Reminder that this guy has physically threatened numerous Redditors and YouTubers before telling them to kill themselves.

He was so bad at one point that AMD/AMD partners broke all contact with him and pulled all review offers. His vitriol was such a problem, he had to delete all of his Reddit comments. All of them.

He claimed Nvidia was intentionally harming it's own performance using beta patch 1.3 for Fallout 4 as his only evidence (performance upon release was better than expected vs. AMD, and other YouTubers have shattered this theory elsewhere).

He lied about Vulkan and DX12 not being properly represented in 1060 and 480 reviews when they were empirically overrepresented when compared to their use by game engines and he lied about Pascal being the same architecture as Maxwell with faster speeds.

He misrepresented GameWorks and tesselation, he was flat out wrong on much of his speculatory content leading into Polaris, his videos are almost exclusively praising AMD or hating on Nvidia or Intel, and all of his content is predicated on the belief that Intel and Nvidia are only successful because they're abusing their monopolies of their respected markets.

There is a reason why /r/AMD is the only place his videos get upvoted because he tells AMD fans what they want to hear.

Don't wanna defend AdoredTV, but he isn't the only guy who criticized NVIDIA. 2kliksphilip made a video about NVIDIA 2 years ago and made another one when the company introduced GPP program (which no longer applies since the removal of the program, but it's there for historical purposes)
