    Im gonna be honest and say i think most of his viewers are children or teens that dont have much in the way of life experience. Its pretty clear in just the long term ways he approaches stuff. Its cheeky and fun, sure, but its not a good example of how you do IT, tech or even personal computing. Its often reckless at best and kinda dangerous at worst. Like when he decided he didnt want a generator and decided to try and DIY a central UPS solution with little to no ventilation in a small closet. This was a LONG time ago, but it pretty much a fire hazard.

    He also had a habit of just doing weird shit like mounting UPS systems above the servers, making the rack no only top heavy and possibly a tip hazard, but it allows for things like the UPS battery leaking caustic fluid to ruin the very devices hes seeking to protect…
