Steam Deck is the biggest threat to Xbox and maybe the other way around too. Let's explore Microsoft and Valve's weird relationship

I don't agree that Fan the Deck became too much clickbait. I know Deck Ready too and its incredibly bad with his clickbait. Stopped watching Deck Ready. But regardless of the title in this video from Fan the Deck, I had same expectations as you, if you watch the content then the title makes sense and is not clickbait. I agree on every point and the recap he did in the beginning too.

Regardless what you think, if I am paid to write this or not, I mean it when I say this video title is not misleading clickbait.

I did not watch deck ready because they are clickbait whores from just a glance... But I wanted a SD focused news alternative and found fan the deck from searching around for a similar steam deck focused channel and it was a breath of fresh air. Now he posts shit titles like "Steam Deck Problem" with BEWARE big letters on the thumbnail. get. the fuck. out. I unsubscribed after that video. If I have to use DE-ARROW to see what your video is about (and his videos have started to been "de-arrowed" as viewers are probably sick of it too) you're gone.

The GOAT though IMO is Dragonware Decaf. Lisa knows her shit. She doesn't do news but she does SD tutorials

Always good to have good recommendations. I subscribed to her channel and will watch a few videos before coming to any conclusion.

Cryobyte33 is good too. But he's been dormant lately (Dev of CryoTools)

I like when he talks about the Steam Deck, but he talked too much about other handhelds and accessories. Plus most of his talks are about (software) modding the Deck, which I am not doing much. That's why I unsubscribed, but not because it is bad, I'm just not the target. Seems like he stopped posting because I unsubscribed... :D But I recommend anyone reading these replies to look at his YouTube channel and watch some older videos. They are quite interesting and go in depth in some of them:
