A lot of these aren't exactly rare or bizarre...

[robinsonb5]

Oh shit, I just saw what he did to that poor defenceless hard-sectored floppy disk.

He is *so* not one of us.

Obviously. He is an 8-bit guy, whereas we are evolved 16/32-bit guys. No wonder he has some barbaric ways.

Missed out Panasonic CD-RAM disks too!
Far more reliable than CD-R in 1995-1996, used em to backup new laptops when I got them into work, the HP 4020i we had mostly made expensive coffee coasters...

That's because all this person does is clickbait. Why do people even watch this crap.

Probably for the same reason they read your 'bizarre' comments. I personally was unaware of many of these, so some did seem strange and bizarre. As for clickbait, I don't agree. I dislike his nasal accent intensely, but he produces some interesting content. If you can show us some of your not-so-crap videos, so we can compare... please do.

I've never seen him do clickbait. Some of the media were bizzare. Many of them were rare.

[PatmanQC]

I've watched a lot of his videos and really enjoy them especially the restoration ones.
