    You also won’t see too much critical of Google on their channel despite it being one of the biggest threats to privacy and safety, for obvious reasons. Can’t hurt the hand that feeds I guess.

    Well this is a load of nonsense. You can see where they got funding for that investigation here. It was crowdfunded, after all.

    As for the rest of your comment, “everyone knows something at a high level” is the dumbest reason not to do an investigative piece. It’s exactly that people only know it at a high level that investigating is important.

    It would be way more interesting to know if now after china said no more nvidia if the flow of chips is ongoing, but they probably won’t ever cover that.

    If you’re looking for another investigative piece as a follow-up to their previous one, then why don’t you email them directly? If you’re just complaining that there isn’t one, then can’t really help you there. The story of the GPU black market has already been told though, so the most they could probably really do is a hardware news segment if I had to guess.
