This video is not monetized. This video covers our serious concerns regarding the data accuracy of Linus Media Group, including Linus Tech Tips, ShortCircuit...
I feel like whatever point Steve is trying to make here could have been a community post or even a short rather than what looks like a 45 minute hit piece on his competitor.
This appears (from the thumbnail and first few minutes of content) to be drama for the sake of drama. If anyone can summarise to the contrary, please do.
He is showing in video statements and fails done by LTT. There is nothing to water down to people like you. It’s either full data or you will misrepresent what was stated
Yeah, I just finished watching it. I stand corrected - first impressions aside, Steve raises some important concerns.
I’m also impressed that he voluntarily de-monetized his own video, it goes a long way to highlighting the principles behind it. Not many content creators literally put their money where their mouth is like that.
I will be interested to see how LMG responds to this.
To Steve, I expressed my disappointment that he didn’t go through proper journalistic practices in creating this piece
I’d be interested to hear what Linus considers to be proper journalistic practice in that case.
The rest of his response goes some way to addressing a few of the concerns raised, but I feel this is going to turn into another “Trust me Bro” debacle (i.e. he cannot seem to take criticism on the chin, no matter how valid or invalid it may be).
No. Being sponsored by products you review, auctioning off prototypes of reviewed products despite agreeing to giving it back, wrong and erroneous data - just some of the problems outlined in the video.
But the most funny thing is that GN foresaw comments like yours happening - the community will just scream and defend LTT - without realising how bad you are for other consumers. Congrats!

Oh, he’ll misrepresent what the video was regardless.
His parasocial relationship to Linus must not be threatened by facts and data.
rookie mistake

That is, as they say, the free market at work.

Dude, at least watch the video before opening your mouth and inserting your foot.

Cool, in that case I’ll find some time to sit down and listen to his viewpoint.
Oh look, one of the people Steve talked out. Just dismissing legitimate criticism.

Um…Why did I get @'d? I’m not on Rookehs side.
They’re posting from Mastodon, that’s just how it handles comment threads.
