Welcome to the New GamersNexus Website v5.0: A Message (opens in new tab)

markdown makes sense for things like documentation, but with these sites like gamersnexus i think there are some issues

1) how do you migrate all the existing content from joomla (which they do want to migrate) - would it be in some terrible html only format? would it be a mix of html and markdown?

2) how do want to use markdown for articles like https://gamersnexus.net/features/inside-collapse-artesian-bu... ? it would be highly customized markdown anyway, and the more markdown additions are, the less markdown makes sense anyways since portability becomes an issue

I think their current approach is fine - render once and cache is pretty normal. With that being said less is more and I hope they did not implement a lot of plugins or custom code that would require maintenance every other php/drupal upgrade.

What I would like to see instead is using svg graphs with high accessibility instead of just pictures.

That still doesn't explain what's wrong with it.

when it was? 20 years ago?

That's a pretty tortured definition of tracking. Your IP gets leaked when using any third party service.

There is no evidence that any of those listed use your IP for advertising purposes.

Because Squarespace sponsors almost every Youtuber and apparently pay quite well.

LMG made a series of videos with significant errors that weren't corrected showing a sloppy work ethic. There seems to be a lot of workplace pressure and overwork. The main issue however was that they auctioned off a prototype GPU waterblock from a small company that had loaned them it to test after agreeing to send it back. LMG completely butcher the review putting it on the wrong GPU model and then slammed the product when it didn't work and GamersNexus reported on it all. In response Linus wrote a horrendous forum post failing to acknowledge they did wrong containing a bunch of statements that within days were determined to be not true. Ultimately they ended up a few days later with all the senior staff in a video explaining how they would fix their culture and they froze making videos for a while.

There is also a sexual assault claim as well from an ex employee, its not surprisingly now being handled by lawyers and we haven't I think heard of a resolution to that.

From vague memory; he did something dumb and doubled down on it?
