    Technically correct, but saying this channel is satire sounds like this channel is a parody and this video isn’t meant seriously. It sounds like this channel would do kinda do the same type of content that “Samtime” or “Programmers are also human” does.

      Parody is different to satire.

      Parody is an imitation of another piece of media or work where you are making comedic commentary of that work.

      Satire is using comedy to offer commentary, to carry a message, or to offer criticism about the world.

      Yes, like Programmers are also human. That is satire as well, same as Fireship.

        It’s satire, but it’s a different kind of satire. When I hear satire I think of Programmers are also human and his content is completely different than fireship’s.
