Steve Burke at Gamers Nexus seems to post a daily video about how the industry is ripping off consumers. You can hear the actual rage in his voice, the kind of rage one has when he sees the future of his channel in doubt due to his viewers being unable to afford any of the tech gear he reviews. In other words, self-selfing rage.
