Isn’t the secret service part of Trump’s admin? 🤔

TL;DW: Gamer’s Nexus was contacted by the U.S. Secret Service because of their investigation into Nvidia’s slow corruption. In this vid, Steve and crew dive into how Nvidia is in bed with Palantir, the Trump admin, and the global elite that are fueling the AI bubble. And GN brought RECEIPTS.

The sentence is constructed ambiguously. A better version of that sentence is

Given the topic, it's better if you specify that you're talking about AMD 😄

to donating a massive amount to the Trump/Vance ticket
Gross! This is why their products are so expensive! So they can spend it on child rapists.

More importantly, it looks like Gamers Nexus (no apostrophe) is crowdfunding the deeper investigation that they want to do.
I’m inclined to think contributing to this journalism would be worthwhile.

While I don’t doubt there are considerable skeletons in all these parties closets, I do doubt the GN guy.
GN chases down every possible ounce of rage bait and controversy without fail. A lot of the time it fizzles out or doesn’t stand up to any kind of real scrutiny. My fear is that they are more interested in ad revenue generating clicks than honest unbiased journalism.
We do need a network of publicly funded journalism organizations, but being reliant on google’s tit and under the jurisdiction of US law is probably not the way to do it.

GN’s last crowdfunded investigation into export-controlled GPU sales in China was a masterpiece of modern journalism. I have no doubt he would fail to deliver here.

He blew the doors off of something we already knew was happening.
The sea of coreless and ram-less consumer GPUs is all over the second hand market in the US. We all knew those chips ended up in china. We all knew nvidia was seeking profits at any cost and chinese money is the white whale of many an MBA’s focus (before getting chased out by the party for not being chinese or owned by chinese anyway..)
It would be way more interesting to know if now after china said no more nvidia if the flow of chips is ongoing, but they probably won’t ever cover that.
You also won’t see too much critical of Google on their channel despite it being one of the biggest threats to privacy and safety, for obvious reasons. Can’t hurt the hand that feeds I guess.

Maybe you could mention a few examples of times they got it wrong, what specifically they said that "didn't stand up to scrutiny", and how if at all they responded upon learning about it?

I don’t think he was chasing clicks before. The reporting GN has done has always been very informative and fairly accurate. Including his recent China thing.
That being said, I think since his big documentary he is looking for that same high and I do expect some degredation in quality because of that. Not saying I have seen it yet, but it’s a probable outcome and I’m watching for it.
