  • From the very first video in glorious… Was it 240p? Well, since the very early days he’s had this great vibe of an edutainment program with the host being a metallic alien with holograms and stuff, and it’s definitely part of the appeal. You claim he could get more followers by dropping the whole gimmick, but I have to question how many regular viewers he might lose if he stops it.




  • If the quote is accurate, he went a step further and put pirated games on the devices. Even if pirating the game is legal in some way (he owns it legitimately so putting a copy is fine or something), sending such devices out to customers then means he’s also distributing pirated games.

    That said, somebody in the comments claimed he didn’t distribute games, but rather software that made it easy to pirate games - I don’t know what the precedent is for that being considered illegal, but it does call the original claims into question.









  • Another counterpoint: When you start implementing all that dummy proofing, you make the software more and more tedious to work with for people who know what they’re doing.

    I think it’s quite obviously an issue that needs balance. Some software is meant to be seamless to get started with, so that users can get something done once in a while, some software is meant to be used long-term by professionals and requires productivity. And yet, many people jump on anything they don’t immediately understand as bad UX.
