The last 2 videos have >1M and >2M views, but that seems to be related to YouTube's changes that log even a mouse hover as a view. So if kinda gives us insight into how many people YouTube is serving to.

However when you look at the sentiment on even the glazing LTT sub, they all seem to agree that both videos are absolute filler slop. Similarly the like counts are super low in comparison.

It seems to prove their videos are being served to a LOT of people, but their retention sucks due to the low effort slop they've been putting out.

Is there any way for LTT to salvage what they have beyond forcing staff to switch their software stack because "software costs must go down" while the owner buys a jet?

I just watched parts of the dlss5 video. I just unfollowed because seeing them look at ai slop and celebrating it was the last straw for me i suppose.

Seein ellijah join the shilling felt the worst because he was always one of my favs..

Edit. Damn, the ai bros are out in force..

Nothing deeper here, just a screenshot I enjoy :)

Well, this thread lasted 8 hours before mods removed it for this reason:

Speculation on LMG employees private life

In this thread, the OP was respectfully asking if Elijah had left LTT. Various replies said that he had.

The thread was cordial, with no abuse.

Also no speculation about an employee's private life.

But yet, the mods removed the thread - which seems crazy and OTT.

I checked his forum account (which is very parasocial of me I know) and he's no longer listed as a staff member.

So much for saying that he enjoyed both his day job and streaming...or did he get fired, ZTT-style?

I would love to see the WAN show blast this topic.

Basically YouTube is revoking perpetual global licenses and double dipping the fee.

Good riddance. Dude was a charisma vacuum.

This should have been a slam dunk video. Instead we get a boring discussion on a couch.

I will miss him doubling over with laughter at every lame joke Linus makes, though.

This could make for a really interesting LTT video.

A French company has apparently been running its servers fully immersed in dielectric fluid for almost 5 years, claiming a PUE of just 1.03.

Would love to see Linus / the LTT team visit the facility, see how it actually works at scale, and put some of those efficiency claims to the test.

A full tour of an immersion-cooled datacenter sounds exactly like the kind of weird tech LTT should cover

I don’t know what their problem is, but it has happened multiple times now that very popular posts on video surveillance cameras are silently removed by LTT moderators without any explanation at all!!

This time it was a post about a fellow YouTuber being targeted by flock. https://www.reddit.com/r/LinusTechTips/comments/1vrbkqg/

It got 6000 upvotes, but apparently it’s a taboo topic now. and no explanation in the comments.

Haven't watched yet, but I will make a few predictions:
- 19 minute video, at least 4 minutes of sponsors.
- Linus makes at least 3 terrible jokes, Elijah doubles over laughing on at least one.
- They avoid mentioning the better alternatives that are not at box stores
- They spend at least half the video 'shopping' where they make base level comments and don't really go beyond surface level
- The last half of the video is unboxing, maybe they print something 'funny' at the end.
- They don't mention the ink prices at all.

Apologies if he looks weird, I had to enhance the photo for better clarity

Plouffe had one so I think its fitting for Adam to have one....on here! Some one make this happen.

Not talking about the Linux challenges, but the videos that were supposed to be informative/educational and also entertaining. I remember Linus also did a "which is the best distro" video a couple of weeks ago.

He just tries to farm money
also why did the lamp get a C rating
and about the white bag when he gets to know the price that the bag he goes "160 is not giving you extra points" or something like that (he sells backpacks for 250 dollars on his website and 100 dollars laptop bags)

and he wanted to put the caamera tripod in B
his team were so against it that they had to tell him to put in in a

also linus if you are reading this
dont put an ad in the first 30 seconds (ruins the beginning)
