[Technology Connections] Some DVD re-releases got cheapened out in a weird way [17:59] - Lemmy.World

I’m surprised this video is still up, since the entire premise is false. They are bootlegs he bought off ebay, not official releases.
Well it doesnt matter, he acknowledged they are probably bootlegs in the comments and updated the title. People make mistakes, but its not a very big one here and the overall point of the video is still the same.

It’s a pretty big mistake, though given it’s his second (casual) channel it is very low stakes.

He can’t posit that re-releases are being done on single layer DVDs to save money, but use bootlegs as proof. Bootlegs aren’t a DVD release done by the distributor. That’s a pretty fatal flaw in logic.

It’s the equivalent of “Steam games are getting re-released in a weird way” and linking to Pirate Bay torrents, and the entire video is about how cheap games have gotten since they don’t have Steam features like achievements and cloud-save.

It’s a tiny mistake that literally has no effect at all on the over all message of the video. It’s a fun “huh” moment to realize what’s actually happening. But nothing more.
