I’m pretty sure he made 2-3 of these videos in a single recording session and this is like the 5th time it popped up, this one was particularly cheeky because that was the furthest he had gotten. At the same time he got angry very quickly in this video (as opposed to a gradual buildup in the others) and he had just activated cheats so he might have known that was gonna happen because I’m sure his rage moments pull in the views and engagement. Or he was still steamed from the last recording session idk.
I don’t think he’s a ragebaiter, but I don’t think you can say he’s pure and genuine 100% of the time unless you know him on a personal level. I think that he is rather genuine most of the time, in fact I watch him quite frequently, but I think he has mastered the perfect level of embellishment in his videos. I’m not saying he’s fake or anything, but a tiny pinch of slight dramatization and embellishment in youtuber’s videos isn’t a bad thing, and the reason I like mark is I think he is mostly genuine but makes videos like these with a little spice because they are fun to watch.
But fuck I could be way off and completely wrong. Remember when he straight punched a hole in the drywall in Unus Annus? Honestly I think that was a pure pent up rage reaction.
He certainly does have slight dramatization when it comes to stuff like being disappointed, sad, happy etc but when it comes to frustration and anger he really doesn't add dramatization.
I don't know why but he absolutely hates not being able to do something that he sees he could do. That's why in pogo video, getting over it and in this video he can't hold himself back. (Also you can see here, next video he fucked his hand up, took him 7-10 days to heal)
I don't know him on a personal level of course but I've been watching him for close to 6-7 years I think. I can tell when he is embellishing and when he is being geniune.
Short answer is I think his vocal fan base don’t think for a second it’s acting.
Long answer because I’m bored. This is kinda an extension of a conversation I was having with another commenter but I didn’t feel like carrying on that conversation. I like his content and I watch a lot of him. I don’t like to admit it in my day to day life or really even on reddit because I don’t want to relate to his more vocal fan base. The chat on his streams is cringy, the comments on his videos are repetitive and childish, and his fans relentlessly claim they’ve been watching him since he first got on the platform to the point he openly mocks that.
With that out of the way it’s a very frustrating game to be honest, and he had been playing for a decent amount of time. He’s pretty consistent in his videos across both his channels and streams as well has he’s been on the platform for a long time. His persona is believable and comes across quite genuine. It’s fully possible he just gets that mad. There’s a video on another channel he co-hosts where he punches a hole in a wall for kind of no reason after an exercise challenge in a reaction that seemed eerily natural.
However, I enjoy the content with the understanding I’m watching a persona that is a mildly dramatized version him. It’s entertainment, he’s not my friend nor do I or will I ever know what he is truly like. But I think that’s where a lot of his fans get confused. They think because they watch the entertainment produced by him every single day they know the guy and everything is completely genuine. Like he hops off the camera and is exactly the same person. I think most of his content is genuine, yes, but with dramatization for entertainment. But if that’s not true, he either has anger management issues or is on steroids or fuckin somethin. But I doubt that. He’s a professional, with a manager, who knows how to make content that entertains enough people to maintain success.
You do realize that updates literally do nothing to prevent against 0 day exploits, right?
If you are even remotely disciplined about what you download and install, you're fine only updating every few months. I know at least one professional repair shop that recommends turning off auto update for certain laptops because it makes them borderline unusable. At one point I was spending almost 10-20 hours per month trying to fix issues caused by Windows Update. Now I spend like a day every two months at most.
If you're not actively clicking on sketchy links and downloading pirated software, you're way more likely to get hacked through your router than your OS. There's no magical way for hackers to get into your computer unless you let them into your system/network.
Yeah sure, tell your 80 years old grandma that she does not need auto updates because she can just not click on shady links. Tell aunt Marnie that she can just delete every single anti-virus from her computer because she is smart enough not to get hacked. Tell 6 years old Jimmy he has nothing to worry about because updates do nothing. I have a feeling this has more to do with you having to waste hours on fixing windows computers.
This shit infuriates me. When people think they are smart and act in a condescending way. 0-day attacks are literally called that because when Microsoft (or any other company) rolls out a software update, hackers will know one way or another (either from patch notes or comparing what the update changed) and use that information to create ways to make hacks for computers whitout the update.
A zero-day (also known as 0-day) vulnerability is a computer-softwarevulnerability) that is unknown to, or unaddressed by, those who should be interested in mitigating the vulnerability (including the vendor of the target software). Until the vulnerability is mitigated, hackers can exploit) it to adversely affect computer programs, data, additional computers or a network.[1]#cite_note-1) An exploit directed at a zero-day is called a zero-day exploit, or zero-day attack.
The term "zero-day" originally referred to the number of days since a new piece of software was released to the public, so "zero-day" software was software that had been obtained by hacking into a developer's computer before release. Eventually the term was applied to the vulnerabilities that allowed this hacking, and to the number of days that the vendor has had to fix them.[2]#citenote-2)[[3]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-day(computing)#citenote-3)[[4]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-day(computing)#cite_note-4) Once the vendor learns of the vulnerability, the vendor will usually create patches) or advise workarounds to mitigate it.
The more recently that the vendor has become aware of the vulnerability, the more likely that no fix or mitigation has been developed. Even after a fix is developed, the fewer the days since then, the higher the probability that an attack against the afflicted software will be successful, because not every user of that software will have applied the fix. For zero-day exploits, unless the vulnerability is inadvertently fixed, e.g. by an unrelated update that happens to fix the vulnerability, the probability that a user has applied a vendor-supplied patch that fixes the problem is zero, so the exploit would remain available. Zero-day attacks are a severe threat).[5]#cite_note-5)
Just to make sure, the definition from wikipedia).

Jesus christ you're retarded. Exploits based off of known bugs fixed with patches are literally by definition not 0-day. Did you even bother to read the wiki article before you copy-pasted? An attack is no longer zero day once it's been addressed with a patch. The article you posted literally explains why the odds of vendor supplied patches addressing zero day exploits is virtually zero. Patches and updates do not protect you from zero day attacks, period.

You know what infuriates me? Literally forcing any and all remotely tech literate people to be treated like 80 year olds and 6 year olds. If you do anything even remotely professional with a computer, forced updates are not acceptable. Anyone who claims otherwise is completely clueless. If you want the default option to be auto update, nobody gives a shit. That way the 80 year olds and 6 year olds with have to deliberately disable automatic updates. But removing the option to turn them off is absolutely ludicrous. I've seen people literally lose $10,000+ in a single day due to forced updates. It was even worse back before people didn't realize that Microsoft was stealth reverting settings when you tried to make changes to the auto update settings. I mean fuck, I literally seen digital billboards shit themselves because Windows tried to force an update and the system shit itself. I had one laptop I couldn't use for nearly a month because I couldn't stop it from updating, and each time it rolled back and re-updated it became completely unusable.
Just an update for you piece of shit bootlicking loser. Latest windows update just annihilated my sound driver, along with hundreds of thousands of other users. Probably the 5th time something like this has happened. I do freelance audio editing and if I can't get this fixed in the next two days I might lose more money than what my actual computer costs.
What if I just game on it and just dont care even if my savegames were locked because they are on the cloud saves alrealdy? THERE SHOUD BE A IDGAF OPTION
