Does anybody here watch ComputingForever?

It's a dam good news/political channel Imo, do any of y'all watch his videos? This is my favorite one.

It really opened my eyes to what's happening in the world around me.

I don't usually watch opinion channels that much anymore (instead preferring news-type media like Tim Pool), but I have watched some of Computing Forever's videos. Him as well as Sargon of Akkad, Blair White, ShoeOnHead, and a few of their friends in the skeptic community.

I respect many of the opinions held by the skeptic community, but the vast majority of content creators I've seen have a very unprofessional attitude that makes it hard to suggest to friends and family. Even though Sargon of Akkad and Computing Forever can make good, clean content at times, because of their rudeness and self-righteousness I can't really say I support them without feeling embarrassed. In the case of Sargon of Akkad, he can also basically be a huge asshole and still somehow feel completely fine afterwards.

Could you explain why?

He's annoying, he reuploads his crap on every video site out there, and his content is somehow almost less insightful than Sargon's is. The video you embedded is a good example.

Computing Forever isn't really bad in my opinion, but he's very opinionated, and most of the time he'll talk about something with a very strong preconceived view behind it. He might not be too insightful, but I don't really want to hear from Sargon very often either because he's also an opinionated source. What I do like is that they recommend only being starting points to a conversation rather than the be-all and end-all of it.

Tim Pool is also opinionated, but I feel like he does a much better job at handling his biases. He looks at issues in more insightful ways than even Sargon, I'd say. He also tries not to take sides when possible, and explains himself clearly and professionally when he does. This makes him much more easily approachable, and so I haven't felt afraid to share one of his videos when I feel it's relevant on a certain issue.
