Some of this stuff is misleading. One picture is of a CED. The picture of the "player" when he discusses Pioneer branding the format of "LaserVision" is of the Pioneer LaserRecorder, which isn't even compatible with "LaserDisc". Ugh.

Holy cow, that was terrible. His bald skinny a** just stares right into that f-ed up lens and he talks and talks and talks very authoritatively about things he probably only just learned about in a Wiki minutes before recording...and you have to see two ads to pay for it?

Thanks for the warning. I’ll be sure to be careful to avoid this guy’s videos in the future.

[edit] Jeez. I just noticed he does Patreon in addition to YT ads and personalized spots. What a...lady of the night...this guy is.

He also spelled Laserdisc wrong. Not a big deal, but that’s the sort of thing that you’d check before releasing something that 24k people will see and watch ads during that will eventually dump money in your pocket.

This is a pervasive phenomenon. Some of the other manifestations are insanely horrible.

The showing of a CED and calling it laserdisc made me cringe hard.

Then DVD came out and LD died.

I couldn't watch more than 30 seconds of this guy, I guess I'll have to start videos of stuff so I can get massive hits from watchers even if I'm wrong in my stuff.
