If you go the video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsjHMzGl-VY. You will see it's gone. So Youtube being Youtube.
Here's a Odysee mirror of the video, https://odysee.com/@jopec:7/linus-tech-tips-degoogle-your-life-part-2-adfree-youtube:0.
Unfortunately this is just the way it is on YT now. Post clickbait thumbnails, or miss out on hundreds of thousands of views. Because that's the way YT likes it. They don't want to positively weight long-term high-quality content, they want to promote clickbait.
If someone cares about their view count then you shouldn’t give their content your time of day
Quite the opposite. If they didn't care about the view count the content wouldn't exist in the first place. No one makes content with the intention of no one watching it, and they certainly don't make high quality content that requires a team of people and expensive equipment.
They make them because it’s fun/they are passionate
And that makes them higher quality
At a bare minimum they make them because they're passionate about sharing with others. In which case they care about the view count. Once again, no one makes a video and uploads it to a video-sharing platform and doesn't care who watches it.
Having the time and money to dedicate to making high quality content makes them higher quality. If they have to work a 9-5 doing something else, and they record everything on a Galaxy S4 because they have no money, it's bound to be lower quality or just non-existent.
You need to spend more time around small channels
LTT is a good example of how what you’re saying is bullshit. All the money in the world but they’re still tech illiterate people making tech videos
You have I have very different ideas of tech illiterate. Most of the hosts have forgotten more than I care to learn. I guess if you work very technical tech stuff 24-7 you have a higher standard.
It’s just the constant falsehoods and misleading
What do you mean? I've found their testing graphs especially to be very clear.
Building on a budget? Blow the whole budget on a graphics card and upgrade the rest of it later so we can stay under budget. “We got this part for free so it doesn’t count against the budget”. “Let me stand on the computer case to get it to fit”
ROG Ally vs Steamdeck? Make sure you use a keyboard and mouse + always have it plugged in. Recommend the Ally over the Steamdeck because it’s better in the above setup

This video, why is he saying Snapdragon instead of ARM? It makes even less sense when he opens by saying he only said positive things before because of a sponsorship…then proceeds to have an ad
Also claims people think ARM systems fall behind until Apple fixed it which Apple ARM is irrelevant. The criticism of ARM is that it’s a different architecture. None of the graphics in the video matter because some things just won’t run
When he finally gets to the point that things just won’t run he says it’s fine because you would just use a dedicated gpu anyway and it only effects gaming…which is just a lie
We have had dedicated gpus on arm machines that doesn’t fix the “they are different architectures” issue that he is trying to mislead people away from
Here’s a video on it from a year ago https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=argfZlPZKdY
Though, he couldn’t get it working with Windows
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wl5H5rT87JE
And this pattern happens in all of his videos
Misleading graphs with no knowledge of the actual issue trying to be addressed
Which would tell me what, exactly?
Any you want to recommend?
I guess it depends what you’re looking for

If you want budget builds
Dude, this isn't the Youtube of 2006 anymore.
Content creating, whether for TV, Radio, or Internet is a job.
Just ignore the people trying to change that
