Reddit has such a hard-on for LTT, but I’ve found their videos kinda insufferable for… 10 years? Then after the GN/heatsink selling (sorry fans, ”AUCTIONING” …) I knew they were poo.
The sexual harassment stuff didn't help either.
Yes.... but what colour?
Sorry what? He still does the first two and I have no idea what you're referencing with the view% comment.
Fair enough, I don't watch their sponsored videos and am not going to to check this, so I can't comment on how misleading they are. I just don't like how many they do of those and how hard it is to tell them apart from the regular content/reviews. That said, I've never seen it affect their videos or opinions outside of the sponsor spot. Linus will still say whatever he wants in other videos, especially on WAN, and if there is an issue with a company then they cease sponsors with them. They've demonstrated that with Anker and their Eufy products.
I was primarily confused in your original comment because you mentioned watercooling a room. They still do big/stupid projects like this, such as Linus watercooling via his pool, it's just hard to find amongst the filler garbage. You also mentioned dunking on companies, which he still does when they do stupid shit, though rarely via a dedicated video.
Thanks for explaining your point, I was fully expecting to be ghosted after the first downvote...
This is why I would never do anything like that for money. I either do it for the fun of it, or don't do it at all. I can stop at any time. Hey, it's been a fun ride, but I'm over this 🤷. I've made an archive of the videos, in case this channel gets pulled down some day. Goodbye and fairwell 👋.
