    The entertainment value of LTT is there.

    And also some informational. I don’t care about the drama and don’t think Linus is a saint or shit. The videos are good usually. The rest I don’t bother.

    And the other one is is a genius, almost saint with anger issues and an enormous enrichment for the world community.

      I don’t watch them much anymore, but imo LTT was always best when they did stuff similar to Top Gear.

      For actual reviews others like Gamers nexus, hardware unboxed, rtings and others imo were always better. What I found frustrating in this regard is that LTT seemingly made a big push into the more serious review space with their labs, but at least from what I can tell that so far hasn’t materialized.

      My problem with LTT is that they have demonstrated for years that quality and accuracy isn’t a priority. They also aren’t experts in tech. The drama stuff is just icing on an already bad image.

        In your opinion, who is, and is it on a single digit list of people who are for you?

        Seeing lots of downvotes, but no answers. It’s always so easy to point out who isn’t an expert, but people get so insecure when they have to provide counterexamples that aren’t just outliers. I guess people fear themselves.

          I don’t know what you’re trying to say here, but I’m going to guess you’re asking who is a reliable tech expert. So if that’s your question, here’s my answer:

          For general hardware/server/enterprise stuff: Wendell from L1

          Consumer hardware repair stuff: Louis Rossmann, although he’s been doing less of that for a bit

          Linux stuff: anyone of the Jupiter Broadcasting hosts

          BSD and ZFS: Allen Jude

          More general consumer hardware reviews and stats: Gamers Nexus
