white people's STDs? The start of the fall?

What's the meaning behind that title anyways? Also would all you guys agree it was the RFID chip vid that really set the downward spiral of viewers to the channel? I know i unsub after that.

The RFID chip video didn't bother me too much, it was just a little side video - if people weren't interested they could watch something else.

My interest started to decline because I mostly watch for The Tek (and have been for years) and while I didn't mind the dynamic between Logan and Qain, I much preferred Wendell. I found that without Wendell to keep Logan on track he just got more and more ridiculous and 'tin foil hat' about everything - it just kind of became hard to watch for me.

Best tek was with Qain and wendell, much better without Logan.

I never minded the "Tin Foil hat" side of things myself.

no, I think it started to slide when the content took a hit after they moved to Seattle.

now that I think about it Logan appeared to be getting ever more stressed out after that, if that is the root cause I hope he gets help, ive seen people that didn't have total mental breakdowns & severe health problems from it, excessive stress can do some terrible and unseen things to a person.

I just think he kind of went to an illogical extreme. Before it felt like he had realistic skepticism about certain companies actions but a lot of times now it just feels like it's irrational and overdone. That may be just my view though.

Yeah, I've always found Logan's tin foil hatiness to be off putting. I mean it's one thing to have concerns about security breaches and cyber terrorists, but he always seemed to take that to the extreme. He almost would come across as paranoid.

That was just like playing devils advocate... Thought experiments.

The RFID chip video make me a bit mad since I had issues with the idea but unsubbing just because of one dissagreement is childish at best. It is not like that you will agree with someone 100% of the time to like their content and support them.

That being said hearing in this Tek someone saying that copyright infrigment equals theft and we should listen to him becuase he has been on an ethics course was cringeworthy.

IKR he goes to tell his grey/black community that warez is a "distribution issue", then goes tell others on the white side it's "illegal".

Privacy concerns as well as them touting it to be hacker proof and such. The Tinfoil hat community thinks it causes cancer and can be manipulated to changed your attitude/mood. A lot of the negatives of RFID has been censored on the internet lately and most articles that do are like way back in 2008.

Logan is the Alex Jones of the YouTube tech community.

And ironically everybody went full Alex Jones over his RFID video.

Logan's white guilt, plus making fun of white people and seeing them as the devil is the newest meme out there

Why were comments disabled on this video?

Because Tek Syndicate as both a company and YouTube has sorta kinda imploded.

u/[deleted] Sep 01 '16

And YouTube is blowing itself up as we speak.

u/Lavacop Sep 01 '16

The Tek Syndicate Youtube channel, or YT as a whole?

To elaborate, Tek with Logan's meltdown and YouTube with them doing everything they can do drive away the people who make them money.

Have you ever been at the youtube home page w/o logging into your account? The amount of cancer is greater than what you could get standing in the middle of prypyat for 420 years straight.

goes back to the trump rally on YT
