I just want mindless fun tech videos and don’t care so much about the accuracy of video cards I can’t afford.
My overall faith in any YouTube video being statistically accurate is low. I value the info in general but would never rely on one YouTubers video as a conclusive source and still do my own research if I’m going to buy.
That said if I had to do a trust level comparison of say Fox News vs LMG I would pick LMG any day. That’s a YouTuber vs national “news” network.
Honestly, I wouldn’t mind ltt turning into the “Top Gear of tech”, they’re kinda halfway there already, but they need to clean house. The accusations against them have gone from, “that’s pretty unprofessional” to “dear God what the fuck?”
Linus honestly never struck me as someone capable of running a company with over a hundred people. He strikes me as someone who never grew out of their teen gamer phase and is in way over his head, running around like a chicken with its head cut off trying to stay on top of things. Whenever I see him, I’m still seeing the shy, quiet kid from NCIX. That’s where he really needs to be. Being the nerd that he is, showing off something cool and nerdy. Not this company man hustle shit.
Same but unfortunately the YT algorithm doesn’t care about what we want and since we live in this digital capitalist hellscape nothing’s gonna change +__+
Agreed. First LMG needs to clean house to make it a mentally safe work environment so there is never a repeat of Madison’s case … cause wtf. Second, an apology to Billet Labs … cause wtf. Third, they need to slow down the pace of work so the employees can focus on quality and accuracy.
The rate at which they pump out content is, in my opinion, unsustainable for the employees and unsustainable for the semi-regular viewer as well
I’ve noticed my recommendations have largely stopped showing me LTT videos over the past several months, probably because youtube recognizes that im not watching a large % of their videos, so why would youtube recommend the next one? i feel like their pace is thinning out their semi-regular viewers and leaving a highly devout community. To me, the semi-regulars are what add balance to the community rather than it becoming an echo chamber.
I think by slowing down, LTT will be in a much healthier happier place in the long term, even if the numbers don’t obviously show it. That said, idk if I can see their videos in the same light knowing what’s happened behind the curtains. I think for rn, that might be it for me.
