This isn't really a nothing burger but it's not much. I don't watch him but when I click on a few tech videos of his, I was like "ok is this dude just a consumer reviewer, or does he . . .' I'm a computer engineer' oh okay he went to school for a CS degree". Then I turned the video off. I only watched his video since he said he was an engineer. Whenever I saw his thumbnails pop up about deep web shit, or Linux, I assumed he had authority being an engineer. Never watched any of his videos, but assumed he got so big from doing things from the perspective of a "computer engineer". The having a regular job thing is just to relate to viewers, I don't believe anybody with over 1 mill subs would have a regular job in earnest. If they did I would assume it's just for ass pats and optics.
It's only big if his fans care, and they strike me as the para-social kids who say "well we watch him for his personality, not just for his credentials". So I doubt something will come of it, but he always struck me as a know-it-all. Definitely hoping for a sperg out, he's already banning the word "engineer" in his comments.
