I never found LTT that informational. Jayz2Cents was way better.
I prefer Gamers Nexus, then Jayz and tech yes last. Just my picks.
As a car dork as well as a tech dork, please don't tell me Donut did something bad as well.
This is where my old man shows, what does "based" mean 😂
I want to like Jayz but every. Fuckin. Video. was clickbait with bait titles
I only watched his watercooling stuff. But honestly some rando 100 view video helped the most.
Ditto, if I can't even tell what the video will be about from the title OR the thumbnail I'm not watching it.
DeArrow has been quite nice for clickbait titles and thumbnails. Made by the same guy who created SponsorBlock. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/dearrow/
I should rephrase my comment. Because I watched like 10 videos of his in 2018 when I was building my rig. They were all more informative than LTT, but its not like I was avidly tuning into Jay's channel. Quality everywhere is sinking at an alarming rate. Its as if the entire world is exhausted.
This. TBH, I wasn't fully aware that LTT was still a thing.
I'm not surprised by this whole thing at all, the only thing I'm kinda surprised about is that people are surprised by this in the first place.
Even in the first video I saw of him it already showed he did semi basic hardware mistakes and was kind of an ass, and that was years ago.
I've never taken him seriously, sort of taken him for a .. I dunno, for lack of better comparison, tucker Carlson like. Not a right wing crazy, but more of an asshat only to be viewed for entertainment and his "facts" never to be taken seriously.
