GN has really gone down a path the has pushed me away from their content. Just to be fair, I don’t really watch that much LTT content either. I’m not pulling for either party here but GN has really jumped the shark with their investigative journalism. I prefer the technical reviews and content.

 
and this is why I just watch Hardware Unboxed 😅

I will give GN some credit. There are times when their attacking journalism has been beneficial for the community.
 
Linus and all of their "group" are about to be slapped down, hard, and rightly so. GN have been the most objective and fact -focused tech YT channel for many years. You can just tell from how they invest their money (ex: like the thousands upon thousands in testing equipment, meters, and similar) that what matters to them is the truth. LTT, on the other hand... aren't like that. Google -knowledge from a bunch of salespeople trying to be "influencers" isn't even in the same universe as GN, and taking them on in this way, I hope, will cost them dearly.

The problem I have is that a lot of the time it’s heavy on personal opinion. I think they can still do good without the over dramatization.

I always viewed LTT as entertainment. Nothing more. Similar to Jayz.

I viewed GN as a source for technical information.

They Both make me nauseous now. I have stopped watching so many tech channels.

Idk maybe my age is catching up with me.
 
I think the problem for both is sensationalism drives views. Many creators have even talked openly about click bait titles makes a huge difference in viewership. It's a problem in all media imo.
