News from Gamers Nexus. Including some part about the response from Linus regarding the previous video. Linus really likes to jump the gun and digging holes for himself.

    This is really stupid. Don’t care for either channel owner and don’t expect perfection. Again, this is stupid.

      It is relevant only insofar that if you rely on youtube reviews for stuff you buy, maybe don’t click on LTT videos any more.

      But that’s not exactly new advise, more from like… 10 years ago or so 😂. Still, they did a really bad thing here.

        Is it just drama for consumers to be aware of the potential risks when purchasing something? Do I just love drama if I write a bad review for a bad product?

        The point of Gamer’s Nexus is to review shit.

          Sounds like a problem for someone that idolizes either of them. Who buys things based solely on their YouTube channels. Idiocy.

            Reddit moment.

            You don’t have to idolize someone to buy something they recommend

            Average Joe who doesn’t know much about computer parts wants to play Warzone with better performance.

            Goes on YouTube and searches best GPU

            See’s LTT video recommending latest NVidia card

            Buys card

            I love how you care so little that you came here to argue with people about it lol

            I have never purchased anything from YouTube reviews, I don’t even buy computer parts

              Nah, it’s at the top of my feed and so little has been working in Lemmy recently except this thread. I’m here to point and laugh at people with strong opinions for either of them.
