They also have a website with a written report for most videos, like this one for the Linux benchmarking video: https://gamersnexus.net/gpus/rip-windows-linux-gpu-gaming-benchmarks-bazzite

I know, most of their content isn't published in text form though.

Used to be the other way around, their more detailed reviews were on the website, again Steve doing the writing, YT being more of a complimentary channel. But I guess once the YT channel started to take off, he saw the hard cold truth that it just gathers way more attention and gradually focused less on the text reviews.

Tbh I preferred their website more, gave me the option to read it at my own pace, and focus on the parts I care most about, not fiddle with forward and rewind on YT, and having to pause to look at the charts in more detail and peace from the cosntant commentary track.

That's exactly why I prefer written articles, they are more concise and quicker to process. That being said, when I do watch GN videos I do find their sarcastic style to be entertaining.
