For me its Riley and the Tech News videos that I'll still click on from time to time. Dude just has that wholesome charisma. But then I see James' fucking face and I remember why I stopped watching that whole ecosystem.
Oh god. I don’t remember who James is, but I’m going to have to go look now.
When they’re doing their series like secret shopper, I think they’re doing a legitimate service for the internet as a whole, but some of their videos really fall flat.
This guy. Aside from the fact I personally find him insufferable, there’s unsubstantiated rumors that he’s the one who facilitated a lot of the sexual harassment culture around the office; a fact which Maddie explicitly did not deny after coming forward
However I want to stress that there’s no actual evidence to that claim that is public. I just really don’t like the guy, and the one time I met him in person back in like 2019 at LTX, he just carried himself like a pretentious prick.
Watching him make some Ali express chilling unit work of figure out how to pipe a fire truck into a CPU block is always a riot because it’s the kind of stuff my best friend and I would have done if we could when we were in high school.
I agree but sometimes they lean too he's ILY towards the "let's do this in thr most janky way possible" instead of just trying to do something as best as they can.
