I think people should watch a few other videos from this person. His channel is satire.
Not really satire. It's pretty clear when he's serious and when he isn't.
Just because something is satire doesn't mean it is untrue.
Okay, some of his content could be considered more serious. But the overall aesthetic of the channel is clearly satirical in form.
Technically correct, but saying this channel is satire sounds like this channel is a parody and this video isn't meant seriously. It sounds like this channel would do kinda do the same type of content that "Samtime" or "Programmers are also human" does.
Parody is different to satire.
Parody is an imitation of another piece of media or work where you are making comedic commentary of that work.
Satire is using comedy to offer commentary, to carry a message, or to offer criticism about the world.
Yes, like Programmers are also human. That is satire as well, same as Fireship.
It's satire, but it's a different kind of satire. When I hear satire I think of Programmers are also human and his content is completely different than fireship's.
Imo calling his channel satire for his use of comedy is akin to calling TechLinked satire because of their use of comedic quips, heckler, and goofy quick bits transitions. Satire implies a level of irony or insincerity, which I don't think code report falls under. His videos might be comedic but the topics covered are serious and factual.
How about zero.
Clickbait is an act that should be responded to with non responsiveness
Fine don't, but it is not clickbait. It is satire.
