    At this rate Steve is going to end up offed or cancelled in some kind of way, he keeps digging deeper.

      They are running a drama/scandal focussed channel. Of course they are going to be controversial at times.

        Not really. Reviews and weekly news are still their bread and butter. They do a few of these deep dive investigations per year.

        And they do very detailed reviews.

            Yeah, it seems to be a personal mission for Steve, and he seems to be going a bit harder on them as well. I remember the fan controller fire risk thing was like 2-3 videos, each about 10-20 min, whereas recent “investigative journalism” pieces are more like 1-1.5 hours, and the details seem a bit more spread out.

            I appreciate what he’s doing, I just wish it was a little less dramatic, but I guess that sells clicks and views.

          The way they are phrasing things is very sensationalist. They are very much not doing dry, factual content. This probably is required to make a profit, but too me is still drama.
