The Problem with Linus Tech Tips: Accuracy, Ethics, & Responsibility

Linus is a sociopath

You do reviews of products by companies that sponsor your channel. I’m so sick of this rush to pump LTTs issues to gain viewers. You might not make anything from this video but you better believe that all of you are betting on new subs and exposure due to videos of this drama. I respect gaming as valid interests of many people but… maybe you should all get your heads out your asses. Your channels are not successful because people love to watch your shit throwing at each other- drama induced viewer increases are so short lived that you’d think you guys would keep this to a minimum.

linus channel still entertaining but when i want unbiased data driven reviews, technical reviews, i look elsewhere
hardware unboxed i love their monitor reviews
GN - ultimate credibility

We are far away from their first watercooling video. Now it’s just a farming tech video machine and personably I’ve stop for a long time watching LTT

Linus is no longer CEO but isn’t he technically still the majority owner? (if you include his wife). So technically he still has the final say in everything.

LTT didn't seem to care enough to deliver even MVP.

Now i know why every idiot on reddit shills for noctua.

Yup.... I learned they were paid to promote items soon after watching their channel. I spoke up about it and Linus banned me from the channel. They are at the mercy of income from the products they supposively test and review. It's a lie!

Keep calling out the inaccurate bad data

Wow, I don't realize that LTT can't be trusted anymore (as accurately as their past videos). Thank you for noticing me, GamersNexus. If by chance, I was the one on their mistakenly-reviewed products, that would be a fatal blow for me and my company.

LTT got to greedy

totally agree. the call out needs to correct issues.

Subscribed. Also, Linus sounds like SpongeBob.

As far as the Billet Labs squabble.. Anyone could see they had no plan for that install. It had completely broke down. It was obvious that by changing all the components it would lead to malfunction. Shame on them for not being more aware of their own actions and boasting how good they were. Anyone spending $800+ on a water block. Would have had a clear detailed spec'd plan for that build. That wasnt the case with that review.

I’m a huge Linus fan but man, this definitely lowered my opinion of him!

Lol Linus poked the bear 😂

A channel should review the linus tech tips reviews

Ethics? Well, what would the motivation be for a competitor to call out another competitor in a 45 min vid.

Thank you for bringing this to everyone's attention. I hope this encourages change in the future

You reviewers are a reality show.

LTT = WWE
GamersNexus = Greco-Roman

Like how all the negative stuff about all the "mistakes" you guys have made just being shoveled under the rug 😂

It's good that you're pointing out how shady these guys are. They really haven't been a good source of info for years, since around their beginning.

With greater power comes greater responsibility... Calling out the big shots in the business can only make the market better. Well done GN.

Alot of people notice these mistakes but they assume that LTT might be the correct one and thus dont say anything

This entire video and everything stated in it is the reason you have the following you do.

I have never liked this Linus guy. He looks fishy af. Glad my senses were right.

Tech Jesus is right as usual. I cant listen to anything LTT says anymore. As a tech guy myself I noticed these kinds of problems a long time ago, but had no idea how bad LTT really was, its kind of shocking. I cant believe what they did to that startup cooler company either. Incorrectly testing a prototype and spreading that misinformation to millions of people while painting a negative view. Then selling that valuable prototype without permission, basically stealing from the startup after slandering it. Disgusting behavior.

Ok ok plau nice kids we need you both and jay

None of this needed to happen to develop the opinion that Linus is an a**hole with a huge ego. I unsubscribed a long time ago just witnessing the way he talks to other people on videos.

Thanks for bringing this to light. I respect the work you do and will never watch Linus again.

How dare you all make a video exposing Linus…don’t you know who he is?….😂.

I gave up on that buffoon a few years ago.

LTT is a joke, anyone who knows this space comes to GN for their info

Linus is an ego prick

Finally caught up and seen this. Very fairly done. Companies pay consultants a lot of money for this kind of analysis - you did it for free. Hopefully LTT will take all this excellent commentary on board and rethink their approach from top to bottom.

Exactly because I also ignore personal relationships, as I'm here for actual content, I dropped the video at 60 seconds or less. I don't want Mexican love story drama, I want tech. Waiting for the next real content.

Really not cool from LTT. That and otherr points in the past is why Im not subscribed to them. Thank you for speaking up about this!

Wow, that Billet Labs review was incredibly disrespectful, not to mention the auction which is a huge IP loss for the company. Hopefully other channels give them their due if possible if they can get another prototype together. I feel awful for them and lost a huge amount of respect for Linus bc of this, total asshole move.

Woohoo i never liked linus and im so happy my hunch was right lol😂

Here's a sub! Linus Tech Tips is a mess now.

lots of redheads at lmg.

I don't understand how they are worth $100 million.
Please explain:

Linus has sucked for years that's why I don't subscribe to his bullshit

Thank you for this video

Linus = click bait.

LTT has BALLOONED into something unrecognizable. Linus has shown his inability to be “down to earth” as he CONSTANTLY mentions he is the “boss” and loves to wear that badge. Truth be told I used to wanna work for them because I THOUGHT it was fun….but yea I picked up on his (and his high level homies) vibe awhile ago….it’s SAD

This is worse than User Benchmark!
