I mean not long they shut down video production for a month after being called out for being shit at doing their job. Things haven’t really changed much since then.
Comment on Linus Tech Tips Tech Hoarders 2 - Helping a Retrogaming Collector Get Rid of His Collection

My impression from watching a few of Linus Sebastian’s videos is that, while he probably has good intentions, he overestimates his understanding of technologies to the point of sometimes badly misleading his viewers. I feel that’s irresponsible behavior for a tech presenter.

As soon as Linus starts talking about something that you actually know about, you realise that he is bullshitting you, and it immediately calls into question everything that you’ve heard him say about subjects that you’re not an expert in.
I had this realization about LTT years ago, but it’s a known phenomenon in journalism (the Gell-Mann amnesia effect) and seems to be even more common in YouTube journalism since the barrier to entry of publishing video is so much lower that publishing in print.

I think this happens in print way more often.
