People actually giving death threats over a video? Lol “I’m gonna slit your throat because of your video”
Lol that’s fucking insane.
Ahh, the wonders of internet anonimity.

People that issue death threats for shit like this are absolute trash excuses of humans. That said, DF is trying to double-dip here, sychopantically hyping a product unreservedly and then acting like they still have the credibility to act like objective critics. What a joke.

There’s a German trash-TV YouTuber who’s doing some really high quality parody instead of reacting. He once said that he got 2 death threats so far.

While actual death threats are abhorrent for a topic like this, I’m beginning to wonder if they are not overstating things. DF is not known for their intellectual integrity.

I agree. While DF have always had the technical computer knowledge of the average iOS user, that doesn’t excuse death threats (if they even actually receieved any and aren’t just making the claim up for sympathy reasons) of any kind.
They made their hype video, now they make their pseudo-intellectual analyses to try to appeal to both sides of the equation: fanatics of and against DLSS. The problem is, they never had any credibility to begin with. None of their “technical” videos are detailed enough to be anything more than surface level overviews, which to the average iOS user makes them seem like geniuses, but anyone with real technical knowledge can see that they only know enough to be dangerous because they think they know more than they do.
