Ross Scott has an excellent you-are-a-serf expression there.

Then again he usually does.

Who the fuck is that smuglord on the right?

Who the fuck is that smuglord on the right?

A guy who uses tricks to manipulate the algorithms of short form content sites (YouTube shorts and tik-tok) so his content always appears on the front page, which is then used to promote his stream. The advice and content he presents is not bad, just bland and obvious, well except for this caee. In this case he's a game developer himself so there's an obvious conflict of interest, which is why is opinion on the matter is so bad.

It's Thor from PirateSoftware. He's not just a game dev, he runs his own small indie gaming company. So big conflict of interest in regards to this.

So he's like the (more) computer touching version of that Kurzgesagt cognitohazard maker? disgost
