  • Yes, if you buy product X tested on whatever YouTube channel, your mileage may vary.
    However, LTT had several graphs where they showed egregious performance increases in newer models of graphics cards compared to older ones. Somebody drawing a conclusion just from the relative performance increase of over 200%, even if the numbers would’ve been slightly off otherwise, will be more likely to make a bad decision based on the relative (non-existent) insane performance increase.



  • I am glad that they plan to improve and made steps towards it, but i still have a sour taste in my mouth:

    • I was expecting a formal apology for the monoblock and mouse skates film issue. Both of these were instances where LTT threw another smaller company under the bus. Them not addressing it further gives the assumption that they can, and will keep getting away with stuff like this.
    • Their new guidelines for correction policy are flawed; even the low-severity ones are thing that really shouldn’t be tolerated with no corrective action, and all factual mistakes should be re-shot or voiced over instead of on-screen corrections.
    • They hardly touched upon the whole Madison situation, except for some boasting about employee benefits.
    • In the whole situation, I felt like they failed to really admit that they were sorry for what hapened, and were taking the role of the victims.
      • “We are people too” and a whole segment in this video of emails from fans hoping they will get better soon and “survive this difficult shitstorm”. LMG was merely getting away with this stuff for a long time and just now have been called out. They don’t deserve any harassment, however, they also don’t deserve any “Get better soon” emails from fans.

    TL;DR: I will most likely continue to watch Linus tech tips for entertainment purposes, but will no longer trust them on any technical details, and would go to other channels for tutorials on how to build a pc and such.
