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.
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

Haven't watched an LTT video in 10 years, what happened?
Gnugit@aussie.zone · 23 pts · 287d
Probably just the same bullshit that made you not watch it for 10 years.

I’m a god and I’m not sure why I should forbid it?

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?

It's so terrible that one of his employees volunteered to throw themselves on the proverbial grenade and help him eat the cake.

Oh no, if I'm wrong, I'll do a muckbang and get tons of views from fetishists.....
artyom@piefed.social · 35 pts · 287d
I'm so tired of the thousand videos and articles speculating on price. Why? What's the point? Just relax.

Linus is so damn insufferable, why does anyone pay any attention to him?
Dariusmiles2123@sh.itjust.works · 18 pts · 286d
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.

Never heard of this, any source?

Gamers Nexus did a full hour long deep dive into him, very illuminating

Most of that attack piece was shown to be fake allegations though. It did contain some valid criticism, and the valid parts were resolved.
scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech · 2 pts · 285d
I'll send it back to you then, do you have any non-LTT sources that show that it was fake allegations?
artyom@piefed.social · -2 pts · 286d
Nope.

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 could just eat a whole cake if he wants to. He's an adult.

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.

Absolutely loving how many of these comments are on spite of Linus 😂 ya'll rule
