Linus Tech Tips getting Called out on their Trash Content

[winb83]

excuse me?

He thought the phrase hard R meant retarded not “the n word.”

 

[Cakebatter]

LTT is obviously trying to pump out content to make itself more attractive to a potential buyer. Never cared for Linus, and surprised by his large following. Dude was especially douchie when they called him out for the lack of a warranty on his own backpacks.

Cliffs - We not watching 44 minute videos anymore

• 00:00:00 In this section, the video raises concerns about the rushing and self-imposed deadlines at Linus Tech Tips (LTT) that are causing data errors and information errors. The video criticizes LTT for promoting accuracy and data-driven reviews while frequently making mistakes. It also highlights ethical concerns regarding LTT's misrepresentation of a small company's prototype and the auctioning off of the prototype without permission. Another ethical issue mentioned is the failure to notice and correct a mistake in a recent review, instead blaming the product. The video suggests that LTT's focus on entertainment and marketing may be compromising the quality and accuracy of their content. Additionally, excerpts from an LTT employee interview indicate that staff members also feel the pressure to prioritize quantity over quality due to restrictive time constraints.
• 00:05:00 In this section, the creator of the video criticizes Linus Tech Tips (LTT) for their accuracy, ethics, and responsibility issues. They start by discussing an instance where LTT chose to publish misleading data due to a lack of qualifications and a focus on quantity over quality. The video creator argues that this intentional misinformation raises questions about LTT's motivations and suggests they prioritize hitting deadlines over providing accurate content. They acknowledge that making this video is uncomfortable but necessary to address these issues. The video also touches on LTT's connection to YouTube and other streamers, emphasizing that their aim is to bring transparency and improvement to the company. The section concludes by highlighting LTT's consistent errors in their reviews, suggesting a lack of attention to accuracy and reliability.
• 00:10:00 In this section, the video highlights several errors made by Linus Tech Tips (LTT) in their reviews over the past year. One notable example is their RTX 4090 review, where LTT published a chart showing the card outperforming the 3090 TI by 300 percent in Cyberpunk, when it should have been closer to 72 to 75 percent. This error was due to LTT not properly setting their test parameters and checking for other dependencies during the setup. The video argues that LTT's slow response in acknowledging and correcting these errors, as well as their lack of attention to detail and basic research, raises concerns about their accuracy, ethics, and responsibility as a tech company.
• 00:15:00 In this section of the video, the narrator criticizes Linus Tech Tips (LTT) for their inaccurate and inconsistent testing of coolers. They point out that LMG's own data is inconsistent, showing significant temperature differences between the Noctua NH-D15 and the Peerless Assassin when testing different CPUs. They also highlight errors such as LTT blaming NZXT's software for a liquid cooler performing worse than a stock cooler and the incorrect calculation of surface area. The narrator questions the endorsement of the Noctua NH-D15, suggesting it may be influenced by their close ties with Noctua, and points out the testing of the Peerless Assassin was done backwards. Additionally, they mention a review of the Amazon Basics cooler where LTT's data seemed physically impossible, indicating potential issues with their testing process. They also criticize LTT for mixing up power supplies in a Labs video and not paying attention to basic details, such as graph markers and accuracy in their videos.
• 00:20:00 In this section, the video points out several accuracy issues with Linus Tech Tips, specifically regarding their reviews of the 5600x3D and 7950x3D. The video claims that LTT provided incorrect specifications for the CPUs, including cache sizes and L2 cache per core, and also displayed misleading graphics. Furthermore, the video criticizes LTT for being more concerned about getting the same results as AMD rather than focusing on their own findings. It also highlights the use of asterisk corrections in LTT's videos, suggesting that they are used to undo unfair criticisms or mistakes. Overall, the video argues that LTT's fast-paced content creation may result in rushed and inaccurate information.
• 00:25:00 In this section, the video highlights some concerns about the accuracy, ethics, and responsibility of Linus Tech Tips (LTT). It is argued that LTT prioritizes frequency over quality, often leaving mistakes uncorrected in their videos. Additionally, the video points out potential conflicts of interest, such as LTT's investments in companies they cover and partnerships that may affect their objectivity in product reviews. These issues raise concerns about the reliability of LTT's content and the impact it can have on viewers' purchasing decisions. The video also mentions a specific example where LTT used an incompatible product in a video, misrepresenting its capabilities. Overall, the section raises questions about LTT's commitment to accuracy, ethics, and responsible reporting.
• 00:30:00 In this section, the video criticizes Linus Tech Tips (LTT) for lacking accuracy, ethics, and responsibility. It highlights a specific incident where LTT improperly installed a product and drew conclusions based on invalid testing. This resulted in potential harm to a small company and its reputation. The video claims that LTT doubled down on their flawed testing methods and failed to communicate properly with the company. Additionally, it points out that LTT auctioned off a prototype without permission, potentially hindering the company's development. The video argues that reviewers should prioritize fairness and objectivity, especially if they market themselves as data-driven. It also mentions another instance where LTT made strong criticisms without providing a proper review.
• 00:35:00 In this section, the excerpt discusses the issue with Linus Tech Tips misrepresenting the performance of a gaming mouse due to the protective film not being removed from its feet. The video initially claimed that the mouse had high friction, but it was later revealed that the film was the cause of the issue. Despite this correction, Linus Tech Tips chose to leave the original video up while processing a cut, which undermines the integrity of the product and its marketing. This lack of accountability and ethical responsibility is deemed unacceptable by the excerpt, as it misleadingly affects consumers, companies, and other reviewers. Additionally, the excerpt highlights the negative community response towards valid criticisms, further exacerbating the problem. The emphasis on publishing on a fixed schedule rather than ensuring accuracy and ethics is seen as a detrimental choice for a large media outlet.
• 00:40:00 In this section, the speaker expresses frustration with the actions of Linus Tech Tips (LTT) and Linus Media Group (LMG), suggesting that they are acting in a careless and irresponsible manner. They criticize LTT's inaccuracies, bad data points, and misleading conclusions, suggesting that it can potentially harm individuals and mislead consumers. They also question the company's objectives, wondering if they prioritize consumers or the bottom line. Additionally, they highlight the lack of disciplined management and inexperienced employees as potential factors contributing to these issues. They emphasize the importance of accountability and holding everyone in the industry to the same standards. Despite wanting to return to testing products, they believe it is essential to address these concerns.

I know someone with an Alienware and I didn't have the heart to send him that L . I said lemme let him suffer in silence. He don't know any better and was like a proud parent when he bought it . Talmbout "look how cool the shell (case ) look on that bad boy".

 

[Rain]

I don't really care about the factual shyt, but the auctioning off a start-up company's water block (potentially to a competitor) is some real fukked up shyt.

EDIT: Cotdamn, these dudes really fukked this up

"Yeah...we sold that shyt. Our bad . Hey at least it's not on a shelf"

EDIT 2: Damn the company sent them a 3090Ti too and they still just used a 4090 instead

The reality is once you reach a certain size all that for the love of the consumer stuff stops when you're a corporation. Gamers Nexus barely has 2 million subs. LTT just on the main channel is 15.6 million. LTT is almost 8x the channel size. Just Short Circuit as a channel is larger than Gamers Nexus.

It's much easier for a smaller channel to hold themselves accountable.

Hell the subscriber count ain't even the biggest thing. His company is much larger than most YouTube Channels. MKBHD as 2m more subscribers with a fraction of the amount of employees.
