im gonna guess this is overblown and just people trying to pile on and virtue signal. It's like when a comedian gets too big, everyone pretends they never liked them. All of sudden everyone has always found Linus annoying and "i never really watch their stuff anyways".
sure... yur cool.

I mean I've built several computers (6?) in the last decade but have never watched more than a couple of minutes of any of their videos. Like I said, he seemed like kind of a douche and I generally don't watch much personality-based content on YT. Basically, anyone who has the Surprise Anal Youtube face in their thumbnails gets summarily ignored.

I think I saw somewhere they have a screw driver also...
EDIT: found it...$70 for a driver...
Screwdriver
Our ratcheting multi-bit screwdriver features a knurled stainless steel shaft with a strong embedded magnet, internal storage for 12 "shorty" 20mm bits (or 6 full-sized bits), an in-house designed three-lobe handle for comfort and ergonomics, and a tastefully-embossed LTT logo on the end cap...

You probably shouldn't let your kids watch that guy.

Haha, agreed. I meant "the kids" as in the young'uns these days. I found out about it from this Youtube recommendation:
And then after watching this somewhat entertaining and informative video, Youtube continued to recommend this channel to me. At which point I tried one video, and requested that Youtube stop recommending that channel.

Before they were just another fat guy, now they're the fat guy with tits. Not only is it attention but it's also a barrier of sorts. Now if you hate them it's because you're anti-trans, it's not that they're big fat assholes.

I was gonna keep my mouth shut, but Jesus fucking Christ, stop giving Youtubers your time and attention. Even if you're just bitching about them on here.
Skimming this thread makes me feel like a normal, well-adjusted person.

I'm an avid watcher of LTT and Gamers Nexus (I even enjoy that Jayztwocents guy). If I really need a serious review, I'm going to watch Steve on Gamers Nexus. There's defintely humor, but his testing is a mostly straight forward no bullshit approach. Linus tech tips (and all the other sister channels) is pure entertainment, click bait videos, that have only some educational value.
I like some of the things LTT is trying to do, but they are rushing to quickly. The whole LTT Labs seems like a project that if you throw enough money at it, it should work. But maybe they should have made the database and the testing protocols before just saying they're going to be the new RTINGS and dump a boatload of money with little to show. The LMG person I enjoyed watching the most hasn't been in many videos after coming out as transgender. No I haven't bought any LTT products. Nalgene bottles are cheaper. Their new backpack is just an expensive airplane carryon. I want to tryout the LTT screwdriver though.

I deleted YouTube from my phone and Google cast thing last week. I was spending way too much time on there. I'm slowly trying to do other things with my time like riding my bike and actually playing games I buy.
TBF, if you cut the cord, like I did, YouTube starts to get to know you and what you like to watch. They are constantly curating what shows up in Recommended for you and, it makes it hard to stop watching.
I've never heard of Linus Tech Tips but, I have heard of Chris Gould (for sumo content), Team APS (because they're hilarious), etc. But, hey, I don't pay for cable or any streaming services so, I guess that's a bonus?

Yooooooo!
Good on you for cutting the cord. Bike rides are awesome if you happen to live somewhere where you're not likely to get run down by an aggressive and/or distracted driver. I do at the moment and it sucks.
Never been too big on Youtube aside from the occasional bits of concert footage of smalltime bands pre-2010, or more recently, help with math or physics homework. Every fucking platform has those "recommended for you" algorithms these days so there's really no escape from them. They're designed to keep people sucked in. At least you're making an attempt to get away from it and do things that aren't doom scrolling and gluing yourself to your phone like a zombie.
Never heard of Linus either and this thread makes me glad I haven't. Keep going on bike rides.
