Has Techlore sold out? (lemmy.sdf.org)
submitted 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) by ExtremeDullard@lemmy.sdf.org to c/privacy@lemmy.ml

I like Techlore (https://www.techlore.tech if you don't know) and I usually regard them as one of the most impartial and most trustworthy Youtubers out there. But for the past few months, I couldn't help noticing their somewhat heavy bias towards some of their video sponsors. Still, everybody has to eat right?

This time though, it looks like Synology flew them over to Taiwan, and if you watch their video at the event, it's wall-to-wall Synology shilling. I'm really disappointed.

Why are you defending Privacy Tools so hard here? Literally anyone can look at the website and see within seconds that it is absolutely loaded with ads and affiliate links. The owner sold out years ago, the privacy community moved on and now he's mad that he can't AFK farm money from his shit website. He has absolutely zero credibility and writes stuff like "fuck fame, fuck money, fuck dishonesty" in that post when he himself literally used the fame of his website to make money by dishonestly recommending sponsored shit on it. It is absolutely bizarre to me that you hold this person up as some kind of moral authority and believe everything he says.

Defending ? so showing that Techlore is doing the same thing ( actually way more worse ) means I'm defending PT ?

I'm not going into who's more corrupt than the other, but I can provide a different source, if you think this one is problematic

But yanno why I'm not focusing on Privacy Tools that much...A - because this post is about Techlore. B - Because the project is dead, so what's the point?

his shit website

Using this language means nothing to me, and doesn't effect me in anyway shape or form... I have no gain in the matter.. they can both be down tomorrow, and I wouldn't care

I don't see anywhere in his comment(s) where he says something postive about privacy guides.
