Noooo....these guys are known for installing spams and backdoors to your computer if you downloaded their antivirus. Quite notorious in Taiwan and China.

watching linus's videos was fun because they were obscure and random. there are millions of YouTube tech channels that are professional and have beautiful b rolls of products. we don't need one more.
what made LTT different from other tech channels was the gratefully lack of professionalism and random projects that Linus used to do once in a while, oh and all the random unboxings of ridiculous items.
I 100% agree with the OP that LTT is no more fun to watch and it's simply becoming just another commercial channel.
And damn I really want to see computex

should be fixed

I knew I would be burnt but thanks pal.
 
And yes agree he's still among the best out there, lots of other guys overdoing it and end up being too artificial.
But man I still remember once there was an unboxing of a video card, and the card was so new that the manufacturer had to include a random banana-brand driver CD, and Linus was so taken by surprised. I lmao multiple times.

Hi all,
 
I am about to make an unpopular statement but I feel the urge of doing so.
 
Over the past few months, a lot of changes have been made to the Linus videos. Whether it being the style, level of details or trivial stuffs like video angle. While I do agree a lot of these changes are good and do create values to the channel, and I understand in order to reach a broader population of audiences, these changes are inevitable, I am kinda missing the old tech tips.
 
Being a subscriber to the channel since its first few unboxing videos, I consider myself a loyal fan of Linus. What I liked about LinusTechTips was a) Linus's style and presentation and b ) the randomness of it all. In the recent unboxing videos, while Linus continues to depict his unique personality, he also gives a lot of detailed information about the product, (evidently from a lot of research beforehand) which is a good thing! The drawback to this, however my friend, is that Linus has to unbox the product and use it before even filming the unboxing video to give his feedback and thoughts about it. By doing this, we would be missing the good old days of "exploring how this stuff works together". It is fun to see Linus figuring out how to maneuver that strange button on the PCB. His reaction is gold.
 
I am not trying to complain about all the hard work that has been put into making the channel a better one and creating more value to the audience ultimately, but the inevitable increment in professionalism makes me really miss the old ghetto Linus unboxing and legit FIRST LOOK.

Thanks Linus for acknowledging this. I haven't thought of the perspective that even if the video generated tonnes of views, if you were missing some marketing points the manufacturer would not be happy.
 
How about this, as suggested by some other users: You unbox the product and give your first view to it, and add a supplementary cut to provide the detailed information.
Or, use some of the operating cost as a fund to buy more products so you can forget about pleasing whoever there is to please. (I am sure this option might incur too much of a cost to a new business like yours, but maybe when the channel becomes more lucrative, you can consider doing this?)
 
These are all just ideas that come in my mind at this moment. They might work, they might not work, but hey it's something you can consider of doing.
 
Cheers.
