Do you still watch YouTube? Who do you follow?
Do you still watch YouTube? Who do you follow?
It seems that everything turned into scams, aggressive self marketing and just click bait irrelevant content. I liked finance videos, but every creator sounds like "the world will end soon" or "my secret method to make 1 million per week day trading stocks/forex/crypto."
Content aimed at culture (movies/series) also behave the same way, throwing a bit of politics into the mix. Always the same incendiary click bait title spewing a bunch of nonsense that has nothing the story, setting characters or other topics relevant to the piece.
Is there anything that can be saved on that platform? It has gotten so bad that I'm start to think that Tiktok and Twitter both have better content than YouTube. At least in those platforms you can find a random dude writing an essay in a series of 20 tweets on why an increase of mantis is related to the global surge of ballpoint pen prices.
I know this will get hate, but I still enjoy LTT.
Who throws shade at LTT? They're quite entertaining.
A lot of people complain about the clickbait headlines or that he's hamming it up for the camera. He does get a lot of hate.
I personally find him entertaining and I like most of the other presenters. I don't mind the clickbait headlines because they're all clickbait, it's like a running joke itself.
I don't go out of my way to throw shade at LTT, but I unsubscribed a few months ago, and there are multiple reasons.
There were a few topics over the last few months that just were either poorly researched or I assume misrepresented purposely to appease the YouTube overlords. These topics were on Android TV boxes and also blocking advertisements. I mean, I get it, don't bite the hand that feeds you, but I really hate they have such a large audience and then misrepresented things. Just don't cover it. Their coverage of anything Linux when it involves Linus himself is also, absolutely atrocious. That entire Linux gaming PC challenge was so badly done. I think Jake and Emily were the only two people who I respected on the channel when it came to a tech opinion. Then there is the, "don't discuss pay," policy.
I realized that I never learn anything from it, and if anything I disagree with it quite often. And it also lost the entertainment value for me, when is the last time they have done something fun like one of those build-offs? Seemed like most of the videos before I unsubscribed was just Linus adding stuff to his house. Anyway, I haven't missed it since unsubscribing.

What? LTT is great!
I really enjoy the WAN Show but the LTT channel is hit or miss for me, most videos are way too long for the content that they actually provide. It makes sense considering the amount of videos they make, but itβs frustrating
To each their own, but Linus is tech cancer.
Can you elaborate? I see comments like this that say "thing/person bad" but never back it up with a reason.
