  The thing with Mark Rober is that he’s definitely by far the most informative and educational.

  Backyard scientist, Alan Pan, William Osman, and others are kinda like high effort engineering shitposts and I love their content as well.

    Most informative and educational? Ok, let’s check one of Mark Rober’s recent videos. Shittube ID 9IiYOTzJ2uw.

    • 00:00:00 Fastest lie on the west. The kid is a paid actor, which is pretty obvious near the end.
    • 00:00:25 Corporate cocksucking of Disney. Continues occasionally throughout the entire video.
    • 00:01:29 - 00:03:05 “experiments” of stuff which will obviously not achieve anything. As if he didn’t learn a thing from the NASA internship he is flexing constantly, like the guy who worked at Blizzard for 7 years.
    • 00:03:06 - 00:03:12 Skipped a plausible solution actually in need of an experiment (angling the damn thrusters) and went to one which will obviously work but not be as close to the target. That’s because he doesn’t actually care.

    I don’t think I need to continue.

  Cmon, look at this fucking circlejerk redirect.invidious.io/watch?v=0aMAHuLxg3s

  Half of them have nothing to even fucking do with a gamejam, the thing they are promoting, like William (well, except until he started getting paid by Anthropic to showcase bullshit code). He is there for the sake of being there and circling money around. Jabrils was supposed to be there but he was one of the few who seems to have caught on and left (although most of his videos are just saying “AI” 16 times in a row (although although the few ones where he doesn’t do that are fun)).

    So they appeared in an ad, for a game jam happening in an event that they all take part in, and William literally created and operates at a loss? And the ad is for a non profit? How horrible!

    And yes, wills video with anthropic is weird, I skipped it.

      in an event that they all take part in

      Open Sauce? Believe it or not, it also represents the interests of the rich. Guess why they are there.

      William literally created and operates at a loss

      Created what? What loss? :.|:;?

      the ad is for a non profit

      So? A NaNprofit it is, yes. With a few million in the bank. It is funded by corporations (previously also Elon Musk until someone on xitter convinced him it’s somehow related to tesla protests, separate story) to promote their products to literal kids who don’t know any better. And they are bad even at that. Ah, and promoting US nationalism: redirect.invidious.io/watch?v=qToD2vf3yPY (note title; you can also see how well they are spending money on video editors here, unlisted for a reason).

        He created open sauce, and has been operating it at a loss.

        That said, this changes my views on hackclub. I really thought that they were a nornal non profit.

        I am not totally convinced that they are marionettes as you put it, but I can agree that they do get paid and therefore suck up to corpos tho. Altho I would say most youtubers do to get sponsored.
