[–] exu@feditown.com 9 points 2 years ago (5 children) Why is this so heavily disliked? permalink fedilink source hideshow 10 child comments replies: [–] mox@lemmy.sdf.org 25 points 2 years ago* (2 children) LTT's analysis is often haphazard, poorly informed, or both. Predictably, that leads to a high rate of bad conclusions. Linus Sebastian in particular seems to put sensationalism above all else, and he overestimates his understanding of computer systems. I would not recommend his advice to anyone. I can't speak for other people, though. Maybe someone else will chime in with other reasons. I don't watch much of this kind of content (I prefer text) but from what I have seen, Gamers Nexus is a superior channel. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Ulrich@feddit.org 12 points 2 years ago GN actually has a pretty fantastic website full of written content, and even with a properly-working RSS feed. LTT has no such thing. That being said, GN is very high-level and focused approach (gaming PCs) and LTT is a more low-level overview of a lot of different stuff. permalink fedilink source parent [–] yonder@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 years ago Yeah, you can really tell with LTT that they make videos almost daily in the quality of their videos. I still find their content to be very useful to discover new things, but I don't really trust them when it comes to good conclusions and accurate data. That is where Gamer's Nexus really shines in my opinion, even though they cover different topics than LTT, being more review and investigation focused. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Alphane_Moon@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago LTT content. I will add that it gets downvoted on reddit a lot too. permalink fedilink source parent [–] The_Lurker@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago Probably because LTT has been shown to be deceitful, unethical, and unwilling to take steps to ensure accuracy. These two videos from GN explain: https://youtu.be/FGW3TPytTjc https://youtu.be/X3byz3txpso Prior to that I found Linus smug face intensely irritating. And when I went looking for information on stuff his videos would always pop up but they never actually helped. So while I mildly disliked Linus prior to the GN investigation, now I've actually blocked his YouTube channels.
