Oh my god, are we still going on about this?
Yes, we are. For a group that is supposed to be educating people on products, services, and how to use them, they are doing a really shit job at it. Being a dumbass with your own tech (not having file scrubbing setup on your production server for several years) is fine - stupid as hell, but fine, you're only fucking yourself. But when they give people blatantly wrong information, misuse parts, and generally lead viewers astray - intentionally or not - they should be put in the spotlight, every time.
You can get your information from wherever you please, but I prefer mine to be accurate and useful. I'm a disabled dude who is managing tech on a shoestring budget, for home and the family business, and the fact that I know more than just about everyone on their (camera-facing) team is fucking embarrassing. For a seven-digit+ group to be outclassed by a dude with a couple grand a year, holy shit lmao. And the gall and higher-than-thou attitude whenever they get called out. History repeats itself.
I guess like home cooking shows and shopping networks, everything has an audience, but to pretend like they know what they are talking about, and that their viewers should soak up their wisdom, is just disingenuous.
