I watched this earlier, great coverage!

Not a lot of people trying to defend consumers in media right now. Glad they’re doing something about it.

Especially not a lot of influencers willing to bite the hand that feeds them. That’s 23k going bye bye because they’re opted to give us a honest look at this abusive model instead.

As usual, GN willing to get in there and dig things out.

Renting a PC is insane in itself but on such terms it’s even worse. I hope the FTC or some other regulatory institution will look into this.

I went into this video expecting it to just be “this service is poor value” or “we had an issue with customer support” but holy shit this is far worse than I expected.

This is real journalism. A lot of research and effort clearly went into this. They even hired a lawyer to go over some things with them.

This is definitely a scam from NZXT. And kudos to this channel for cancelling a $23k ad agreement with NZXT when they found out about it.

There is a reason people call him tech Jesus. Man’s company/ channel is doing the journalism and work we should expect from all major news outlets.

If you wanna support Tech Jesus. I sent them 10 bucks with the donate option since the only couple of products I liked were sold out.
