  • I guess his flavour of tainment just doesn’t jam well with me. Like I said, it’s not the subject matter, but the content just feels needlessly padded. Compare this to videos by Tom Scott, CGP Grey, Matt Parker, Steve Mould, etc. Those videos are far more dense with content It reminds me of how mythbusters gets so much better once you take out the narrator and the endless recaps…

    Regarding clickbait - to me a title this one is just another symptom of that disregard for the viewers time. Being coy and mysterious about the subject matter to lure people in. And yeah, hat’s probably why it works.

    I agree that the production values are incredibly high. But I just can’t stand being treated like a simpleton who needs drama to be tricked into watching videos, it feels very patronising.








  • I guess there’s a market for it nevertheless, because in stoked for the new pebble steel. I’m still wearing mine every day. I checked out the Bangle, but compared to the pebble it just looks like a cheap kids toy to me. At the same time, other good-looking smartwatches are either neutered in functionality, or send all your data to the cloud (or both). Also: yay, physical buttons instead of just touch screen!

    This reboot is amazing news to me.
