This video is not monetized. This video covers our serious concerns regarding the data accuracy of Linus Media Group, including Linus Tech Tips, ShortCircuit...
I feel like whatever point Steve is trying to make here could have been a community post or even a short rather than what looks like a 45 minute hit piece on his competitor.
This appears (from the thumbnail and first few minutes of content) to be drama for the sake of drama. If anyone can summarise to the contrary, please do.
Yeah, I just finished watching it. I stand corrected - first impressions aside, Steve raises some important concerns.
I’m also impressed that he voluntarily de-monetized his own video, it goes a long way to highlighting the principles behind it. Not many content creators literally put their money where their mouth is like that.
I will be interested to see how LMG responds to this.
To Steve, I expressed my disappointment that he didn’t go through proper journalistic practices in creating this piece
I’d be interested to hear what Linus considers to be proper journalistic practice in that case.
The rest of his response goes some way to addressing a few of the concerns raised, but I feel this is going to turn into another “Trust me Bro” debacle (i.e. he cannot seem to take criticism on the chin, no matter how valid or invalid it may be).
I get it a tiny bit. Normal journalist practice would be to reach out for comment on a piece like this. Doesn’t and wouldn’t change the accuracy of the content though.
Okay asking LTT-s CEO (not him btw) would’ve helped, on the other hand nothing he wrote in the comments about “”“”“commiting payment”“”“”“” to Billit made the case look any better.
He is showing in video statements and fails done by LTT. There is nothing to water down to people like you. It’s either full data or you will misrepresent what was stated
Communit, post? Sorry but that would be a wall of text.
Short? Dude theres only 60 seconds. Even a good TLDR of a 44min script can et best be shortened to 15-20min

This was a lot of words for someone who saw a thumbnail and a few minutes of a 40+ minute video
I’ll have you know he uses Arch

Cool, in that case I’ll find some time to sit down and listen to his viewpoint.

That is, as they say, the free market at work.

Um…Why did I get @'d? I’m not on Rookehs side.
They’re posting from Mastodon, that’s just how it handles comment threads.
Oh look, one of the people Steve talked out. Just dismissing legitimate criticism.
That’s been the problem, corrects get relegated to a useless stub rather than a genuine effort to set the record.
He is showing in video statements and fails done by LTT. There is nothing to water down to people like you. It’s either full data or you will misrepresent what was stated
Oh, he’ll misrepresent what the video was regardless.
His parasocial relationship to Linus must not be threatened by facts and data.
rookie mistake
Dude, at least watch the video before opening your mouth and inserting your foot.
