Comedians really need to stop using that line to justify being putzes, as it ignores the fact that they have a very real influence on people's perceptions, and therefore the decisions they make and the overall trajectory of society.
Every media personality needs to recognize this responsibility, regardless of whether or not their content is intended to be "serious."
"It's just a joke, bro." Yeah, well your "joke" is actively harming the development and adoption of one of our only potential ways out of this duopoly of walled gardens.
The channel description says
and that seems about right from the handful of videos I've watched. He spends a lot more time mocking big tech firms than poking fun at Linux.

The intention is to mock everything in tech. He mostly mocks big tech, but nothing is immune.
