Patreon : https://www.patreon.com/SocraticEchoSupport for high quality informative videos we are working on.Linus Tech Tips Video was released today, however...
Dont even need to watch the whole video. This is all you gotta see.
I don’t know about anyone else but is stuff makes fairly good background noise. They bring up a lot of tech news on wan show that I normally wouldn’t seek out, and at least there you have Luke to kind of be the f****** voice of reason, right? Most of that show is just sitting in the background for me waiting to hear Luke call Linus out.
As far as reviews, It’s great to have an early look at a card here and there or some of the stuff at a trade show. because they get access to it, but watching them actually try to test something is like watching Mythbusters. None of their actual product reviews are trustworthy in my mind. They’re too wrapped around sponsors there’s so much content you lose track of what’s being sponsored and what’s not. Like him buying into that laptop company, then putting them on every time he gets a chance. Your average person isn’t going to properly compartmentalize the cool features of the laptop versus he selling it to you. And honestly he is pretty damned effective at sales.
It’s very low investment entertainment for me. If I’m in the middle of a show and my wife says hey can you go do blah blah blah I just stop the show and walk away it’s no big deal. If I don’t come back and watch the rest of that episode there will just be another 6 hour long episode a week later.
I never understood why their channel have been so popular? Every video felt like a scammer who want to sell me stolen stuff.
Can someone explain the popularity of them?
top gear of tech
no one has any idea about the things they talk about but they do “wacky hijinx” and whinus is " nerdy endearing"
Yup, they went viral based off of Linus’s tech “fame”. Then went full sell out from there. Almost like the History channel did
I understand what they say, but in some cases I just don’t agree with them. They only show the newest gadgets and scream into the camera…
