I think that was more a case of "we need a PC build video, they're trending right now... ...hey Josh, you know about computers, right?"

- Causality1 6y agoYou need to be an elitist to object to someone building a PC in a way that doesn't work and voids warranties and then fixing it during jump-cuts without telling the viewer? You need to be an elitist to take issue with the Verge using takedown notices to attack everyone who pointed out their failures?
