Haven't watched an LTT video in 10 years, what happened?

Probably just the same bullshit that made you not watch it for 10 years.

A different creator spouted a bunch of lies in an attack video, was a big drama, nobody cared when it was proven wrong later and the community sentiment in many online spaces is like this now. Standard drama sells corrections don't thing.

Disguising content mill garbage as reviews is just being human? Also theft and also promoting scams and keeping quiet about it. There was also the warranty stuff but that's pretty minor compared to other things.

What? He guesses at the price, and if he’s wrong then he’ll eat a cake? Reward himself for being wrong? Is that it?

Oh no, if I'm wrong, I'll do a muckbang and get tons of views from fetishists.....

I'm so tired of the thousand videos and articles speculating on price. Why? What's the point? Just relax.

To be honest, while he would be annoying if I watched 10 of his videos in a row, I don’t understand why hés so hated on Lemmy.

He's been accused of, admitted to, and proven that he is paid off and goes more for entertainment/engagement than actual reviews of products. There are thousands of tech reviewers on YouTube doing honest work, I'll always downvote the openly dishonest ones

proven that he is paid off

Most of that attack piece was shown to be fake allegations though. It did contain some valid criticism, and the valid parts were resolved.

They have been in the top 10 for years as far as I know. While it's commendable it does not change the fact that linus is a self aggrandizing shit.

He's probably right, the contrast with the PS5 pro for a similar price will be apt even if most consumers might not notice immediately.

It's also close to what a similarly priced PC would be.
