Hacking Please DO NOT take DYKG's video on Switch Hacking Seriously.

[AkikoKumagara]

jesus, it's close enough on most parts and it's not their fault they don't have months to waste on getting all the info straight.

It's entirely their fault they've published a video with incorrect and/or incomplete information. Not sure who else you can blame.

Meh, Some of the video was okay the part about sx os brick code never being removed irked me. But the video painting the scene as destructive and at cutthroats with each other was annoying.

Can somebody explain what exactly wrong with the video? I'm new to the scene and yet to hack my Switch.

Contains quite a lot of outdated and wrong information.

DYKG has always been bad at supporting their statements. Not sure why, but they don't seem to know how to do proper research or support their assertions. I'm not overly surprised by this video. Friend of a friend who makes them, so I've seen them every now and then since the beginning and I've never not seen at least a few things wrong with what they assert. Reminds me of the "game theory" people who just make stuff up and pass off "MAYBE! NOT LIKE YOU KNOW!" as evidence....okay maybe not that bad, but there's always something wrong or a leap of logic passed off as fact.

Gaming historian is about 1000x better and not click-bait-y. dude does his research and does it right. give that channel your love.

Yeah, I got that from this thread already.

OP, Nice promotion of the video. Did you generate 4,000+ more views for it and bump it up to the top of youtube for the people searching switch hacks?

It was already on YouTube Trending for a bit. I highly doubt this thread would bump it to the top.

that's a bit depressing. This is why we can't have nice things.

Might as well keep it at the top.

OP: Seriously, everybody. Nobody should bother watching this. Here's the video.

The video in question:

If you don't want to drive traffic to the video, it's probably better to remove the embed/link and just say "their latest video on switch hacking, which was trending for a while. I won't link here to avoid giving them views, but here's a breakdown of the worst offending things".

Just a suggestion, I'd just hate to give them more traffic for being terrible at what they attempt to do.

True, I mainly put it there for people to form their own opinions on the video. I don't think everyone who viewed the thread watched the video anyway.

Where does it say people shouldn't bother to watch it? Screenshot clearly says to not take it seriously.

So, you are basically saying that you want people to watch it.

Well, making it the center of a thread based on scrutinizing it is a bit of a contradiction.

Nice troll thread.

Just because I think it's a bad video shouldn't stop people from forming their own opinion. I really don't care if they got an extra 4k views from this (which I highly doubt they have). They already have 500k views on the video anyway. I let people know what it was like from my personal experience and gave them an option to watch it or not. I don't see the issue here...

I just like drawing attention to the irony of this thread. If that's an issue to you, then maybe you shouldn't have taken the video seriously enough to make a thread dedicated to it (or make modifications?). Whether it was intended or not, this thread is a promotion of "the bad video". It's a good troll.

I'd like to note that due to reasons, I'll not write a rebuttal.

That said, I'd like to note that DYKG isn't at fault as much as they picked a couple of poorly chosen sources (arstechnica, that one motherboard article and Ktemkins old fusee FAQ) which were either inacurrate or outdated.

My whole reason for watching this thread went up in smoke. Oh well.

Let me be the messenger then.
