Why TED talks suck now (m.youtube.com)

TIL I learned the difference between TED and TEDx.

TEDx events are independently organized TED-like conferences that operate under a free license granted by TED. While they follow the general principles of TED, TEDx events are planned and coordinated by volunteers at the local level, aiming to bring the TED experience to a broader audience.

Yuck not Sam Hyde. He is not a good person.

He pitted a bunch of silverspoon trust fund Twitch kids into fighting themselves in a shitty house, and lost money on it, then set up fights with a bunch of other Twitch streamers until they exploded.

...I hate his politics, but. He can keep fucking with twitch streamers and YouTube personalities all he wants. More power to him on that front, actually.

Hyde is more or less just there to kick lolcows, and get views when he does. He really isn't a good person, but I love his collateral damage sometimes.

I've never heard of him, who is he and what did he do?

Alt-right comedian who confuses his free speech to say bigoted things with a belief that people must find him funny.

He also got into boxing in the way "alpha male" content creators do, left smack talking in the dust and made actual threats against his opponents and their families.

But he's a comedian so it's all funny! /s
