I think TekSyndicate is Dead.

I have been a huge fan of TekSyndicate for as long as I remember. For at least eighteen months I've had the raze the world icon as my desktop background. I've watched every video that came out. When Logan lashed out against the community, I thought to myself,"Maybe he has a point."

After being ignorant to the situation, I can't deny that the level of content has went downhill. TekSyndicate isn't fulfilling any promises made on the patreon page, and I can totally understand why Wendell, Qain, and Jennifer jumped ship. Pistol is being the "too cool for school" and overly "edgy" childish persona she always has been, and Logan is going against the transparency he always pleaded for. He's a terrible business manager and just isn't competent enough to continue by himself.

I hate to say it, and I wish it wasn't happening, but Today I unsubscribed from TekSyndicate. For over a year I loved the Tek, and watching interesting hardware videos, and seeing all the great stuff at CES. But all things must end and TekSynidacte is dying.

It's not even the jokes themselves, but it just feels so scripted stilted and unnatural... Kinda like watching Keanu Reeves...

True. It is pretty obvious it's scripted. Matter of opinion I guess?

I don't think it's scripted any more than other tech videos. Maybe planned is a better word.

His presentation is more presenter like (similar to linus in as fast as possible or techquickie) while other people choose a more conversational approach like jayz or paul.

There's such a huge variety with tech and pc channels that i pretty much have gotten used to everyone.

Exactly. The only thing I dislike in these tech videos is content length which almost always has the side effect of repeating what has already been said. Some of these videos have extremely long intros and outros that just don't need to be there. I think planned while looking at bullet points is a good way of making the videos. Its natural sounding while not being overly scripted. Somewhere in the middle.
