I get the different likes and dislikes, but seriously, at this point why would anyone watch Linus videos?
Because they're entertaining?
They're fucking annoying. There is absolutely nothing entertaining about these folks. They put out so many videos a day/week it's borderline insanity.
You don’t have to watch them? I just don’t watch stuff that I don’t like. Rather than arguing about how bad it is.
Unless it’s banter over a beer, that’s different.
I don't watch them, but ~~they~~ that doesn't mean I can't say how bad they are.
It's a 150+ employee company, putting out all these videos is very reasonable imo
People don't get this. Steve's team has definitely less than 20, and I've seen weeks where GN pumbs out 7+ videos, there was a week recently where they did 4 case reviews the same week, and that was just case reviews, they had other videos. LTT has at least 5x the number of employees, of course he can pump out way more videos.
It's fun to watch them do dumb projects and drill too many holes in a wall
Some people like to watch a trainwreck.
I was one of them, for a while.
but he got to stupid and insufferable to even hate watch.
Hey, he had lots of fans until it was revealed that he was a jerk and his videos weren't really about giving good tech advice.
At least you had the self-respect to leave.
I mean, he was pretty obviously a cunt for a long time before the whole fiasco with stealing the prototype, then lying about having made it up to the company.
Lol. Made me chuckle
For people who love ads and being shilled to and watch infomercials in their free time.
Go to r/linustechtips....
Why do you hate me?
Emily was cool. But she hasn't shown up forever.
Emily is no longer with LMG as of sometime... Last year?

I would subscribe to Emily if she did Linux for noobs sort of tutorial
Because their entertaining videos with cool rare/expensive tech are entertaining. I avoid reviews from them at this point (which is disappointing since Labs had potential), but the cool home server stuff or x Gamers 1 PC are just cool and there is not much like it elsewhere on YT.
I stopped watching when he cultivated a toxic work environment full of harassment.
I don't support that.
