A few days back I watched a SomeOrdinaryGamers video, in which he states to drive a Tesla car, despite expressing the obvious privacy concerns surrounding the built-in camera system; but doesn’t seem to consider the privacy-impact to those around the vehicle, he chooses to drive through public streets. And another example being Rob Braxman, while ironically, both known to frequently criticize other public-facing, internet connected surveillance systems (like Ring for example).
If it was “just” a cabin camera, staring you straight in the face every time you drive your car (and you’re somehow okay with that), it would still be a terrible look in context with your channel content, but at least it is contained to you personally. But knowingly driving these surveillance nightmares on wheels through public streets, subjecting others to that surveillance, while you represent pro-privacy channels online, is just inexcusably hypocritical to me. But perhaps it might just be me, so what are your thoughts?
I watched SomeOrdinaryGamers for a few years and it became quite uninteresting near the end of that period. I stopped completely when he told his audience not to buy Nintendo Switch 2 and went ahead and bought it shortly after. That guy is not honest or genuine.
I’m not a big fan of the channel either, but the channel keeps getting featured in Invidious’ feed; leading me to sometimes watch a video of his, often to gauge the opinion of him, and more importantly, a large chunk of his (seemingly impressionable) audience.
He’s a charlatan who claimed he was an engineer
