Drama in tech reviews. If more start to see Linus bias, LTT can go bye bye.



After the video, Linus responds:

Gamer Nexus respond back:

ltt main problem is that the self imposed upload schedule is eating into quality and communication with relevant parties.

What I don't understand is why linus insistent on dying on the hill that the waterblock is bad despite not using it on the gpu it was meant for.

Norm d for LTT, quality dropped alot.

See their video content nowadays mostly trashy clickbait.

Their reviews quite common to see "We don't have X, so use Y to replace instead". Spent millions on a testing lab but can't even get basics right.

LTT trying to leverage their position as big brand to have 'lab' services which is mostly GN territory. TBH, LTT should just stick to their wacky review and fun projects and leave the real testing to Pros.

You're talking about that custom high end waterblock right? Where they threw the instructions out and made a video without using it properly and then passed judgement?

Whole thing was super cringe, more so when you went into the comments and saw the makers of the thing posting comments about all the things they did and got ignored. No point communicating to LTT because no one there reads anything lol.

The same case with that old AMD dual socket system video, the person who lent them the hardware posted a comment saying he kept asking to talk to someone there and got ignored and then he sent an email with all his findings/steps anyway which seem to have been ignored since all the stuff came up in the video. Then Linus responded to the comment saying conveniently that "we already tried all those things and they didn't work".... Like yeah maybe that could happen but its funny that it came up only after a public comment was posted. Also when people pointed out he was being rude all he could say was "he paid for borrowing the hardware" as if that makes it OK biggrin.gif

For a long time never watched their reviews, but I do watch some of the other videos for entertainment value but these two recent ones left a really bitter taste in my mouth and it now feels a bit icky to continue watching.

Haven't watched this GN video yet since I've been working but very curious to see what they talk about.

thats the problem when the company/media group grows too large, they are now mostly making clickbait and crappy contents instead of quality ones

they should just stick with reviews instead of doing everything, its like u dont see gamernexus go test out server racks and big hard disk SANs, he just focus on the things he is good at
while LTT, u see the number of channels under LTT group then u will know the answer

he passed ownership to some kiddo about running the channel
then this kind of shit happens lmao
typical corporate business in america, start up as a nobody then as the company got bigger, they cant handle it or dont know how to handle it then they bring in someone from the outside claiming to know how to handle it then they run it to the ground
that is america for you

Their latest video ironically proves your point.

Mic review but they don't even know to test properly.

I don't know anything about mics but many youtube comments calling out their flawed test.
