    Many years ago when Linus started to aggressively use clickbait titles and thumbnails, people were pissed at the beginning but he said something like, Youtube is forcing them to do it…yeah right. That’s kinda when I stopped watching them, I wasn’t a big fan before anyway.

    Besides the cooler block part, the most annoying one is that if you invest in companies, good for you but maybe at that point you should stop reviewing their products. You are not in a place where you can be objective anymore. They did that with Framework and I think he also has shares in AMD? He kept pumping them some time ago.

    I see the vast majority of comments on the video are “ehhh, I watch them for entertainment”. I don’t find them at all entertaining and I actively avoid their channels because 99% of the time, the information presented is very generic or has nothing to do with the product. Plus the atrocious thumbnails/titles…

      When. You set aside integrity for fortune, you don’t get to complain about it. You’ve made a choice, just like I choose to turn it off
