It's really unfortunate because their early content was actually pretty entertaining. They'd document the fun projects they were doing, or showcase some wacky PC build they were doing, or they'd have PC build competitions where they'd have to build a themed PC within a certain budget, and they'd be judged at the end. I don't think those competitions had prizes, they just did it for fun. Most of their content was just for fun. They'd do sponsored stuff or reviews here and there, but for the most part it was just for fun.

Then Linus became a multi millionaire, and the whole thing went to shit.
