Is there any source for this information that doesn’t constantly attack industry allies and content creators in adjacent channels, that doesn’t have a bombastic and self-aggrandizing view of their role in the cosmos, and that knows where to find some hair clippers, or at least a ponytail scrunchie?
Every video I ever tried to watch of him made me cringe, and I get that we are imperfect vessels deserving of grace, but I’m just not here for all the ambulance chasing and weird factional tiffs this guy kicks off seemingly recreationally.
Weirdly purist about his reviews too, his approach to hardware would ice out so many of us, but I’m not going to trust him to meaningfully democratize access pretty much ever.

edit2: keep going, folks! -30 karma on a post asking for citations is a personal record for me, and I’m sure we can get me to -100 if we try hard enough! All it took was being out of alignment with the groupthink and disliking a self-indulgent YouTube character, and sharing my bad (but very importantly, they are not dangerously harmful) opinions aloud.

He is conflating a couple of ideas: a push to make the consumer dependent and the overall collapse of the industry to sell you hardware.
The key points are rising costs (tarrifs, uncertainty, AI demands changing manufacture to HBM (high memory bandwidth) instead of consumer RAM. Only 3 companies control 90 percent of all ram.
Then there was consumers who saw all this coming and horded and purchased a lot up front, creating a demand that suddenly collapsed, which is an interesting additional problem. Largely consolidation to the larger vendors, as smaller ones had a rush and then quick decline in sales.
But the most interesting part of the conversation is about right to ownership, right to repair, and licensing with services. Corporations are pushing hard to define hardware as “software in a box” and require licensing. There are a lot of published papers on this.
The confluence of the hardware shortages (not just for hobbyists, but also in all consumer devices) is causing a rise in companies pushing for low power cheap devices connected to their licensed services. In order to maintain a profit they are now incentivized to use software locks, subscriptions, and centralized cloud services.
There it is in a nutshell.
Solutions? Open-source, local first hardware, diversification of the hardware chain. Several fabs are coming on line but it will take some time.
Dude, I appreciate the ever-loving f*** out of you actually taking the time to compile this, and a site sources. This is genuinely what I was hoping to get out of the thread ( all of the haterade was just… An unhealthy bonus, I guess?) And I’ll be diving into those links.
I sometimes feel torn about these kinds of market consolidation issues, because it’s certainly not Samsung or skhynix’s fault there are no at-scale fabs from first party American brands, and that both until and AMD did everything in their power to reduce domestic production and spin off their own Fab facilities for literally anyone else to manage wherever possible.
It’s Red Lobster and every other Private Equity managed restaurant chain becoming a real estate holding company, just with a lot more electrons.
But it’s not like TSMC or SK Hynix did this to us, and it’s on all of the consumers to keep the board partners and oackagers honest.
Thst said, I tend to think consolidation is universally bad, absent any nationalization of infrastructure, and my country has this same nightmare playing out with its housing as Blackrock and other equity groups have make a clear effort to force all of us to be perpetual renters.
We in this thread are likely universally in agreement about the problems at hand. I respect that you cut across my bullshit and everyone else’s to actually bring citations and thoughts. Cheers.
That’s right, anyone with a perspective different than yours is clearly broken and incapable of rehabilitation!
edit: it dawns on me that if I only answer with snark I’m not doing any better than the people that are just attacking me. Perhaps it’s worth defining terms so that we can argue more clearly about the subject. I apologize if you already know all of this and I’m just trying to get on the same page, here.
For most products that you and I want to run in our tech stacks, we are relying on packagers, whether that’s software or hardware i rely on someone to make my shit accessible and useful to me. Skhynix or TSMC has some teeny tiny silicone stack roll off the line, I can’t just cram that into my tower or phone. I need a company like PNY or EVGA (rrrriiiiippp) to actually wrap those up with cooling components and distribution lanes, and interfaces, which allowed them to run with all of our cool devices based on industry standards.
The thesis for a lot of our community these days, and for sensationalist ambulance chasing video publishers, seems to be that every board partner has grown to be a Mustachio-twirling villain, as if ASrock or BeeTech just simply hate their user base.
From where I’m sitting, I can see material costs for these most basic components in our systems (the storage and memory) are likely going to double and triple the bill of materials going into my gear, as the Barabones version is my yesteryear PC has gone down in price, but buying my variant has increased by at least 30%.
I would entertain a conversation of grand conspiracy and villainous collusion, but not if I have to sit through three and a half hours of everyone’s favorite neckbeard droning on in front of his camera while I desperately wish that I could My Little Pony the shit out of his straggly mane of hair, brushing him out for hours.
I walked away from giving Mr Nexus any viewership whey he started going after the jugular on adjacent tech channels, often the ones who actuary explained the mechanics of board partners to me first when I was younger.
I have always focused on, and advocated for, low-watt competing and with an emphasis on gaming. I cared more abut Atoms than Threadrippers, and have not bothered with purists that works trek new that everyone needs the best of the best.
My interest is more in accessibility than anything else, which is why I’m absolutely f****** thrilled and delighted that we now have Chinese silicon vendors looking to flood the zone with cheap DDR4 and slower DDR5.
But through it all, if we find out that, as a wild counterexample, " making the next iPhone in the domestic us would make each unit cost $30,000usd" for instance, that means that our smart devices never actually only cost $1,000. It means that we have all been comfortable with subsidized devices and sponsored exploitation under the surface."
If the labor the crafts are things, from fabrication, to packaging, to distribution, cannot operate with the cost of labor, services, and materials, then we should absolutely expect prices to spike horrendously.
But for most folks supply chain woes aren’t about human rights abuses (unless they happen to hate a specific brand, the way that Foxconn critics would lambast apple but not sony or microsoft, and the same one facility complex in Shenzhen might be manufacturing iPhones, PlayStations and Xboxes all at the same time).
To bring together my big, haphazard, stupid point:
Conspiracies can exist, and I would be interested to hear analysis around Market collusion from literally any other source on the planet, I don’t believe Everyone’s Favorite Burke would be the only voice to promote this issue and I don’t trust his track record of cherry picking and sensationalism to actually arrive at a serious conversation about equitable distribution of our technologies and equitable valuation of the labor that goes into it. Instead, I expect more selective outrage, and I expect people won’t read past my criticisms if one man, but will continue to fail to bring anything worth reading and discussing to this forum. You know, the table where we read and write and discuss.
Thst, or I’m just a “broken human” – and what does that say about you, if I’m what you see in your own team, here? These communities are what we make of them.
People like you make me cheer the corpos on. Well not really, but I often wonder why I need to champion the asshats. And people upvote your useless comment.
While the channel is making money and supporting Google. Way to go smarty.
If people like me make you even consider cheering the corpos on, then you don’t actually care about anything other than outward appearance, and your allegiance and opinions mean nothing, because you just like whoever has the best PR.
What, should Steve just also start his own video streaming or distribution service?
You’re gonna say that using a corporate tech platform to expose corporate tech bullshit… well in this case, that’s bad, because, capitalism is still happening?
Would you prefer a much tinier number of people be able to see this content?
Do you value ideological purity over broad dissemination of information?
Lemme know when your LORA meshnet video streaming network is up and running, you know, nationwide, globally.
Blah blah blah. You had zero reason to give that other person a bad time about finding him difficult to watch. So you said they were pro corporate, although it had nothing to do with anything. Meaning you are just busy being an asshat and have nothing to contribute. Which makes me realize just how many people are like you that jump straight to being a dick and don’t really care about anything.
Which makes me go why am I caring about you again?
And yes, I do think you should stand up to your principles and get off you tube. Google is just as much part of the problem, quit supporting it.
They already admitted they’re a corpo yuppie. I just pointed out their misplaced guilt complex.
I’m being an asshat performatively to serve a purpose: bullshit detector.
Yeah I jump straight to being a dick when I get a strong whiff of out of touch privileged bullshit.
You’re still responding to me because you were lying earlier when you acted like I wasn’t worth responding to… thus I hit a nerve somewhere, you can’t handle someone being rude to you.
‘Blah blah blah’, anyone bringing up points you don’t like being brought up is dismissible… because they were rude to you.
See how your ability to evaluate situations just… you know, hinges on how polite someone is to you?
You said I was contributing nothing.
No.
I contributed something, you just… couldn’t comprehend it.
But I do respond to insults in kind, old man.
Anyway yeah, thanks for your boomer advice, I’ll be sure to tell every single left wing or consumer advocate, you know, every actually anti corporate streamer or creator on youtube to just, you know, stop doing the youtubes, because they can just get their information from…
… uh … the … public… broadcasting service?
Oh wait that basically doesn’t exist anymore.
Does Democracy Now cover tech news very in depth?
NPR?
Whatever, the kids are wrong, somehow.
(ps you can use youtube without giving them any data or money or ad views or anything if you understand a bit about web browsers)
They already admitted they’re a corpo yuppie. I just pointed out their misplaced guilt complex.
No they didn’t. What are you making up now?
You didn’t contribute anything. They asked where else can I see this. You jumped up like a petulant child with nothing to say and had fun pointing fingers. Then had the classic “boomer” rant, you are checking all the boxes.
Oh well, thats what I can expect from a YouTube Shill. You want convenience over actually giving a shit about corporations. You want attention over discussion. Why are you so deep in googles pocket?
(ps you can use youtube without giving them any data or money or ad views or anything if you understand a bit about web browsers)
No. Participation is consent. Which you would know if you were not such a child.
Considerate of you to defend me and others in this community.
I’m allowed to criticize and despise the Man Who Owns No Scrunchies and I’m allowed to be dead wrong about it. I can do so, out loud, and without insulting people in our community.
They are technically allowed to downbote me into oblivion and a few will pile on with the sophomoric insults.
I appreciate that your tact is to recognize that this is a community of real, breathing people, and the tyiu call out the consequences of one hitting way harder than the consequences of the other.
I’m often reminded that, just like subreddit, these are OUR communities and that they will become what we make of them. We have the power in our hands to completely tear down our own teams.
I think we both could be rather curious what building it up looks like, instead.
I got what you are saying and there is nothing wrong with asking for a different view of the same information, or other formats.
I found the reply to you so off putting because any ally would likely say something to guide you to more info. Instead you get shouted at. Like WTF.
So each person who upvoted that makes me really question why I am here at all, they contributed nothing to the community except to try and ostracize someone. Even if you were on the fence about the content, what good would that do? Do they actually give a shit, or are they just trolling?
Beginning to think I’m deeply wrong, and that this place just isn’t for anyone outside the (albeit decentralized yet obviously prevalent) groupthink.
I’ve never seen so many people line up to glaze such an unprofitable human outside of r/conservative/conspiracy. Never imagined it’d hit a nerve saying “I don’t give this one creator viewership.”
Next, I’ll find out they’re mad I still watch LTT.
It means you’re very superficial, and attacking credibility by means of criticizing image and style, a misdirect.
What, do you want an E3 booth babe from 2004 giving you a 30 minute version?
Its original reporting.
They did interviews.
With tons of people… in the industry.
Its a double feature length documentary expose.
There are no alternative sources in this case, because him and his team do original work that no one else does.
If you think Steve is … being needlessly mean, to other dipshits in the space, whom he meticulously documents his well reasoned grievances with…
If you finding him generally ‘cringe’ inducing… inspires you, out of the goodness of your heart, to… consider that all people deserve some grace, even this strangely purist… ambulance chaser…
You have some kind of a parasocial problem, or, you’re just actually one of the people he’s criticized, or you’re in their friend group.
Frame setting? High School level insults used to present yourself as a reasonable truth seeker? Wildly out of touch taste compared to most people actually in the space?
Yep, common tactics and traits of corpos and parasocial obsessive fans alike.
You’re trying to degrade investigative journalism by way of Mean Girls tactics.
You’re using too many buzzwords to not come across as either an insider or one who seeks their validation via emulation.
Eh, call me names all you like. I worked my career in logistics and don’t have the industry ties you credit me with, but kudos.
Coincidentally 2004 was the only E3 I ever got to attend. I was an LA resident and another student in the grad school where I was an undergrad had a spare media badge.
Today?
I don’t let Newscorp or MSNow into my home, I don’t eat Nestlé product, I don’t let Mr Nexus get my clicks, I don’t know who half the “influencer” personalities are but I don’t call them journalists no matter how many lightning bolts they put in their thumbnails and intro sequences, and I don’t have any qualms about drawing the lines on what I consume.
I hope you get what you’re looking for. It won’t be with me.
Is there any source for this information that doesn’t constantly attack industry allies and content creators in adjacent channels, that doesn’t have a bombastic and self-aggrandizing view of their role in the cosmos, and that knows where to find some hair clippers, or at least a ponytail scrunchie?

But the most interesting part of the conversation is about right to ownership, right to repair, and licensing with services. Corporations are pushing hard to define hardware as “software in a box” and require licensing. There are a lot of published papers on this.
The book The End of Ownership: Personal Property in the Digital Economy published at MIT press and completely free to read, gets into the details, even though it was from 2016, it still applies today. https://direct.mit.edu/books/book/4662/The-End-of-OwnershipPersonal-Property-in-the
Another good resource is this paper: Restrictions on Use in Digital Services Contracts: The Legal Implications of Licensing vs. Ownership Models https://www.etd.ceu.edu/2025/ahmadova_shabnam.pdf
The confluence of the hardware shortages (not just for hobbyists, but also in all consumer devices) is causing a rise in companies pushing for low power cheap devices connected to their licensed services.

There it is in a nutshell.

Interestingly pc shipments in general are expected to rise again, see here for various links: https://gigazine.net/gsc_news/en/20260411-pc-market-2026-q1/#gsc.tab=0

He talks with people from cooler master, hyte, gskill so I suppose that is where the source information is coming from.
but do you have an X link
only first hand sources from elon count
Muskrats. Gross.

I mean, in later replies to me that dude literally called himself a troll and admitted he just needed the attention.
I like to think you and I can have a moderating effect around here, over time. :)
It’s when the group can’t handle having vocal dissidents that I start moving towards the exits.
that dude is literally one of the few people fighting against corpo overreach
the fuck are you even talking about
Lol. Which Corp am I simping for, when I don’t want to give the youTube neckbeard-in-chief viewership?

I hope you get what you’re looking for. It won’t be with me.
Ok, you have a parasocial problem, good for you.
You’re the one that started with the insults.
You’re not gonna gaslight anybody into forgetting that.
I just parodied your level of critique, and hypercharged it.
You went for the bait.
It’s called trolling for a reason.
Anyway yeah, your age isn’t that hard to approximate, you’re an older Gen Xer or younger Boomer, you know, a yuppie.
I’m so glad that you getting rid of cable TV and Nestle signifies that your’re not a corpo, after a career in logistics.
It ain’t left your bones or your brain yet, you’re just overcompensating for your guilt.
… and I’ve already got what I wanted from you.
Lol, you’re off by about twenty years! But uh, thanks for at least owning up to being a troll.
This is a horrible way to try to be in community. Good luck out there, tiger.
