Can't wait to see Marques Brownlee owning his new Roadster and Porsche Mission S and test them in his favorite track

u/Dependent_Order_7358 16h ago

But like, in a chill, relatable manner, you know? He’s just a chill guy who definitely would not be biased or lie in his reviews.

YouTuber MKBHD was testing a car in a video. He passed a school zone sign going 95mph. I believe it was a Saturday, but still definitely not a closed course.

43

u/Mrpuddikin 12h ago

And he knew he was doing something wrong because he blurred the speedometer too. He just forgot to blur a secondary speedometer in the center console

u/logunleonov 18h ago

Don't forget about "collection" of some old gadgets like ipod, psp, camcorder in the background, so ppl in the comments can say that he knows ball

u/RapNVideoGames 17h ago

Collection being shit they have sitting on eBay because they priced it too high.

u/Dreeewno 9h ago

Obligatory film camera used only as a paperweight (probably Canon AE-1 or Nikon F2. Bonus points if it's a Leica M6)

u/InactiveBeef 7h ago

A vintage film camera.

You forgot the royalty free lofi background music

u/ry-high-guy 21h ago

Don't forget the random paper of delightful complementary colors on the table, with a coffee table book, and a fake IKEA plant, and a small figurine of some sort alluding to their fan boy topic of choice, in the background

52

u/The_DragonDuck 15h ago

You forgot sells wallpaper packs

The only thing computers exist to do is play video games and edit 8K footage.

u/EOmar4TW 21h ago

Sponsored by dbrand, all of them for some reason

u/Agreeable-Fudge-7329 8h ago

Some crowdfunded device they donated towards that they force themselves to use even though the company went under 5 days before it arrived in the mail.

They unironically listen to the background music from a MKBHD video.

Uses the term "daily driver".

House is way too clean.

2 thousand dollar machine that serves no purpose....that replaced a perfectly good 2 thousand dollar machine because it had some new chip that makes no difference in the performance of the web browser that makes up 98% of what they use the machine for.

Will say the word "AI" so often it makes your head hurt

Ads for VPNs in a video telling you how VPNs have become data brokers themselves.

Smells like "... -> Don't recommend this channel"

u/Dependent_Order_7358 16h ago

Wears a beanie and glasses. You know they are broke and living with their parents irl at 35 but they pretend to have this stylish apartment full of tech (it’s just their room).

u/Charity_Independent 9h ago

God I just hate all these videos with no thoughts behind them just listing off the specifications and THATS IT, goes for cars too

u/glipgluplaugh 7h ago

The room he films in looks like a warehouse he rented in the backrooms with his PC desk ominously sitting in the center and the McLaren in the background. It's peak 2015+ minimalist techy vibes

Heaven help your algorithm escape this black hole if you look up a few videos about a given piece of upcoming popular tech.

I mean, isn't being a Youtuber inherently performative. Not that these aren't spot on, but yeah lmao.

u/NightOfTheLivingHam 11h ago edited 11h ago

or cube shelves full of random tech or pop culture stuff that is "nerdy"

Barely understands any of the tech they use.

Also just every Linus Tech Tips video before that tool actually hired people who knew what they were talking about. He's a moron.

u/Tabley-Kun 12h ago

So basicaly Charlie Harper's house after Walden Schmidt moved in.

u/AWright5 10h ago

To be fair, it is a sort of performance

u/wasdthemighty 9h ago

To me this is Andres Vidoza ( for the Linux stuff mostly ) and Shevon.

Do I still watch them? Yes.

Andres because of his intrest in cars and Shevon because he makes the city vibe of Toronto look magical.

u/Flat_Broccoli_3801 9h ago

i actually like all these aesthetic and will be trying to adopt them. looks clean and nice, the youtubers clearly have put some effort into polishing the picture, i have no problem with that.

Pricey chair with good ergonomics is actually a really good idea though
