I didn't find this to be overly dramatic or sensationalized. I enjoy knowing when one of the people I regularly watch are in fact assholes. Note, he didn't say they were assholes. He merely repeated what they did and called out issues. He said he wouldn't be covering the channel anymore after their response. Just decent journalism in my opinion.
Yea, but ever since Nexus started doing their "investigations", so much of their content looks like cable news. They now jump on all opportunities to drum up more drama.
How dare Gamer's Nexus....point out lies and widespread problems at LTT with Nexus backing every claim with evidence. The real issue is reporting on the issues!
Fuck LTT. I stopped watching their content ever since they introduced the "emoting faces" thumbnails. All I say is every time I see tech Jesus these days it's over some drama, affair and exposé.
Exploding components, fire hazards, evil corporate practices. It often feels that if there is no drama happening, Nexus will go out of their way to make one happen. Just like cable news.
Do you know what algorithms are?
Lol ok. As someone that is actually subbed to GN I can tell just by Tech Jesus’s demeanor that he does not enjoy these so called drama videos. He looks happy when reporting actual news and info whereas in the videos where he has to call out people and corps he just looks like he can’t believe he has to do this shit again.
I have not seen the other videos you're talking about but this one pretty clearly showed both consumers and companies why LTT should be treated with caution and skepticism. I'd say that that's relevant information beyond just "drama".
If you’re more concerned with the muckrakers than the muck idk what to tell you
LMG has a lot of issues. Clickbait, and now this.
I hope the new CEO will intervene sooner or later, although a lot of CEOs only exist as de-facto mascots.
I'm not sure the new CEO has any actual power when it comes to reining Linus in.
Yeah, Linus admitted that himself. He still owns the majority, and Yvonne owns the rest. The CEO really can't actually do anything that Linus doesn't want, he's just a figurehead and businessman there to keep Linus from being forced into the office and off the camera.
So a yet another puppet CEO, just like the in Twitter... oh sorry, X.
