> [...] a bunch of dramatic YouTube content [...] That framing doesn't do him and the team justice. There is (or better, was) a 3.5h long story about NVIDIA GPUs finding their ways illegaly from the US to China, which got taken down by a malicious DMCA claim from Bloomberg. It is quite interesting to watch (Can be found archive.org). GN is one of the last pro-consumer outlets, that keep on digging and shaking the tree big companys are sitting on.

For the record, I think GN is excellent and highly credible.

    Yes. It's hours and hours of rambling.

    Given that Gamers Nexus needs the ad revenue wouldn't linking to a re-upload that wouldn't give them any of that be sort of bad?

      They do not "need" it since that movie was crowd funded with over 400k anyways and AdSense are pittance in comparison. They also have indirectly promoted that reupload.
