    Sprayingmango got a reaction from Skipple in Gamers Nexus calling out Linus for monetizing on his own controversy   
    I've been a Linus fan since his early days and I gotta say he has changed dramatically over the years. He's really become almost heartless in his salesmanship. I find myself rarely watching LMG stuff and I've unsubbed from all the channels except the main one because Linus has become almost unbearable to watch. He's just trying to sell us crap constanstly and he doesn't seem to care. I go to actual news sources now instead of all the influencer BS that LTT pushes. Linus and his crappy $250 backpack and $70 screwdriver sealed the deal for me. $90 hoodies?? Seriously? LTT has become a merch machine and nothing more.

    Why are people on these forums obsessed with what people spend on their hobby? We are all tech enthusiasts and I've been building custom systems for myself for gaming for over 20 years. You know, adults can have successful careers and disposable income to spend on their hobbies.... 
     
    The X27 and PG27UQ have the same panel btw....they are identical and the only difference is the bezel (and maybe a quieter fan on the ASUS display).

    There isn't a reason honestly, I originally thought it was going to be LTT's way to move from YouTube to their own platform completely and go to a paid only subscription. It might still be their endgame so I still stand by that assertion, no matter how much LTT denies it (I mean come on would they really ever admit to that ). However I don't think it'll ever leave the water, let alone fly.
     
    Honestly it just shows how two-faced they are since they don't use clickbait titles on floatplane unlike on YouTube. Also as for the 1 week "exclusive" videos that's just double-dipping in my opinion. Also the whole "floatplane puts creators first" shtick is a joke as that is literally how YouTube was originally, if they ever do somehow gain any significant viewership they'll have to filed DMCA take-down requests and pull income from creators for it just like YouTube does currently. The only thing that prevents that now is their size as they're not big enough for other large creators/companies to go after.
     
    Also given enough time, if they survive, I bet you'll see ads show up on there as well even though it's a paid service (just like cable) so that argument is bogus for using Floatplane. Suuure you can argue that Linus has more integrity than to cater to the need for money but that has literally been his specific reason making unpopular changes in the past (e.g. using "at the end of the day we're a company" as the reason for cranking the clickbaity titles to 11 on YouTube).
     
    I've never used it and never will for that matter as the whole thing leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth. Here's to hoping that they give up this money-grubbing ruse and spend that time actually creating original content like they were known for in the past!

    Yeah, basically. It was also way easier to interact with LMG staff which was nice.
     
    As a non-vessel, but early-ish Floatplane subscriber. (the website itself didn't exist yet)
     
    It's main advantage would be early access, which does exist. Unfortunately for you CES is just a really bad time to be subbed as events like it get pretty much simultaneous release's. There also used to be a secret sub-forum which the videos got posted too, and honestly I found it more enjoyable to read discussions/comment compared to Floatplane directly. Little disappointed it seems to have been nuked since the migration.
    You do get the occasional exclusive video, but honestly that's pretty much it IMO. There is still the ability for better quality video + downloads. I guess.
     
    IMO - the only reason I'm still subbed at this point is because it is so cheap I just don't care, however once LMG bump up the sub cost I will probably bail.
     
    Honestly as a Floatplane sub it has always felt almost neglected from the LTT side of things. Like when retailers send out vouchers to known customers, but not the high-spenders because they know they will spend the money anyway.
    For example videos will randomly turn up quite late, or incredibly early. The the video could have horrible audio or get taken down after 30 minutes because sensitive info was left in then the video will turn up 10 hours later. Or YT will receive a different video because Floatplane complained about something.
    To put it a little more succinctly. At times LTT Floatplane has felt somewhat like Beta or QC for LTT (To be clear I mean LTT, not Floatplane itself) or an afterthought during streams. When I feel like it really shouldn't be like that considering we are paying directly. I understand Floatplane is in Beta (ish), but I didn't realise LTT was.
     
    EDIT: The only reason I saw this post was because I came to the forum out of habit looking to see if there are any new LTT videos(floatplane sub-forum). Went to Floatplane.com only to find I had been logged out automatically for the 1000th time

    I mean I was a Bronze Contributor for a long time, so I had access to the FP forum too, I never paid it for the FP videos only because I really like the forum, and the forum was the only appeal FP could have... that and the special username in blue.
     
    Now that it seems all is gone that's pretty pointless in my book.

    Yeah the forum is gone. I was an early Floatplane sub last year, and let it lapse. So I joined again to see what it's like now that it's on a new domain. Don't really see a point to it now. I did enjoy the exclusive streams that they used to do and the conversations on the private forum were really nice. I felt like they were almost worth more than getting the videos early. I guess CES vids couldn't really be a week early because it's more time sensitive, so that's a good point. 
     
    I'm aleady a YouTube Premium / Red or whatever subscriber so I don't see extra ads, only the baked in ones.

    Obviously you have to understand that it is still in early access so expect to see some glitches from time to time, as @Lathlaer said there are definite pros to having a FP account but if you do find that it isn't for you then you can cancel the plan.

    Sprayingmango got a reaction from JuanDeag8 in GPU NOT USING 100% and STUTTERING ! HELP!!!!   
    I have found that certain apps running in memory can cause weird issues like this. I had to stop using the Intel Turbo Boost Max utility on my 7900X system because it would cause issues exactly like this when gaming with SLI. I could turn it on / off and watch my GPU usage go up or down like a switch. I've also run into certain issues running the Samsung Magician software. 
     
    Try disabling apps that are running one at a time to see if it stops the issue.

    I did use DDU to reinstall 417.01 it didn't fix the issue at all and then I installed 416.94 without using DDU (checked Nvidia clean installation), now edge browser is working fine like nothing happened.
     
    I think DDU is useless because when use it, it didn't remove the monitor color profile still set to full. when I installed 416.94 with checked clean installation it removed the monitor profile it went back to limited.
     
    417.01 is broken.
