Disrupt posting is like finding $100 in your pocket.

I love that the old style of Disrupt is coming back, but I really miss the Adult-Swim-esque bumps in between the stories. It really made the channel feel like a forbidden TV channel from the early 2000s.

This is the old school disrupt, multiple random stories sandwiched together... enjoyed it.

The irony of steve jobs starting out working with hackers to circumvent fees to apple now being THE home of money sucking is crazy

Watching a 2 minute old Disrupt video on a plane. Doesn’t get better then that

Disrupt's upload schedule is like that one abusive uncle. He does it once in a while and then acts like nothing happened.

My dad would talk about this. And also Is a hacker. When direct TV satellite TV came out he hacked those cards and sold them We always had every channel and all the paid movies. Freaking awesome

I'm pretty sure the intro is AI(If not im sorry) but seeing this from a channel that I used to be so fond of is quite upsetting, you are probably able to fund some sort of artist(again, sorry if not) and if not then use some other form of media.

love the content, its a shame there is such heavy use of AI art- especially when you compare it to the previously human-made works which elevated the story telling, and showed a hell of a lot more love

Schopenhauer once said “Life swings like a pendulum backward and forward between waiting a Disrupt and a Lemmino video”

What if instead of "phreaking" it would be called "freaking" and instead of hacking phones they would just suck each other off?
