I stopped watching LTT back in 2016, when I began to suspect Linus was corrupt, it’s all about the advertising. It seemed to me that If you don’t pay LTT, your products are not treated well or completely ignored.

Not wrong, but isn’t that like the whole tech scene? The videos are either utterly impractical stuff for entertainment, advertainment or playing numberwang with specs. Actual useful advise is extremely rare (e.g. what printer should I buy).

Linus is a great entertainer, but I don’t consider that the standard for the scene. Gamers Nexus and Hardware Unboxed for instance have way better integrity as far as I can tell.

You’re being down voted, but I honestly agree with you
I watch bigger tech videos for entertainment and the teeny home grown ones for opinions on what to buy. Even then I’m cautious. Do others not view these videos that way? That’s how these big YouTubers make their money. It’s a conflict of interest to present opinion pieces and assuming any of them are unbiased is naive.
