I get the different likes and dislikes, but seriously, at this point why would anyone watch Linus videos?
It's fun to watch them do dumb projects and drill too many holes in a wall
Because they're entertaining?
They're fucking annoying. There is absolutely nothing entertaining about these folks. They put out so many videos a day/week it's borderline insanity.
You don’t have to watch them? I just don’t watch stuff that I don’t like. Rather than arguing about how bad it is.
Unless it’s banter over a beer, that’s different.
I don't watch them, but ~~they~~ that doesn't mean I can't say how bad they are.
It's a 150+ employee company, putting out all these videos is very reasonable imo
People don't get this. Steve's team has definitely less than 20, and I've seen weeks where GN pumbs out 7+ videos, there was a week recently where they did 4 case reviews the same week, and that was just case reviews, they had other videos. LTT has at least 5x the number of employees, of course he can pump out way more videos.
It's less than before the first GN rant. IMO It's much more relaxed and thoroughly written now. IMO The ECC Squad effort is actually working. IMO It's still mostly dumb, bleeding edge, junk food content; but it's easier to watch now than before.
It's not your cup of tea, fine. Then don't watch.
Some people like to watch a trainwreck.
I was one of them, for a while.
but he got to stupid and insufferable to even hate watch.
Hey, he had lots of fans until it was revealed that he was a jerk and his videos weren't really about giving good tech advice.
At least you had the self-respect to leave.
I mean, he was pretty obviously a cunt for a long time before the whole fiasco with stealing the prototype, then lying about having made it up to the company.
Lol. Made me chuckle
I stopped watching when he cultivated a toxic work environment full of harassment.
I don't support that.
Emily was cool. But she hasn't shown up forever.
Emily is no longer with LMG as of sometime... Last year?

I would subscribe to Emily if she did Linux for noobs sort of tutorial
Everyone I really like at LMG ends up leaving sooner or later....
Shame, those videos were the best. As it felt like she actually knew what she was talking about
TIL
Sorry but, where does it say that in the link you added? Because "@linustech.bsky.social" is still listed at the top of her profile?
If only it also had words "former host/writer" before
Here you go
Thank you for the clarification.
Because their entertaining videos with cool rare/expensive tech are entertaining. I avoid reviews from them at this point (which is disappointing since Labs had potential), but the cool home server stuff or x Gamers 1 PC are just cool and there is not much like it elsewhere on YT.
For people who love ads and being shilled to and watch infomercials in their free time.
Go to r/linustechtips....
Why do you hate me?
Dont feel special, I hate everyone equally
