I remember hearing about this guy enough that I was interested so I subscribed, and checked out a video of his once, I forget the topic but the title sounded pretty interesting. This was a few years ago.
Within 3 minutes I had unsubscribed. Why?
Well, he spent the first few minutes of the video being an annoyingly arrogant rich guy whilst also wasting time on things that had nothing at all to do with the topic of the video.
It was when he had his camera man follow him through his house or office or whatever it was, tacky "check out my millionaire crib" style, like a show for kids, and he went into a room, pointed at a big wall of NAS racks and said something like "I've got thousands and thousands of dollars worth of hard drives and I don't even use them! Hahaha", and I was like.... Yeah. Screw this guy.
Some people might like a guy who baits grown up tech viewers with an interesting topic only to then waste their time with childish, arrogant behaviour, but I clocked him as a tosser within 3 minutes and never bothered with him again.
That's just my personal experience, I can't imagine what having to be around someone like that every day would do to a person, my gosh :-(
I don't understand how the channel even got that popular in the first place with Sinus' personality being what it is
Sinus Lebastian? Never heard of that guy.
