why would somebody downvote this?
While Gamers Nexus does some decent work, he suffers from what a lot of youtubers suffer: clickbait titles, sponsored segments, unnecessary long videos, etc.
Some find this so annoying, that they downvote this kind of content.
Also that asus scammed gamers nexus is not that relevant for most of us. I am not saying its irrelevant, but there are bigger news.
I believe Steve has said that he hates the title/thumbnails too. But Google’s algorithms heavily incentives them, so he reluctantly uses them while maintaining the good quality content.
I can understand with what youre saying, and to each their own tastes. However, id like to point out that asus tried to get them to pay 200$ for something that wasnt broken is something that is relevant to us as consumers. Specially since they started the investigation after a lot of people started mailing GN about their issues and… questionable practices
Emphasis on him suffering. The algorithm is incentivizing YouTubers to adhere to this meta. GN isn’t trying to mislead us, it’s just how the job is structured.
Didn’t watch, did you?
Yes, they reported the first hand experience because they can vouch for it completely. But they also have hundreds of people who contacted them - often with evidence - about Asus being dishonest and deceitful.
In one of those people. I’m glad the word is spreading. Asus RMA really is that bad, too the degree the company just needs to die.
Dearrow solves this. I can’t use YouTube anymore without it
Yeah, I use Clickbait Remover, Sponsorblock, Improve Youtube (or ImprovedTube), Distraction-Free Youtube, Return Youtube Dislike, and of course, Ublock Origin, to make Youtube work well for me. That’s 6 extensions, 5 of which are about Youtube only. 5/11 of my extensions are for Youtube Only.
For anyone curious, the others are enhanced-264-ify, User Agent Switcher, Dark Reader, Brave Search and Tabliss.
Never heard of it, but I’ll check it out. Thanks!

Where’s the article?
The videos get tuned into articles on gamersnexus.net after the fact, so check there in a few days.
Thanks, but I’m saying that if they posted a link to an actual article instead of just a video, they maybe wouldn’t have been down voted
One day soon, AI will be cheap enough and good enough that people will produce YouTube videos and AI will summarize the videos into well written, succinct articles with appropriate images and cited sources.
AI will just throw in hallucinations and misinformation. This is not a replacement to a human writing an article
