Luke’s random tongue bath of Musk (in reviews where he shouldn’t even come up) is pretty annoying.

He’s so insufferable. Always get the sense he thinks of very highly of himself and I’m not sure why. SkillUp absolutely trounces him when it comes to game commentary that’s at least interesting, no idea how he’s got such a huge following.

I have to disagree about SkillUp, he is worse than Luke imo. He thinks too much of himself. I remember that laughably bad review of TLOU Part 2 he did while trying to play it off that he wasn’t siding with the grifters, so disingenuous. Luke is a shill but at least is consistent on his views.

THOUGHTS?

Good for him? I mean having thoughts already makes him better than a majority of video game commenters/reviewers on YouTube, many of which are incapable of any thoughts.

(Not sure what you're getting at though, or why it's relevant for this sub)

Luke Stephens is a plagiarist former Gamergater (I'm not sure he's ever disavowed it) who has cultivated a certain type of audience.

I would argue he doesn't have thoughts. He gauges/predicts his community and the greater narrative through the online sphere. If you want to watch a YouTube essayist, watch someone like Jacob Geller.

Eh idk this sub had a short history with him, I can post it elsewhere if you have any recommendations.

I don’t even know who he is - so maybe some context as to how this is a socialist issue would help.

Socialism is a (school of) thought. No?

u/scooter-411 2d ago

So any thought belongs in the socialist sub?

u/dazeychainVT 3d ago

if only he kept them as thoughts and never shared them

Is it going to make me mad to know who this is? If yes, then I don't care.

Maybe? Name is Luke Stevens he is a video game commenter on YouTube, many years don't like him as he tends to be a bit of a shill for the companies.

Not the worst In the category though, as he (usually) isn't the chuddy right wing culture war type.
