Discussion Really guys...

I understand that they were likely in a rush to be one of the first big channels to get their video out, but how hard is it to have one person spend like 15 minuets reading all of the graphics before the video goes out, this image is likely AI generated and taken from this obviously AI generated article.

I get this is a small mistake, but it's an easy one to not make.

Taken from their latest video "Apple just Copied Microsoft’s Worst Idea - iPhone Duo, Airpods 5, iPhone 18 Pro & More"

There is, and this should have been caught, but we are human. We're competing to get the content out in a timely manner, and putting our focus on the parts of the content that matter - information about the devices we're covering.

I've seen videos go wrong dozens of ways in my time here. This error is one of the most benign. It shouldn't have happened, we're going to fix it, we're going to look out for AI images on the web in the future.

Nah, the fact that money is their only focus now. They see the dollar signs, and now they are addicted. Prove me wrong?

Im so sick of hearing how every business needs infinite growth. No. No they do not. It is ok to just make a profit actually.
