Linus Tech Tips

I will say this, and some may consider this my hot take; I feel like Linus needs to step back from responding to community feedback as well. I get that it's his company and he probably feels responsibility to respond, but he does not respond well to criticism. The biggest tell on how his employees feel was Luke's face during the video. It was obvious even without him saying anything that he knew the hot take response was not going to turn out well. These situations are part of being a CEO not an owner and Linus needs to show that he trusts the new CEO enough to respond accordingly. Linus continues to handle this problem in the exact wrong manner when he shouldn't be handling it at all m

Seems Linus is in love with money now.

Finally? He's been tech jesus for years.

"We may be pumping out trash, but at least the trash pumps are running strong with huge throughput. We're ℙℝ𝕆𝔻𝕌ℂ𝕋𝕀𝕍𝔼!

Linus is both knowledgable and a good entertainer. The problem is he's grown from a casual reviewer to running a 100+ employee business, pumping out multiple videos a week with his face on it - He simply cannot possibly know anything about the product besides what's on the script.

When he is interested in something, it really shows. The way he talks about the LTT Screwdriver or the Framework laptop for example almost never even has a correction, let alone errors. Linus just has no ability to upscale that quality.

He's does not have a technical background and he's said as much, gaming and computers are just a passion for him.

He's an entertainer, not an authority. But he speaks so passionately it's easy for a non-technical person to believe he's an authority.

Linus himself has no engineering background, but his team has many engineers. They do not make mistakes for lack of knowledge. What they need is more quality control over their videos

LTT is just an infomercial

It used to be an unboxing channel.

He doesn't. He's just being a computer technician for as long as he has worked.

Watching his videos leads me to believe that he doesn’t.

Watching his videos leads me to believe that he does, the random knowledge drops he has about hardware and the deeper levels of the software stack convince me of that.

Even if he is parroting knowledge he's getting from his engineers, and I don't think he is, he still sounds very knowledgable. I think everyone's simply jumping on a hate bandwagon for the fun of it.

"we did what we did because no matter what the temps are, we thought it was so expensive that none of our viewers should come away from this video wanting to buy it"

He's built a $100,000 gaming desk in the past year, as if he couldn't see a market for an expensive cooler block.

Just like you said. I only watch gn before purchases. They're so damn dry and boring I just skip it wholly and fully otherwise.

For me ltt is entertainment. I personally think they should pivot away from hardware reviews and do just do crazy projects, show cases of really ground breaking tech, and engineering type stuff like they have been. Hardware reviews kind of boring not the reason I watch ltt. It's really is like the topgrear of pc hardware imo.

Pretty much this, nothing on what he's saying, but listening to Steve talk at length is tedious. The Internet is doing its Internet thing when people get too big and make a mistake, but there's no way people are tuning into Gamer's Nexus for entertainment.
