Hello ChadJohnsonOfffical, and thank you for your submission to Gaming PC! If you are new please check out our rules over at the wiki [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/gamingpc/wiki/rules)!
We have recently added the useful feature of Title Flair! You can set this manually by clicking Flair under your post once you have submitted your post, but if you missed it in the rules there is a much better way that will automatically flair your post!
To do this simply add what your post is about in brackets before your title. For example for a Build Log you can type [Build Log] before your post so that it looks like this; [Build Log]My new awesome build!, and the bot will automatically set your flair to Build Log! This works for Build Log, Build Showcase, News, Hardware News, Hardware Release, Discussion, and Miscellaneous!
Also remember that this is a place for discussing and sharing our love of Gaming Computers! This is NOT the place for help building or determining what parts you should buy, that is better suited for /r/buildapc. Troubleshooting questions should be directed to /r/techsupport. Thank you again!

>Oh, did I forget to mention how energy-consuming these RGB monsters are? Yeah, you’re basically melting polar ice caps with every raid you complete. Saving the planet, one RGB light at a time, huh?
The energy used to light up a blinged out RGB PC is around $35-$50 per year, which isn’t a lot of power usage.
In fact, almost all of these points are incredibly stupid.
* Avoiding reality
* Not engaging in relationships
* Not engaging in other hobbies
* Reality is so much better than “virtual reality.”
If you don’t like PC gaming, or just gaming in general, that’s totally fine. But no need to write a furious little blog post shitting on other people’s hobbies.

This guy just regurgitated a bunch of psudo-hot-takes without actually backing any of them up.
Hits a bit more like a humor article, but I suspect he doesn’t realize the jokes he’s making.
It’s like someone wanted to demonstrate the straw man fallacy and decide to mix in poor researching at the same time. I don’t even want to waste time doing a teardown of the article, because:
1. It’s not completely wrong, but can’t get out of its own way when there’s a hint of a good point.
2. It’s buried in such heavy and pervasive hyperbole, I’d be addressing almost every sentence
3. In the places where we have clear research that contradict what he says, the data is still fairly subjective, and the tone of the article is not attempting to be nuanced or accurate.

So.. to TL;DR:
* It’s clickbait
* You can’t fight bias with data
