That was my LITERAL very first thought when I scrolled down to upvote. They'll probably get fed up eventually because it's clear they put A LOT of work into these videos - they're excellent. Also, Caya is an engaging and charismatic presenter.
He is not really being Paranoid. He really does have people coming after him, mostly authorities of various places and real nations who have real police, and real intelligences services, and real legal hammers to use on him such as incarcerating him. Paranoia on the other hand is a term that means such fears are largely or mostly unjustified and 'all in your own mind', but these are objectively real, hence he was NOT really Paranoid for the most part, rather he was 'reasonably cautious' in a legal and psychological sense.
LOL for knowing/doing what he got out the tech world quick he was never an insider in the first place so how would he heave inside information all he did have was a couple 100 mil he was never actually in public office of any sort its not like he was known to be friends with any politicians that he could have dirt on etc? Dude was a fuckin insane person I love it dont get me wrong but he wasnt straight in the head dudes gettin MDPV made for him i love drugs and would do just about anything but man try doing cathinones without doing them too much they make crack look as addictive as broccoli dude was STRUNG OUT on bath salts dude like that makes you a paranoid delusional person he also clearly did like uppers judging from his coke days
I do hope he wasn’t taken out…he’s entirely too smart to have been caught and taken out. We need more people like John in this world! He’s the epitome of rebellion against tyranny!
The most interesting man in the world. This is what we all wish we could do lmao do a job, create a company , sell company / idea and bam live like there’s no tomorrow . Besides the bad bad stuff
He could never keep quiet, escaping every time, so if he was alive, he would have blurted it out. Is his character throughout the whole segment. He pushed and pushed and paid for it by the end. My opinion. Does not have the self driven characteristics trade to actually go dark.
that's great work, I admire your bibliography, very well researched Anyone can say what they want but John was the Master Geek of Tech and he's remembered for his tremendous contributions to humanity
That timeline, work of art, standing ovation, it’s so good! All the content, video production, script, edition, music, tone, it’s all perfect, but the timeline, Man, close the internet, that was all. ✌️
This video is 10x more informative than Netflix "documentary", "Running with the Devil". Despite being close to John MacAffee, the 2 journalist never asked him the tough question, don't talk about his nephew death and the lawsuit. They forgot to talk about the first raid (the drug allegations), they don't talk about the arm guards who made the neighbours nervous. Basically Netflix documentary is crap and your video is all we need to get this story...
I learned early on to avoid any software that removes control from the PC owner. Norton was the first and McAfee was fast on its heels. I'll never own anything from Macintosh. I'll never buy a new car or any device that has subscription usage. I could say what I think of people who don't agree with this but I think it's best to have plausible deniability.
Are you a kind of spy? lol. I'm not this paranoid. I agree you have to be aware but unless you're doing illegal or high level political stuff, it's alright. I have done many illegal activity but it's not this serious, don't talk on the phone, write stuff on paper and don't use the cloud and you'll be alright. If you're with Al Quada or with a Cartel they have better way to monitor you anyway...
I am sad that John McAfee is gone. He was such a bottomless wellspring of brilliant insanity. I loved every time I read about his latest crazy fucking exploit.
This left out so much and im not even talking about the conspiracy stories but actual facts. Either you did zero real research or came to the conclusion your video would have been over an hour and covered topics you feared to dive into. Seeing you said "unalive" answers my question. 😊😊
The 90's versions of McAfee AV where solid and if you where clever usually free. Michelangelo was a PITA I got hit with it on several pcs at the time. Think 90s and your giving your teacher floppies and trading them with other students at school. It was terrible. There where quite a few boot sector virues at the time.
Plot twist: John developed Michelangelo to make people pay attention to the very real danger of computer viruses and to prop up his company so he could sell his shares and be free to do whatever the hell he wanted.
Ive been seeing this video for a couple of days put it on my watch later list just haven't had time. I ended up on your start up funding videos from 5 years ago ( good stuff) and saw you were the same. just thought it was pretty cool. My team actually did the last interview with John before he got arrested( pretty sure it was the last ) Anonymous Bites back was the pod cast worth checking out wild interview. He was a pretty good guy all in all, def crazy, glad I got to know him briefly in the end.
Very interesting take on McAfee. I've been hearing these stories for a long time and kind of figure someone should make a movie about him. Perhaps it's in the works, but first they need to be sure he's really dead.
Another piece of UA-cam treasure ✨crazy quality of research and storytelling. Hopefully I can one day reach the same level of production quality in my videos. I don’t know about the AI generated voice tho…
If he hadn't stated in the video that it was an AI generated voice I'd agree but I don't have a problem with this and in context was very obviously not him speaking IRL.
Bro. He killed someone. He might be charismatic but let not forget this fact. And we can say "allegedly" but let's not be dumb, there is no other suspect, he had the mean (money and guns), the motive (he killed his dogs), the temper (He would snap easily), and he said he was going to do it. Then he flee the country before the trial, even though he bribe the cops and could afford the best defense ever. He is a fcking criminal, he lovable criminal but a criminal.
Funny that floppy discs are referred to first and foremost as Save Buttons 🤣 They'd never imagine how many save buttons were needed to install Windows 95 or Windows 98 (if you didnt' have the CD version) 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I have enjoyed your videos in the past. But using the ai generative voices threw me off and made it less enjoyable. I still enjoy the content you are sharing but please consider not using the ai voices as it has no emotion or flow to it. I know how hard you and your writers work to produce these videos and are your way of putting your craft into the world. It would be sad if it begins sounding like an ai TikTok video.
Losing 20MB of data on your PC? 😂😂 I see what you doing there @Cayahere. Funny enough, our network server in the company I first worked for, had a 500MB hard drive.
Got rid of that McAfee garbage on any of my computers. Built my own computers. I saw the grift. You can always tell how big the grift is going to be based on the advertising budget. I had it a max of one or two days, a couple of times each, before I saw what trash it was, and how little value it had. His trash was the virus.

You missed A LOT of Johns story. It is WAY crazier than this. RIP John, you were a great psycho.
Skycoin/Skyfleet remembers RIP John
When he sold the company there was no longer a reason to have it on your computer.
I actually would've trusted his products, not just a name.
John McAfee didn't whack himself.
I'm not saying this as a meme, but as a reminder.
As said in the line in the Clint Eastwood movie, that's very difficult to prove.
As his tattoo stated !!!!!
What about Jeffrey Epstein?
@@Max-Warbucks Probs still alive
my suspicion is that he found himself facing a life sentence and decided sewer side was the correct decision
In the 2000s and onwards, as a consultant, I ripped McAfee off of hundreds of computers and banned it in those business.
If you can't make a coherent statement, it comes off as genuine bullshit
@@infinidominion Thanks, Einstein.

His life is better than any scripted movie
i will touch u sponge bob
If I go to Hollywood with a script like this they’ll kick my ass out for being unrealistic writer lmao
The de-installation ad was the best thing he ever did. That was pure genius.
Honestly john just got so bored with life he deliberately just got into trouble for the fun of it

Being a felon is not a barrier to USA presidency? It sure aint, but good luck getting hired at Walmart.
Actually Walmart has gone so downhill lately that you probably could. If not you could just walk next door to Home Depot.
only if the court sentenced to ban from public office
I do hope he wasn’t taken out…he’s entirely too smart to have been caught and taken out. We need more people like John in this world! He’s the epitome of rebellion against tyranny!
"Your floppy disks -- your 'save buttons'." LOL.
This video, as a person who lived through this history, is fantastic. Big clap, hard sub.

Imagine if mcAfee was just fighting crime but found crime in the government

He's one of the most interesting people who ever lived. Great video!
4:57 She is Helen Martins, journalist from TV Manchete, in the first TV news report about computer viruses in Brazil.
She said: "it destroys all the informations stored in the archive..."

He did not kill himself
Excellent presentation & content bud! Shout out from Australia!

bro desaturated his pictures for that vintage effect. Should have gone for the early 19th century sepia death stare look for a bigger impact.

Drop a link and we’ll share around.
John McAfee is John Wick
Nah much too stupid
Wick virus
More like John Whack.
Incredible video brother.
I still have my DOS McAfee floppy disk that I used to scan customers PCs in the 90's.
Your presentation is brilliant and the topics you choose are quite interesting. Well done, sir, and thank you for the intriguing content!
John McAfee had such a crazy life, it needs to be made into a movie
John McAfee is my hero!
He had showed us that taxation is theft.
you should watch his interview with general sam.
Grate video as always!
Very likely all this is just the official version...
Very interesting take on McAfee. I've been hearing these stories for a long time and kind of figure someone should make a movie about him. Perhaps it's in the works, but first they need to be sure he's really dead.

I don’t know about the AI generated voice tho…
Kinda ethically questionable to use his AI voice in a video imo
He's been sanctioned why does it even matter anymore
All quotes read by AI voices are actual quotes.
He cites such at the bottom of the screen too
Nope it's not ethically questionable
If he hadn't stated in the video that it was an AI generated voice I'd agree but I don't have a problem with this and in context was very obviously not him speaking IRL.
9:06 I have to know if a landing script is some tech term I'm not aware of or if he meant to say landing strip.
Strip. Sorry. Found out too late to fix.
i like how john filmed it like a movie
You could have skipped the inappropriate scenes. He crossed the lines with that video.
Where’s the fun in that?
This was a dang good video, interesting story
Thank you, good sir
Fascinating story and great narration!
John mcfee was literally the most interesting man in the world the real life Dos Equis man
i hope he don't get arrested making meth lab and supplying drungs in basement at his last days like walter white
He died
Your doing a good job in this video unlike say Johnny Harris, You Tube propagandist.
> John McAfee still alive
LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOO
yeah bro. commenting to boost the algorithm
John McAfee & Steve Ballmer are most funniest computer guys even born on God's green Earth.
That thumbnail is wild.
It's criminal to call John McAfee criminal...
He always was a criminal.
@@OceanusHelios well i fucking love criminals like him

That guy almost deserves to get the moniker 'JD' applied to him
Pretty sure Heath Ledger's Joker was based on John, not the other way around...
I wish you talked about why they kept the Mcaffee name still
4:57 "It destroys all information stored on..."
Well, sorry Cultura reporter but didn't you hear his explanation just now?
whyyyyy generative narrations of quotes, who came up this this s---
He literally seem like he installed the AV even in himself to be able to escape all the charges wtf
John Mac was a national treasure
To this day I'd prefer a malware infestation to McAffee antivirus infestation.
You're mad because of what he found in HRC computers.
This is bound to pop off.
Bro if John Mcafee died in the same cell as Jeffery and is illegedly still alive, then that's wild.
Bro nobody said he was in the same cell. It's not even the same country.
... and the word you're looking for is 'allegedly'.
Funny that floppy discs are referred to first and foremost as Save Buttons 🤣 They'd never imagine how many save buttons were needed to install Windows 95 or Windows 98 (if you didnt' have the CD version) 🤣🤣🤣🤣
