I like GN and Steve a lot and think they are ridiculously good at tech/data-based as well as consumer rights activism.
This… it is a fun video (if you like Steve) but he and his team are not qualified to talk about this topic. It is the same obnoxious youtuber “I am going to make forty jokes per minute and say every single quote in a nasty voice to show how bad they are”. Which, again, is fun but doesn’t convey much useful information and mostly just serves to spread “vibes based” news and borderline misinformation.
Most of the stuff on GNCA is pretty good and this kind of coverage is great for a quick blurb during the news show. But 27 minutes that doesn’t convey much (meaningful) information beyond a tweet… yeah.

Steve is a master at writing a script with so many words that says very little. I like a lot of the content but I gotta take it in small bursts.
