Also hmm nice tile: "Get this before the PS5" yeah right get it the monent it lauches without proper testing and use it with an expensive console because why not? you are dumb enough or maybe its a ploy to get the expensive TV reliize its shit wait for a RMA or refund, get a RMA and mess around and relize you can't afford a new PS5 and get a Xbox digital version instead

So I'm going to preface this as a huge disclaimer but I really hate sponsored content like this , and I really don't want to sound angry or spread hate when I say this but what was the point of the video? was it a show case? if it was one then why show an inferior TV? so was it a product placement then? Bingo it was it was a product placement to get people to envious about wanting a larger TV and spend money for big TV because well throught out the video you get disclaimers like "Oh the ports don't work at 4K, oh this model doesn't have high brightness, oh this a pre-production model doesn't have color calibration, oh this model has issues" basicaly this is really ironic considering Luke who btw I want to say doesn't work for LTT but works for FloatPlane and Linus discussed on the WanShow before that gettting a cheap Samsung B-series is better value for money. So why not talk in that angle? why force something that actually is really crappy at large sizes? Linus, I'm really missing the point of these "not sponsored" but actually sponsored videos. This video was just a placeholder to showcase TV's that will come, and aren't "released" yet and showcase the supposedly "value for money" without any god-dammed realworld testing whatsoever of something that will "come out" like you have to taakee your word for everything. Come-on LTT grow a pair and and actually make content for once! Also something else that's really suspicious? the video doesn't list a script-wrtiter which makes this even more fishy.

Short-circuit has hands on with sponsored content, its basically all the hand-on videos that LTT used to do before (maingear PC, laptop hands-on, etc), they just dump that on the new channel. I expected that since they are going to dump low quality stuff there the main channels quality would increase? but no, some of the main channel videos sound like a stretched 10+ minute short-circuit video (specailly sponsored conent vids..) I just don't want this to turn into another unbox therapy type channel or normie hype channel. There's already MKBHD, mr.whoosetheboss, mr.Mobile, Tech Chap, Android Authority, Android Central, etc. this is strong specially with reviews! I feel that linus now goes with what is expected from the consumers rather than what he feels, we watch his videos for his personal opinions after testing and using devices, or even the writters opinion. If the writters opinion is swayed by influence from the internet, I think I'm better off listening to the best buy rep.

Linus already does a lot of sponored content of LTT, and short-cuircuit is just more sponsored content with video sponsors (main-gear PC. laptops, and unboxy tech stuff). Some of Linus' recent videos on the main channel have been "unboxing", which could have been uploaded to 'short-circuit' instead? Does the existance of short-circuit mean better conent in the main channel? I really loved the older Linus review because the were in-depth (iSwitched [Imac 5k review], iphone6/iphone7 reviews?, S8 review,, he even did a great windows phone review [htc phone]) (or Luke's blue iphone video? I can think a lot of older videos that I liked a lot) (The ULTIMATE RGB PC Build Guide!) even some non-linus videos are great, the intro to Key-mouse video! Taran's keyboard and Bandon's camera videos! even their short-ciruit videos (Taran/Brandon) were well done compared to Alex sounding like he's reading a product pdf like a wallmart sales rep. I feel the channel is trading script/topic quality for quantity for the past 2 years. some of linus' older videos feel less obnoxious even though they are less polished (The ULTIMATE RGB PC Build Guide!) I'm not hating on linus or anything because honestly Linus is the reason I watch these types of videos and i'm just concerned for the channel/media brand in general. Linus is the reason I got into PC building and tinker around with tech as a hobby. I watched the retirement livestream live and I thought of not talking about this, but I don't know I feel like the company's video production is losing direction, because linus is appealing to the broader audience. There have been really good videos every now and then! the recent Linux video Linus once said that he didn't see unboxing videos as having a future, but now he does a lot on sponsored content to the point that its scary. also there's less and more diluted review for both CPU's and phones to the point I don't see a difference between other channels that don't do in-depth reviews (ryzen XT cpus? I expected linux to say they are crap like GamersNexus or Hardware unboxed), this applies to phone reviews too they feel really diluted, like something Android Authority or some gerneic phone reviewer would write because those channels try to appeal to the niches and sell products in the end. The older linux videos were poorly done, I dont know but I feel like if you put same effort as a server room upgrade in a linux video, linux video would have made a better videos but no. Also I have a buisness idea, but since i'm just 19 years old take it with a grain of salt, move all sponsored content to short-circuit OR make another channel that does proper niche tech conent with the 2016 style back, you have the capital to do this! I just want to end this saying I'm not a hatter or someone who is salty, I just see a lot of potential wasted... well maybe that is me being salty? idk How many linus videos does it take to upgrade anything? A. one for each sponsor, each for every custom cable
