I'm not saying that I don't see where everyone is coming from, it'll just be dependent upon if LTT decides that having a higher end PC and entering this breaks the rules or not, the one thing I really don't want to see is someone who has the money to buy a higher end computer end up winning this when there are others who made very interesting videos who didn't win. We'll find out when they actually decide upon the winners though.

If you are looking for a more technical and serious YouTube channel try Level1Techs, I enjoy new LTT but I do think sometimes the editing gets a bit over the top. However, to stay profitable and earn enough money to live and grow a business you have to make changes. LTT has changed and if you really don't enjoy it then don't watch it, its the only way for them to truly know if the changes they are making are for the better.

Heh... it kinda feels that way, doesn't it?
 
It's always funny to me when I see people "hearken back to the days before dick jokes." Please, show me when those days were. Linus has been making dick jokes and sexual innuendos since day one.
 
I've said it before and I'll say it again - most people have rose colored glasses when thinking back on our old content. And in some cases, these complaints come down to the viewer changing as much as they come down to changes with our actual content.
 
Now, with that said... in this case I do agree that we have changed a lot over the past 6 months. Some of that is by design, and some of that is just a learning process. We have five new writers on staff as of this year. Most, if not all of them, had never written a full-on tech video in our style before they started here. So I think it should be pretty obvious that there will be a growth process - maybe they're adding too many memes, maybe they're adding too many dick jokes, but they're learning and they're getting MUCH better. I'm incredibly proud of the work that every single one of our guys is putting in because, in the long term, the diversity of opinion and interests is what will make our content continue to improve and continue to serve our audience day in and day out. So yes, there will be some growing pains, but we're focusing on the long term here, and to be honest we're already seeing massive, massive improvement.
 
Similar thing goes for our editing staff. We have the old guard, but we also have new faces who are learning. And with these creative roles we don't want to put people in a box and say "this is the form of our videos, you must do x y z and never experiment." Sometimes these experiments lead to incredible results, sometimes they fall flat. But it's an important step in the process that I do not want to unnecessarily stifle.
"Always leave them wanting more"
 
It's a great series and we don't want it to get stale - we're saving it for truly impactful topics so that you guys continue to enjoy them in the long term  
I really don't know how you can try to claim that 16K gaming, Sleeper PC, Project Orhtrus (which we had a world exclusive on), and the Taiwanese Recycling showcase video aren't "unique" projects or videos. Feels like you're framing reality to fit your narrative rather than actually basing your judgement off of the content that we're releasing.
 
The whole point of our channel is to take technology to the extreme and do something that the average viewer couldn't do on their own, whether that's getting a cool experience or tackling a huge project.
90-95% of our videos have been scripted for the last 3 years. As mentioned above, we have some relatively new writers on staff so there are some growing pains, but that should be a short term issue.
