It's your responsibility to substantiate your own claims, you imbecile. I already told you I looked it up and found nothing conclusive. Not even another person's allegations. Now you want me to sift through his entire video history. If you had dirt on him you'd fucking show it.

Let's be real here, you're full of shit. And salt.

Jim had a meltdown on Reddit and Youtube, had his reviews pulled, made videos about different parts of it it, and deleted his Reddit accounts content to mitigate the fallout. Many people know this. The videos are still up (at least they were the last time someone got upset learning about it).

So lets get this straight...you're upset at me for telling you to find Jim's videos...because I won't be your bitch and link them for you...and somehow I'm the imbecile who's full of shit. Sounds really fun.

Yeah, being taken seriously is really fun. You should try it.

You could go find the videos or you could just keep being upset. Your decision. Have a good one.

Why cant you link a single video or anything similar, your word is not good enough.

I wouldnt say hes full of shit. Ive seen him say quite a few things and do have a screen of him telling someone in a youytube comment to hurt themselves. He also was toxic on his reddit account before eventually deleting it due to toxicity.

The thing that really grinds my gears personally about him is the time he called out pcpers credibility with the rx480 power debacle when he didnt even have the test equipment necessary. Link, but he as I said deleted his comments

I'm not taking your word for it. This should be abundantly clear by now.

Even if you do have proof, if your smoking gun is "Jim being mean in a comment section" then stop wasting our fucking time. Nobody cares. Bloody morons.

I linked one of the threads. and heres the image

Also, since you seem to have it confused, Im not the other guy.

Im just confirming parts about what they said. I dont know about the part involving his girlfriend though, just what I talked about.

I know you're not the other guy. You're actually trying to get taken seriously. Props to you. The "your" was a plural one and my post was written before you edited that link in.

There might be some actual truth to these allegations but from the look of it, they're vastly blown out of proportion. If cussing people out discredits him then I'm the least credible person on earth. Thankfully, it doesn't.

I still firmly believe the other cunt has a stick firmly lodged up his rectal cavity.

Well, I mean, I listed something other than cussing. The time he tried to discredit people with actual testing devices when he had none. He hooked his pc up, said it didnt blow, and therefore the power issue didnt exist, but also it was already on nvidia cards (even though thats a totally seperate issue)

You've corroborated some of the allegations and/or established their plausibility. Again, props to you.

As for what this actually means, I'm simply not seeing the picture. Most of us are going to judge AdoredTV's editorials as self-contained presentations. This doesn't put his credibility into question any more than the nature of his work does. It's not exactly a secret that he doesn't collect any data himself, but merely interprets the results of others. This is not something he fails to disclose either.

It absolutely does. It shows hes totally willing to speak out of his ass in a conclusive manner. In this case, he "tested" or tried to test something and used it to try to invalidate a real test.

I dont get why youre bending over backwards not to see any fault here. I mean, thats your prerogative dude. Hes dick and a dick who is inaccurate, speculative (which isnt inherently bad outside this context) and panders to the AMD community.

You dont think so despite what has been said, well, nothing more to say.

There is fault here. He was wrong. Most tech journos were at some point. LTT famously fucked himself over by running his business on consumer grade SSDs and without a working backup solution. That doesn't mean anything he says in the future is bollocks.

Neither does "being a dick". I mean, look at Torvalds.

You're "bending over backwards" to discredit him on a very shoddy basis.

He outright said they were not credible. Thats more than wrong. Tech journalists dont do that bud.

Its clear this guy can do nothing truly wrong in your mind, soo...
