The only one that I unsubbed to pretty fast was the 8bit guy. I generally enjoyed his videos and then in one of them, he had a fairly rare IBM PC and for some reason, he sticks a screwdriver into the power supply and blows a component.
But what really turned me off was when footage of him turned up on Reddit, taken by himself, of shopping in a place like Costco with his assault rifle on his back. I think he was taking pleasure in scaring some of the customers too.
(I think I've remembered that correctly)
Anyway, never went back to his channel after that.
EDIT: I found this Reddit page where someone asked what he did. Didn't realise that was 5 years ago now!
What the fuck
Smashing that unsubscribe button now. Like, fucking ew dude, don't fucking open carry at Costco you numpty fuck. Ugh...
You make a good point. I should really unsubscribe from all US content.
I remember the backlash he got from that with the IBM PC prototype. He didn't handle the reception well if I recall, having made one big or two 'woe is me' videos.
There's something about that guy's demeanor that I never liked, like he fits the quirky, socially inept, wimpy kind of a nerd. It's astounding he even has a wife at all, much less one he fucked to have a kid with.
He never shuts up about his crappy games too.
That video was the exact one that made me stop watching him too. Hadn't heard about the rifle thing, what the fuck
I still cringe about the moment he used a Dremel on that old prototype because he couldn't be bothered to get the correct screwdriver
Jesus. I always thought that guy was a shoddy self-centered Texan dweeb who always did totally half-assed projects, but I had no idea the extent of his shittiness as a person. People who treat weapons like toys are the last people who should have them.
I used to love that channel. Such a shame.
Oh, I always sensed something was off there. Oof.
Yup, that's the video that made me instantly done with him. I have Adrian and his Digital Basement to get my vintage computer content and unlike David, Adrian actually knows what he's doing and doesn't wreck his computers.
What a fuckwit.
Just unsubscribed as well.
