(Human) summary of this almost one hour long video essay? Seems like the typical "random tech influencer is trying to fuel the fire/drama of today" because of the clickbait title of "NVIDIA: WTF?", so unsure if it fits to be linked here in the first place.
GN is a well established, popular and independent consumer hardware reviewer that has only a few peers on par with them in the space. Hardly some "random tech influencer".
Yeah, Paris Hilton and others are also established and popular, hardly makes them a source of authority. If you publish clickbait on YouTube to add fuel to drama, you're unfortunately digging your own hole and it shouldn't come as a surprise others consider you "random influencers who peddle drama".
I wouldn't listen to Paris Hilton talk about computer hardware, and I wouldn't listen to Gamer Nexus talk about who has the hottest hair in Hollywood. Flip those around though, and that's different.

GN very much loves to fuel the fire lol. He usually does it by being More Correct Than You.
Yeah, that's kind of insufferable, and especially not something I'd like to receive dragged out over an hour. I prefer "More Correct Than You" HN comments over that, so I can read them in 30 seconds instead.
But the situation is still getting worse, and he has influenced customer service policy at many of those places for the better. We don't all have to watch him but he's good to have.
