faggots that got hired a while back. His rotting teeth are the least of his worries, the guy's fucked in the head and hates himself so much he got a vasectomy to prevent his bloodline continuing.
