- Comment on Youtube deletes and strikes Linus Tech Tips video for teaching people how to live without Google. Ft. Louis Rossman 1 month ago:
Of course their biggest scandal was rushing content and not being diligent with their benchmarks. I honestly never had the impression that they were really the professionals or experts they present themselves to be.
That being said, I think if you view their videos more as entertainment and an entry level content into the IT world for people who otherwise wouldn’t be interested, their content is acceptable.
I wouldn’t watch their videos expecting to learn anything or trusting their expertise/benchmarks, but just for the vibes. Luckily we have real experts like tech jesus to keep them in check. I also think people who actually seek to learn something will eventually figure out LTT ain’t it.
- Comment on What the fuck happened to YouTube!? 2 months ago:
funnily enough I was able to watch olympic replays on one of my city’s (Hong Kong) official broadcast YouTube channels, specifically HOY TV, but all the commentary is in cantonese. But it’s also region locked (I just tested it by trying a US VPN) so you need a VPN to a Hong Kong server.
