Has ‘The Snitch’ already cemented themselves in the hall of fame of greatest leakers?

No. Revealing what will be in a show a day before serves literally no purpose. We already know the show is happening, we're about to watch it. It's lame and actually can ruin some nice surprises.
A real good leaker reveals things that are far out, things we know nothing about. Or they actually leak what presentation is happening and when. This is valuable. Telling us the content of an announced presentation isn't worth shit.

He hasn't got anything wrong, and probably won't. I always remember CBOAT as the most prolific leaker, but iirc, I don't remember their record being 100% like The Snitch, granted, The Snitch has only been around for a few weeks.
I like the insiders that hint at things less obviously than how Snitch does things. Gives of sense of mystery to it. But Snitch does things way too obvious, like Hollow Knight with green(Xbox) color, Zack's scene with multiple of colors(all platforms), etc. All right before the videos are made public. It does definitely feel like they see the videos before hand doesn't matter what studio, so its definitely someone at Youtube or group of leakers hiding behind a single alias.

They wont get anything wrong because they only leak stuff a day early because they can see the youtube videos early. They will get caught and disappear soon this exact same style of leaker has happened before they all get caught.
Cboat became an absolute joke account leading up to XBO release and onwards.
Other prominent "mods at the old place" have spilled the beans already. lol
edit: Although TBH both things are true IIRC... CBOAT was a real person... mods then used that account to post other leaks after something happened with the real CBOAT.
Although I have the memory of a goldfish these days so don't quote me on that.
I love how people can say this with such conviction.
Uh huh.
I am not gonna snitch on which mods!
Of course that could have been a ruse too!
WHAT EVEN IS TRUTH?
Was CBOAT the person that leaked Microsoft's line up and plans for the next two years? If it was they got be the all timer in this hall of fame
Nah, because these are the lame type of leaks where you just spoil something a day before a showcase. I also assume it was someone who had access to the SGF stuff so It wouldn't surprise me if they don't have any more new stuff after this summer.
Much prefer someone like Jeff Grubb who actually moderates what he makes public.

Grubb had the Kojima xbox story over a year ago alongside countless of other correct stories months and months in advance. Go ahead and explain how people like him are clout chasing. One of them does work by actually talking with developers the other works at YouTube and watches videos 1 day before the public one of them is clout chasing and its not the one you think.
Quartermann did get some stuff right back in the day, but I think a lot of that was they looked at patents filed like when they mentioned metroid dread and chrono break.
We'd also get crazy stuff like Capcom VS. Dragon Ball where it was totally made up. Still waiting on that one lol

Agreed with all of this.
What surprises me is that we've even had threads before of people posting how leaking affects them directly, and a lot of people still don't seem to care.
It's their job to garner attention... that's not cloud chasing, it's just.. work.
The_snitch is doing the "anonymous cloud chasing" thing.. they tweeted how happy they were for all the attention lol HIGH ON LIFE RIGHT NOW
(not that you can't find Grubb/Henderson/Corden annoying.. I do too at times.. but it still is their job lol)
CBOAT still the GOAT. truthfact
Those threads were so epic and much more fun than these current leaks.

I do. People at the time said they were full of shit but if you look at their leaks, the vast majority where true.
I remember one of the things people called bullshit on was a Crysis console port, which then happened.
"High on Life" was the name of that weird Rick & Morty game from the Xbox show iirc
Isn't this the exact same thing we had with a leaker last year? Who was just able to access youtube videos a day before? If I remember correctly it was Nintendo who ended up shutting that down - will be interesting if the Snitch suffers the same fate and ends up in the Nintendo ninja'd graveyard - guess we'll see later on this month
The Snitch is barely even Tom Henderson level, let alone someone like Jeff Grubb, Navtra, or Jason when he used to leak stuff. Plus, the top spot has already been taken for this generation.
I don't know how anyone thinks this. It's Grubb and Henderson's job to do stuff like that. If anyone's a clout chaser, it's someone posting from an anonymous Twitter account hoping for people to notice him.
I'm kind of agreeing. I'd personally would love to see some kind of ranking of leakers based on accuracy, time to official announcement, amount and frequency and stuff like that though.
