I like Techlore (https://www.techlore.tech if you don’t know) and I usually regard them as one of the most impartial and most trustworthy Youtubers out there. But for the past few months, I couldn’t help noticing their somewhat heavy bias towards some of their video sponsors. Still, everybody has to eat right?

This time though, it looks like Synology flew them over to Taiwan, and if you watch their video at the event, it’s wall-to-wall Synology shilling. I’m really disappointed.

      There’s no pretending… if you actually click the link the first video is about the practices or Techlore, so I’ll make it easy for you :

      The rest of the article, talks ( with proof ) about the betrayal of Jonah Argon, changing the website license for example…

      got butthurt when people created better alternatives that actually gave genuine advice instead of ads.

      Really ? Sounds like a very childish thing to be mad about… Especially when you realize there are many websites and blogs that are written by experts

      I’m not trying to be funny, I’m saying what happened, and simply don’t trust Techlore because or the lack of ethics…and going after the cash grab… What kind of Privacy minded individual drives a Tesla? Uses Apple hardware? Promotes proprietary solutions?

      genuine advice instead of ads

      Techlore literally said buy my course so you’ll have an ad free experience… And PrivacyGuides covers surface level stuff…

          Defending ? so showing that Techlore is doing the same thing ( actually way more worse ) means I’m defending PT ?

          I’m not going into who’s more corrupt than the other, but I can provide a different source, if you think this one is problematic

          But yanno why I’m not focusing on Privacy Tools that much…A - because this post is about Techlore. B - Because the project is dead, so what’s the point?

          his shit website

          Using this language means nothing to me, and doesn’t effect me in anyway shape or form… I have no gain in the matter… they can both be down tomorrow, and I wouldn’t care

          I don’t see anywhere in his comment(s) where he says something postive about privacy guides.
