I second this recommendation. The article is basically just a summary of Karl’s video.

  And thank god for that. Karl's video is ridiculously drawn out and should've been a tenth the length.

    That’s why you speedrun it

    Each to their own but I really enjoy the long form of his videos. I don’t find them drawn out at all.

  The article is essentially just a rehash of Karl's video.

    Welcome to the M.O. of every (ex-) Gawker Media site. Find something on the internet that hasn't been covered, re-post it with enough summary to masquerade as an independent post, and get coverage on aggregator sites where most viewers never even glance at the original media.

      FWIW, I rarely desire to find out about something like this via a YouTube video. I'm rarely somewhere I want to listen to something with sound. When I am, I still usually would rather get to the point than listen through a ten minute narrative. Even if Gawker sites solely existed to regurgitate YouTube videos to text... I'd pay for that service.

Karl's channel is a great place to dive into. I guess he started as just a speedrunner, but in recent years he's been making terrific videos on deep mechanics of speedrunning, on cheating and cheat detection, etc. And he's done significant journalism on shady business in adjacent topics, like records-keeping organizations and the market for retro game cartridges. He's even been (being?) sued by Billy Mitchell (the King of Kong guy), whom Jobst calls the biggest conman in gaming. Really good channel to check out and support.
