That’s fair enough. If you lead with this I wouldn’t have commented. I agree his recent videos have been more sensationalist, I just thought this one was pretty good, especially for the non-technical crowd.

I think you’re being pretty reductive here.

I agree his videos are usually mediocre, but as a cyber security professional I actually think this one did a good job of simplifying and explaining computer security fundamentals at a level that most can understand.

You and I have a ton of extra context that the average person does not, so that Wikipedia article might suffice, but the video covers far more than that Wikipedia article.

They clearly did more research than just reading that article, and they went to the trouble of reproducing some of the steps in the attack to demonstrate the danger it posed. This isn’t just a brainless regurgitation of the Wikipedia article as you’re implying.

Land of the free lmao
