I dunno what it is, and I’m not saying the person you’re replying to is doing this, but tons of people seem to throw shade at MKB. Like they think he’s being sneaky or is in any way untrustworthy. All I’ve ever seen the guy do is be honest with his opinions. Yes, he is generally a very tech-positive guy. But he’s not afraid to explain in detail why he thinks a product sucks.
He seems to be the new target of the tech community. They’ve tired of Linus and are moving on to MKB. I find the whole thing tiring. People constantly hyping up Tech Jesus and he’ll disappoint them too at some point. YouTubers are not role models, same as any celebrity.
Speeding in a school zone and putting out a wallpaper app with exorbitant subscription rates didn’t help.
The wallpaper app thing is literally nothing. Don’t like it, don’t subscribe. The speeding is irresponsible and dumb to post. He’s apologized for it. I’m more annoyed that I will hear about it for YEARS now.
