#32I guess this is what they are doing with all YouTube drama revenue they generated earlier this year?
They didn't generate anything, but they did capitalize on the self inflicted LMG drama
how is that self inflicting? dude made a hour long video intentionally trying to start drama and get views lol. if he sent an email there would be no drama its definitely not self inflicted. but hey i mean drama was the main point. good for him hes good at what he does

i would say the same about wordpress and joomla, unless it's statically generated it'll suck. The issue is regular people should be able to administer the site and add content to it. So drupal seems like a reasonable choice. with regards to other things mentioned - youtube-nocookie should have been used but other than that i don't see a problem? edit: drupal 10 is already out and they are still using 9 and not even 9…
> The issue is regular people should be able to administer the site and add content to it Why not markdown + static site generator?
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.

They didn't monetize any of those videos, nor did they include "silly" jokes about their stores thinking it was a good idea, nor did they make "silly" sex jokes.
I assume they monetized everything after it though (yes obviously they did). You can turn off monetization on a video and still benefit from drama.

anyone got a tldr of drama?
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 prod…
> that had loaned them it to test
No they gave it to LMG to test, then asked for it back which is the source of the miscommunication
