GN vs LTT, thoughts?

Techyescity/GN/level one tech, are my first choice for youtube tech channels then LMG for techmertainment but I haven't looked at their reviews in years, besides their AMD 7000 series, their numbers were so different than everyone else's it made me think wtf are they doing with this so-called LMG-LABS when they can[t even get a launch review correct.


Well I don't know what their normal numbers for videos are but the show Riley hosts had 40,000 views by today so I don't think it's affecting them much which is really sad cause they will not fix anything till it hurts their bottom line
 
I gave Jayz2cents a try, but something about him was always off putting to me. Not cringey in the way that Linus was, but it always seemed like something wasn't quite right.

While I've never seen it mentioned by anyone before, and I know this isn't what you're referring to, but I'm wondering if anybody else has noticed that Jay is constantly messin' around with his nose on videos, as though he has a hair up there that's bothering him..... it's pretty rare, if ever, that he DOESN'T kind of wipe at his nose, and when he does it too many times in any one video it actually gets kind of annoying. It happens so often that I've been tempted to ask him if he has some sort of medical issue with his nose! :LOL:

While it's fine to want a business you like to succeed, if they don't deliver a quality product you don't owe them a thing. Too many people get emotionally caught up about media personalities.

Which is, no doubt, how LMG has managed to sell so much merch.

He deserves everything that comes his way.

The community should come down hard.

The amount of clicks filling his bank account demands it.

That part in bold, I think, tells it all. The part that I find annoying, and rather hard to reconcile, is that he spends THOUSANDS on warehouse space, equipment, and all kinds of stuff to make any particular piece of content, and yet he balks at spending "$100, $200, $300, or maybe $500 for more employees' time" to retest various items to get the correct info into said video(s)...... it makes zero sense! :unsure:

Seems like Linus is almost doing the same thing NCIX did, i.e. got too big, too fast, at which point the quality suffers, and eventually bites ya in the ass..... his self-imposed schedule of putting out X number of videos per week, has obviously filled his wallet, but has clearly resulted in a detrimental effect on the video content. It seems like LMG needs a team of people whose only job is to act like newspaper copy editors, and review all the material before it gets uploaded.
 
Man…stealing my thoughts almost exactly. Jayz seems like a follower with a style I don’t really like. Optimum tech I like for the efficiency/undervolt and sff focused work, with HUB and GN my go to for most general content. That said they all have their own uniqueness that I don’t always agree with, but that’s my thoughts.
I can't quite describe what it is about Jay that throws me off. Maybe I'm getting a vibe like he's the type that's probably kind of a dip or really entitled off camera, or maybe it's a 'I have family money and just do this for fun' or something. There's no one incident that triggered it, and I can't think of an instance in the dozen or so vids I watched he did anything particularly tasteless or offensive. Just a 'feeling' I guess.

I could be completely wrong and the man might be a saint so I generally don't comment about it. Just don't watch his stuff personally anymore and for people that do; enjoy. As per my previous comment about people getting worked up about media personalities, just because I don't enjoy someone I don't need to hate on him or try to convince others he's bad news. Contrasted to Linus who, to me, was very obviously a twat ages ago. Between limiting staff discussions, being anti-union, the whole 'trust us bro' warranty, etc, I've had a low opinion of him for a long time.
 
@Shadowmeph , maybe it's just a slow time of year for numbers of eyeballs on YT content, so they colluded to gain some views of their content! ;) ...... NAH, I don't think so..... kinda liked Hardware Unboxed Steve's view on the whole thing. (y)
 
I finall;y watched it tio me its just a little bitch feast not sure wha tthe big deal about all o it is but is getting allot of attention which also is exactly what they wanted lol
'Selling' someone else' prototype is pretty damn scummy IMO.

Spending multi-million on their 'lab' in order to be the #1 spot for reviews but then having errors over and over and over. Not as big as a deal but not really number 1 if you can't trust their data.

It could be as simple as I said earlier, i.e. they've gotten too big, too fast...... I mean, it's POSSIBLE that Linus didn't even know that Billet wanted that prototype back, BUT you'd have to assume, based on what Billet said to GN, SOMEONE at LMG knew they wanted it back, and yet it somehow still ended up being auctioned off. :rolleyes:

I don't know I don't mind Jay and I find him to be honest and is like Steve from GN where he has principals,Jay told ASUS to go shove their money over the crap they were doing.

Dude, exactly right. Scum of the earth to auction off a prototype. Blood sweat and tears went into it and they post the dumb and dumber video review? They should have sent it to Steve or Jay.
