LTT Expose by Gamers Nexus

[t3chg33k]

On multiple occasions GN has pointed out problems and actually fixed graphisc card issues for Nvidia and Intec Arc. Mega corps have reached out to him to find out how he managed to fix the issues in the products they made.

I have huge respect for both Steve and Linus. They're both selfmade, but from a technical standpoint, I trust Steve more than Linus. LTT became greedier by the day in the last few years, this shitstorm was bound to happen.

A leopard never changes its spots.

His videos, from the beginning, have been poor on facts, mainly because he doesn't possess anything beyond surface-level knowledge and isn't inclined to spend time to learn and get it right, at the expense of churning out more videos with sponsorships and merchandise ads.

His replies to comments pointing out his errors have always been extremely aggressive on account of his ego, to the point that it is not worth it. The problem is that he let his narcissism pervade through the company he founded, and it gets problematic when it grows beyond you.

His success though is on account of getting the market right, which is more about consumerism and entertainment than facts. You have to be really disciplined to want to focus on quality over quantity while losing out on income, and that would never work till Linus is at the top.

Still enjoyed Scrapyard Wars (season 1), though!

You jest but that is how most 'fans' judge a channel.

"LTT is bigger, older and has more subscribers, and also Linus makes jokes. So they are better than GN!!"

They don't know that LTT has nothing on our Technical Guruji. TG has more subs and makes equally lame jokes in Hindi.

Oh, what did he unbox there?

I hate that line - Chaliye shuru kartey hain.

I only watched one video long back. It was cringe, never opened his videos after that.

Now he compiles all the news into one as he does not have content. But he has 23 Millions subscribers.

All this negative publicity for LTT and GN works in their favor. I hope everybody here understands this

Whether it affects sponsors remains to be seen. However they seem to have lost 300k in yearly revenue from floatplane subscribers.

There's no such thing as bad publicity on YT. More views = more $$ and more exposure

Even more true since yt decided to hide the dislike count.

That was a scammy move in itself. YT/Goggle doesn't care if what you watch is true or not. They just want you to stare at a screen mindlessly watching ads

And funny thing is LTT had their video not only monetized, but were shilling their own product I hear (it was too cringy I couldn't watch it completely)

God bless Chrome extensions:

This precisely. Brands send new products to experienced/knowledgeable folk who can properly review it. If LTT is not bothered to read instructions/compatibility list, they are worse than a lay-person in this regard.

Mouse feels weird? Pick it up and flip it over! How can an entire team miss the protective covers? They've become lazy or burned out from overwork at this point.

That’s mostly because they choose quantity over quality. Even then , retaining the quality to some extend shouldn’t be an issue if the testing time allotment is increased..

it would have worked in LTT favour if it was mistakes alone. Sexual harassment will not work in their favour. They will get back slowly but this is bad, pretty bad.

For GN, it went well, really really well.

 

[SkyWreak]

Its sad to see the channel like LTT going to this way , Have been watchung them since 10 years and noticed that from past 3-4 years they have been focusing on merchandise and quantity of videos insted of quality .

For the current state of LMG, viewers are also equally responsible. The audience has a hive mind. It was praising and loving the videos until Steve from GN came and called out on LMG. And suddenly the audience flipped.

The audience had to be told by an outsider. Why couldn't the audience grow some conscience and call out BS from time to time when it sees one?

Recently, they unboxed a business laptop on their unboxing channel. The host of the video started game benchmarking on the business laptop. I felt it was stupid. But the audience was loving it. Who's to blame here?

 

[BullettuPaandi]

Who's to blame here?

LMG for sure. There has been multiple occasions when people have questioned or called out in the comments. LMG just addressed them poorly, if at all. Worse, kept repeating this and as a final nail, went on other YouTubers who do a fair job at this.

They just chose & continued to cater the disproportionately larger audience who didn't

call out BS from time to time

Truth is everyone's enjoying the drama and milking views by making their "reaction"/"take" on it.
