i love the two generic handsome white dudes, who the fuck sees that kind of guy and thinks "ah yes that's the ideal source for computer advice" rather than "oh i've never seen those football teams before"

I personally think Mormon or they want to steal my organs and/or my credit card information. But I've got a list of problems and being trusting ain't one, I blame CPS.

Yeah, if the person I'm watching isn't a poorly dressed hobo vlogging himself strolling through the woods, it's shit information.

There's this amazing series of videos I found when looking for some notes and advice for working on my vintage Honda motorcycle. The dude was literally in a shed in the woods, and in between his moments of gearhead genius, he would tell amazing, random stories about his life and philosophies. It was just this guy hanging out in a big shed in the woods, working on old bikes. The videos were like an hour and a half of him just wrenching and dumping wisdom. They only had like 500-1000 views each and I was honestly flabbergasted that he didn't gave some big cult fandom.

I gotta go find those and watch them again. Thanks for reminding me.

I think they are just going with the meta that people tend to click on videos that have faces on the thumbnail. They were just lazy on what face they put on there.

well yeah that's kind of my point, i get putting faces on there but it kinda backfires when that face looks like they'd call you a nerd for even knowing that linux exists
