"A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on." - Churchill (Apparently he didn't actually originate this, which is quite ironic)
Not actually Churchill of course (and boots rather than pants in most attributions) - this is another one of those old proverbs of uncertain origin that are assigned to folks like Churchill, Einstein, etc. There are examples of incredibly similar wording going back as far as the 18th century, and similar sentiments all the way back to ancient Rome.

Recently, I spent several months collecting parts for a new computer. During this time, I subscribed to several leak channels. Shortly after I finished building the computer, I decided that there was no point in continuing to watch it and I unsubscribed from all these channels. It's just a waste of time. Now I feel better when I see that I'm not the only one who thinks this way.
Best advice is buy what you can have in the NOW and don't wait for the later (unless you are actually on generation release period). Never buy on promises. Upgrading your computer every 4 years or more is fine. RAM is cheap.
Yeah if anything the only channels worth keeping up with are the review channels that are monitoring the state of what is 'currently' on the market & how it's been moving, just to keep tabs on what's actually out there & what you could get with your money today. There's no predicting things like crypto-booms, RAM price surges .etc - whole teams of people paid a lot more money than I'll ever see in my life can't do that & it's foolish to try.
@@Splarkszter yep agreed. I waited 8 years with a GTX 970 for PC hardware to give me the 2-3x performance uplift for the comparable price I've always been accustomed to, & nothing with console-parity was costing sensible money- so while waiting for RDNA2 & Ampere to come down in price, the fast DDR4 I'd been looking at for a year halved in price, quality B550 boards were widely available & affordable, the Zen 3 5600 was available for less than half the launch price of the 5600X, fast Gen4 SSDs which matched that big PS5 feature became widely available & affordable .etc So, the correct time to buy is when there's a worthwhile uplift for your money. If prices are high, the indie market is great, my Steam backlog is huge, so I'm happy to wait.
The worst is when they're so unknowledgeable about technology that they say something which is obvious bs, so they get called out, and then it turns out that something passably resembling their claim did end up being true. So they claim vindication. But the thing they got called out for is a completely different claim, so they're either full of shit and trying to latch onto something to claim rightness, or they did actually have a good leak but they were too inept to actually communicate it usefully. This was a big one around texture streaming (which they didn't call texture streaming at the time), certain leak channels would have you believe that this was going to make high-speed SSDs into extra VRAM, rather than just merely improve their usefulness in certain (mostly open-world) games with techniques not dissimilar to existing industry practice. If they had said the latter we would've probably nodded along, but since they said the former we all called bullshit, only for them to claim vindication when we got a tangentially related thing.
Confidently spewing a majestic, constant stream of horseshit is a whole thriving industry these days for people who want a bite of that internet money pie, but don't actually want to be good or knowledgeable enough on a subject to attract a real, natural audience. Like Philip said, it's making researching any topic at all a major pain in the ass.
I used to get so mad at all the tech channels in the mobile space saying that Apple was going to go portless to evade the EU common charger law. Because anyone that actually took the time to read the common charge for law, or even a summary of it, would have seen the provision that completely restricted that. And yet the bigger channels on CZcams like mhkbd, Renee Richards , John Prosser.... Also confidently predicted that Apple would switch to a portless phone. It was just so frustrating knowing that they were all wrong and then reading the comments and seeing them misinform people in real time at a mass scale. Frustrates me much more to think that this same s*** is happening on much more important issues, news channels. Because CZcams doesn't sustain news gathering anyways, and it rewards nothing but a low effort clickbait and volume over quality.

Searching for information from the internet has become more involved of a process. Google really is only good for very generic non-controversial topics. But when it comes to product reviews or anything someone might have an incentive to lie about, it's all random articles that either don't hold any relevant information or are outright lies.

Easily accessible web like the top google searches becoming increasingly useless white noise no-man's land, where entities fight over the attention of people who have not yet found their niche bubble to get better information from.

3:30 CRUISING THE COUNTRYSIDE. Sorry, as you can tell from my many comments I really like that song. I'm not quite sure why but it sound so vaguely familiar, it has this special quality that I can't pin down but that I still love.
Gamer Meld, Red Gaming Tech, and Graphically Challenged deserve to be publicly shamed by the entire internet at this point. They're almost worse than politicians!
Thank you for calling these people out... I had forgotten about ArdoredTV. Perfect example of this kinda behaviour - the guy talks about public info from tech news sites and presentations from GPU manufacturers and acts like it's cutting edge primary research. In some video about AMD he was genuinely speaking like he had "cracked the master plan and Nvidia had no idea what's coming!!!"... as if any GPU manufacturer wouldn't have their own researchers and analysts but instead got outsmarted by some guy on CZcams! Also GamingBible is pure crap, every article is just like your example of them scraping together articles from nothing.
He used to work for a car manufacturer as a mechanical engineer, not a dealership... MLID isn't even that bad. Red Gaming Tech is the absolute worst and should be avoided at all costs
@@JBrinx18 We've come full circle and are making spurious claims about the leaker channels lol. Also, I think he was involved in sales somehow... I know he's mentioned that he was involved with securing partnerships with other manufacturers for the car supply chain. MLID has his issues, and sometimes I think his leaks are either too obvious, or just not right. That said, I do like his podcast, especially some of the guests he has on. He's consistently got some of the more interesting industry people on to talk about the actual technology behind semiconductors and game development, and his more layman/gaming enthusiast viewpoint keeps the conversation easier to follow than more pure industry shows like semiwiki's production (which is also great).
@@b130610MLID has serious tech bro syndrome: Someone who is very enthusiastic about tech but mistakes their enthusiasm for actual competency that is worth sharing with others
Hey philp i've been watching u and ur brothers for about 6/7 yrs now and i think this is my first comment on ur channel. Just wanted to say u have a special place in my heart and hope u keep up the good work, ur vids are great! I found this one rly funny btw
This is super prevalent in the battlefront community, with some CZcamsrs still sticking around and posting a couple “BATTLEFRONT 3 CONFIRMED” vids every couple weeks
Just like astrology but for tech guys lmao You're so right, I used to watch tyler mcvicker a lot until I just realized it's pure vague bullshit with backed up with some convinient interpretation of a leak
Yep, this is infuriating. It's happening with GTA:VI, any video I see with a suspicious or outlandish claim, I throw into Gemini and get that to summarise it. Works every time and has saved me countless hours.
A very important classification when talking about the historical nature of predictions is that if someone is repeatedly making lots of mundane predictions, then their predictions should not be taken seriously or as prophetic because they're statistically likely to have at least a few hits.
They have gotten better at being more vague and providing plausible deniability when they're inevitably wrong on their 'exclusive' scoops. But that's about it. They otherwise cannot get better, or else it would mean having to get a real job rather than trying to make a living peddling bullshit on CZcams since nobody would watch these channels without their supposed scoops.
me and my friends for years have had issues with people like gamermeld or moores law is dead for quite a while now. these are by far the 2 most annoying out of them all imho
Keep it real, my man. I actively avoid clicking things that look click baity. Though it can be difficult sometimes because sometimes genuine content is hidden behind click bait titles. My time is precious and I don’t have time for pointless BS.
i made a video about this very same topic on my second channel a little while ago called CZcams Promoted Lying. I was so fed up with the constant Titanfall 3 confirmed teasers you see plastered everywhere and needed to vent about it; im oddly glad to see its something that annoys you as well. though it'd make me a whole lot more money if I did become a professional bullshit peddler, knowing it would also make me miserable is thankfully a good enough excuse not to do it
When I finally up graded from my 1060 to the monster 3070, I was watching everything about graphics cards and the new limitations. So many times I would stumble into some Bs channels, the first video I watched gave some info into what the future of gpus can be, then I fell down the rabbit hole looking for proof, and just ended up watching all this GPU slop.
Lovely as always, and honestly kudos for not shying away from naming names! But, it's a bit of missed opportunity not calling this video: * "Other CZcamsrs Hate This One Simple Trick!" Or: * "Why Everyone Is Obsessed with Clickbait: The Scary Reason Revealed!" Or: * "You Won't Believe How These Hype Trains Exploit Your Brain!"
i went down the tech leaker channels rabbit hole a few years ago while deciding on my next purchase. i waited it out and by the time the next gen came out i realized they hadn't predicted anything particularly valuable or interesting. i resented it for a while but i have since come to the conclusion that these channels are sort of the nerd's version of celebrity gossip magazines. they are entertaining in their own way.
5:31 The funniest part about this is that it's not even Half-Life 1, it's Half Life Source being run inside GMod. And part of me is calling doubt on it even being an RTX remaster since it doesn't look like there's any ray-tracing going on, it just looks like a bunch of post-processing effects and a single reflective surface (which Source has supported since day 1) and the modder deleted both the mod and their account shortly afterwards. Which in that case would make it clickbait about clickbait!
I had a lot of things going in my head during the video, getting ANGRY and FROWNING to the news which all made a super big messy blob in my brain that I can't articulate. But I for sure love the way Philip uses Caboosing at the start of the video. The truth has never been important, anyone make their own truth.
I immediately recognized the gamermeld thumbnails lol Dude is even defending himself in the comments of his videos saying that he isn't overhyping and making everything up lol
Good video, both calling this out and highlighting how low effort it is and how difficult it is to combat. Like you said it is super easy and quick to make up lies and very time consuming and difficult to prove things wrong in any sort of meaningful way before the lies have been spread and reached too wide an audience. We've been seeing the same thing in politics for as long as I can remember.
I've been playing on PC for quite a while now, yet I've never been TOO excited for new hardware - especially with how incremental it's seemingly been in the past few years. It'd be like getting excited for new leaks of Xbox or Playstation firmware updates: everything still runs the same and is just buzzwords. Sure, you may get a MAJOR overhaul like moving from the 360 blade layout to the panels - bringing party chat and refining online features (in this case, it'd be Raytracing or accessible upscaling). But most of the time, you get the update and everything's the same. I dunno, I like tech: but I'm far from chomping at the bit for any and all leaks or rumors about how I'll get a zillion frames when I buy the shiny new RTX 5095 Founder Edition
When I see new hardware I get excited thinking about how it will be 40 cennlts the dollar in 2 years. I like to be two to three years behind because that's where the value proposition is
I've noticed that most articles these days claim something in the title, then the first 10 paragraphs are going into all sorts of vapid history, vaguely related to the current topic. Then they'll either actually back up the title or dance around it. It's so predictable that you could immediately scroll on a page and yet find what you're looking for deep down in the article.
With the leaks, leakers and predictions its a lot like being in a brainstorming session in a professional setting. No doubt that a lot of these guys know what they are talking about - and never forget that a lot of the information talked about on these channels are not "just leaks" but also analysis based speculation which is completely different - but like a discussion in a professional setting some will be wrong, some will be right, some will be bad takes which actually turn out true in the long run and some of the most obvious "of course it will be this" thing will go the way of the dinosaur. Opinions can be entertaining, useful and when talked about by those - even leakers - with some form of actual technical / market understanding, well im completely fine with those videos. The issue is not the creators themselves, they are tailoring to a niche that is obviously there, waiting mouth open. The problem is with those that digest it as fact without due diligence and treat comments which are by their very nature subject to change as Gospel. If someone goes to the wild west and buy snake oil and fools gold thats on the buyer.. change the behaviour of the consumers and it will force the providers to adapt.
i stopped being able to take games journalism seriously when one of the biggest gaming magazines here in germany posted an article titled "mario kart 9 is coming, this will be in it!". figuring that maybe i missed something, i took a look. only for the article to be about one reader's wishlist for MK9. major news, everyone!!

we need a plugin like sponsor block that blocks those garbage channels from popping up.
I also trolled the "leaker" adored tv by sending him "big navi leaks" haha he actually made a video and deleted that video later but it got reuploaded by someone named fakeman.
😂😂😂😂 tell me more! This is just too good
@@luizarthurbrito i also wrote a code at the end something like E/ a / t/ W/ q and told him not to show it because i planned on sending him more fake leaks from different email adresses so he knew it came from me but he deleted the video later because he found out i used model numbers from igorslab that he used in a video but not on his website so google search didn't show any results but someone told him about the video XD but i had archived what i wanted and that was to proof that these "leakers" are all fakers, anyone can send them anything, as long as they can make a video out of it it's fine for them, they wanna make some money out of it.

3:30 CRUISING THE COUNTRYSIDE. Sorry, as you can tell from my many comments I really like that song. I'm not quite sure why but it sound so vaguely familiar, it has this special quality that I can't pin down but that I still love.
I wouldn't mind this channel becoming a little bit more of a hardware/benchmark channel, your videos on those topics were always the best
Gamer Meld, Red Gaming Tech, and Graphically Challenged deserve to be publicly shamed by the entire internet at this point. They're almost worse than politicians!
Thank you for calling these people out...
I had forgotten about ArdoredTV. Perfect example of this kinda behaviour - the guy talks about public info from tech news sites and presentations from GPU manufacturers and acts like it's cutting edge primary research. In some video about AMD he was genuinely speaking like he had "cracked the master plan and Nvidia had no idea what's coming!!!"... as if any GPU manufacturer wouldn't have their own researchers and analysts but instead got outsmarted by some guy on CZcams!
Also GamingBible is pure crap, every article is just like your example of them scraping together articles from nothing.
Your style and content is soo good and original! thank you!
CABOOSING! It's been so long D; oh how I've missed it
You're videos are beyond satisfying to watch. You got the formula down pat
in retrospect it makes so much sense that Moore's Law Is Dead is working for a car dealership...
He used to work for a car manufacturer as a mechanical engineer, not a dealership... MLID isn't even that bad. Red Gaming Tech is the absolute worst and should be avoided at all costs
@@JBrinx18 We've come full circle and are making spurious claims about the leaker channels lol. Also, I think he was involved in sales somehow... I know he's mentioned that he was involved with securing partnerships with other manufacturers for the car supply chain.
MLID has his issues, and sometimes I think his leaks are either too obvious, or just not right. That said, I do like his podcast, especially some of the guests he has on. He's consistently got some of the more interesting industry people on to talk about the actual technology behind semiconductors and game development, and his more layman/gaming enthusiast viewpoint keeps the conversation easier to follow than more pure industry shows like semiwiki's production (which is also great).
@@b130610MLID has serious tech bro syndrome: Someone who is very enthusiastic about tech but mistakes their enthusiasm for actual competency that is worth sharing with others
3:12 The way you said "bullshit" is so funny, I love it
That little jitter when you edit in the next page of search results is yet more proof that Phillip is a real human bean
Hey philp i've been watching u and ur brothers for about 6/7 yrs now and i think this is my first comment on ur channel. Just wanted to say u have a special place in my heart and hope u keep up the good work, ur vids are great! I found this one rly funny btw
How
links or channel names for his brothers'?
@@Flank.Sinatra.it's literally just 3kliks and kliks channels
@@piscessoedroen aren't those 2 also his channels?
@@Flank.Sinatra. "brothers"
This is super prevalent in the battlefront community, with some CZcamsrs still sticking around and posting a couple “BATTLEFRONT 3 CONFIRMED” vids every couple weeks
cant get on any hype train nowadays theres a strike

@@macksnotcoolWdym? It’s burger40
The sheer number of articles/videos I encounter about "What GTA 6 will/won't have". So much garbage, and all with massive viewership.
See the real cure to this is to just stop paying attention to most tech news or become a skim master.
This is, unfortunately, how mintblitz makes me feel
I was so hyped for this video
Just like astrology but for tech guys lmao
You're so right, I used to watch tyler mcvicker a lot until I just realized it's pure vague bullshit with backed up with some convinient interpretation of a leak
Man woke up and chose violence
Yep, this is infuriating. It's happening with GTA:VI, any video I see with a suspicious or outlandish claim, I throw into Gemini and get that to summarise it. Works every time and has saved me countless hours.
Thank you for the sanity.
The iPhone 20 will be the best iPhone yet.
these gpu tech people spend more time worrying about numbers than finishing any games
i cannot stop looking at the lower right corner since you told us
Forgot the channel names but the cod zombies community had a handful of these during bo3, it was infuriating
A very important classification when talking about the historical nature of predictions is that if someone is repeatedly making lots of mundane predictions, then their predictions should not be taken seriously or as prophetic because they're statistically likely to have at least a few hits.
Every time I click one of these videos I think "maybe they've improved?" and I'm always wrong. Impressive.
They have gotten better at being more vague and providing plausible deniability when they're inevitably wrong on their 'exclusive' scoops. But that's about it. They otherwise cannot get better, or else it would mean having to get a real job rather than trying to make a living peddling bullshit on CZcams since nobody would watch these channels without their supposed scoops.
it’s over.
we are so back.
me and my friends for years have had issues with people like gamermeld or moores law is dead for quite a while now. these are by far the 2 most annoying out of them all imho
This kind of rampant citogenesis will lead us to the heat death of the internet.
Keep it real, my man. I actively avoid clicking things that look click baity. Though it can be difficult sometimes because sometimes genuine content is hidden behind click bait titles. My time is precious and I don’t have time for pointless BS.
Worst part is if you for some reason watch it you have a hard time removing it from the recommended videos.
i made a video about this very same topic on my second channel a little while ago called CZcams Promoted Lying. I was so fed up with the constant Titanfall 3 confirmed teasers you see plastered everywhere and needed to vent about it; im oddly glad to see its something that annoys you as well.
though it'd make me a whole lot more money if I did become a professional bullshit peddler, knowing it would also make me miserable is thankfully a good enough excuse not to do it
When I finally up graded from my 1060 to the monster 3070, I was watching everything about graphics cards and the new limitations. So many times I would stumble into some Bs channels, the first video I watched gave some info into what the future of gpus can be, then I fell down the rabbit hole looking for proof, and just ended up watching all this GPU slop.
I was really confused at the first part of the video then I realized I was watching a kliksphillip video
I dont know why i think this, but you have a great voice to be thee stanley parable narrator
Lovely as always, and honestly kudos for not shying away from naming names!
But, it's a bit of missed opportunity not calling this video:
* "Other CZcamsrs Hate This One Simple Trick!"
Or:
* "Why Everyone Is Obsessed with Clickbait: The Scary Reason Revealed!"
Or:
* "You Won't Believe How These Hype Trains Exploit Your Brain!"
Tyler Mckvicker lmao
The same applies to AI bros.
i went down the tech leaker channels rabbit hole a few years ago while deciding on my next purchase. i waited it out and by the time the next gen came out i realized they hadn't predicted anything particularly valuable or interesting. i resented it for a while but i have since come to the conclusion that these channels are sort of the nerd's version of celebrity gossip magazines. they are entertaining in their own way.
Cold hard facts are my kind of entertainment.
5:31 The funniest part about this is that it's not even Half-Life 1, it's Half Life Source being run inside GMod. And part of me is calling doubt on it even being an RTX remaster since it doesn't look like there's any ray-tracing going on, it just looks like a bunch of post-processing effects and a single reflective surface (which Source has supported since day 1) and the modder deleted both the mod and their account shortly afterwards. Which in that case would make it clickbait about clickbait!
The train's smoke is going backwards 😭😭
I had a lot of things going in my head during the video, getting ANGRY and FROWNING to the news which all made a super big messy blob in my brain that I can't articulate.
But I for sure love the way Philip uses Caboosing at the start of the video.
The truth has never been important, anyone make their own truth.
Talos Princible 2 is released! Best sequel
Couldn’t agree more!
shotouts to that duck
This is literally as described in the end of MGS2...
The buzzfeedification of everything.
Only for these things I wish something like a link tax would be a thing, so that they can't be linked and they can't link others.
I immediately recognized the gamermeld thumbnails lol
Dude is even defending himself in the comments of his videos saying that he isn't overhyping and making everything up lol
This is so accurate, my feed is just like this and Ive watched a few, always 10 minutes wasted xd
Its just funny that i unsubscribed from almost all of them before seeing this Video.
Good video, both calling this out and highlighting how low effort it is and how difficult it is to combat. Like you said it is super easy and quick to make up lies and very time consuming and difficult to prove things wrong in any sort of meaningful way before the lies have been spread and reached too wide an audience. We've been seeing the same thing in politics for as long as I can remember.
I've been playing on PC for quite a while now, yet I've never been TOO excited for new hardware - especially with how incremental it's seemingly been in the past few years. It'd be like getting excited for new leaks of Xbox or Playstation firmware updates: everything still runs the same and is just buzzwords. Sure, you may get a MAJOR overhaul like moving from the 360 blade layout to the panels - bringing party chat and refining online features (in this case, it'd be Raytracing or accessible upscaling). But most of the time, you get the update and everything's the same.
I dunno, I like tech: but I'm far from chomping at the bit for any and all leaks or rumors about how I'll get a zillion frames when I buy the shiny new RTX 5095 Founder Edition
When I see new hardware I get excited thinking about how it will be 40 cennlts the dollar in 2 years. I like to be two to three years behind because that's where the value proposition is
caboosing my beloved
I used to be the hype train believer until I noticed the old videos getting deleted and getting banned from the hype train leak community forums
I've noticed that most articles these days claim something in the title, then the first 10 paragraphs are going into all sorts of vapid history, vaguely related to the current topic. Then they'll either actually back up the title or dance around it. It's so predictable that you could immediately scroll on a page and yet find what you're looking for deep down in the article.
CZcams may try to fix the situation with yet another categorization (special mark) for speculative channels - if they really really wanted to
Impossible to fight against this
You won't believe what I found out about Ricochet 2
BlockTube takes care of it all for me. The "algorithm" is completely mine now.
With the leaks, leakers and predictions its a lot like being in a brainstorming session in a professional setting. No doubt that a lot of these guys know what they are talking about - and never forget that a lot of the information talked about on these channels are not "just leaks" but also analysis based speculation which is completely different - but like a discussion in a professional setting some will be wrong, some will be right, some will be bad takes which actually turn out true in the long run and some of the most obvious "of course it will be this" thing will go the way of the dinosaur.
Opinions can be entertaining, useful and when talked about by those - even leakers - with some form of actual technical / market understanding, well im completely fine with those videos.
The issue is not the creators themselves, they are tailoring to a niche that is obviously there, waiting mouth open.
The problem is with those that digest it as fact without due diligence and treat comments which are by their very nature subject to change as Gospel.
If someone goes to the wild west and buy snake oil and fools gold thats on the buyer.. change the behaviour of the consumers and it will force the providers to adapt.
at around 2nd minute you sounded like Wheatley in a good way
i stopped being able to take games journalism seriously when one of the biggest gaming magazines here in germany posted an article titled "mario kart 9 is coming, this will be in it!".
figuring that maybe i missed something, i took a look. only for the article to be about one reader's wishlist for MK9. major news, everyone!!
Finally, someone shitting on Gamer Meld
Broken clocks are never right.
Sorry partway through I forgot we were talking about tech because it’s almost a word-for-word disavowal of most of the BS fields in Forensics, lmao. It’s the same playbook for a lot of “expert witnesses,” especially body language “experts.”
The next 3kliksphilip video will be a MASSIVE improvement over the previous one!
(and will be released VERY soon)
you should look into dearrow! not *every* video on youtube with a clickbait title is affected, but for most large channels titles are simplified & all the klikbait is filtered out.
2:00 didn't know adored was still around, I remember getting caught up in all the hype garbage from that channel.
hes not
He did quit at one point, then tried to reinvent himself as some weird spiritual faux-intellectual clown, then when that failed, tried to briefly come back as a tech tuber again, but has mostly disappeared. I do not miss that guy's heavily put on voice one bit. lol
