    I hate recipes which don't use whole eggs, but instead only white(s) only or yolk(s) are used.
    Yes, unused parts can be used for other recipes, but I don't want to plan what to cook just to use remainder of eggs. It will happen more often than not that I will simply trash leftover egg parts.

    As someone who is professionally involved into IT for years I must say that so called tech enthusiasts are generally lacking A LOT of IT related knowledge, both in the fields of hardware and software.

    Regarding the DIY route here are my 2 cents. If that microphone has USB B connector, it will be through hole component that is easy to swap. In the case of mini or micro connector, those are SMD connectors and they can be tricky to solder for non experienced person. Also, there is a chance that connector PCB traces are also broken and I’ve seen many of those cases with mini or micro USB connectors. Finally , regarding the suggestion to attempt the repair, OP should be aware that that operation could make the issue worse. And I know lots of experienced service technicians who would refuse to fix someone else’s repair attempts after that attempt made an issue worse.

    This one is regarding making meat dishes where you basically shatter bones with cleaver to get flavour.
    Flavour which you will get is insignificant compared to the completely removing joy of eating when you need to care about millions of small bone fragments.

    Maybe they need game developers because “game” will just be the system GUI. It is not a first time that game engine is being used for GUI which has nothing to do with gaming.

    "Stopped watching" != "I never watch or get in contact with any of his content".
     
    I still watch the WAN show every week (although I think that has gotten worse and worse too), and every once in a while someone on the forum might have a question regarding his video or a segment, so I watch that. 
    When I say I stopped watching LTT I mean I unsubscribed and rarely if every watch anything from them. I also see the title and thumbnails of their latest videos here on the forum in the sidebar.
     
     
    They don't have to. They choose to do it because they are willing to sacrifice that in order to make more money. Their channel would not die if they stopped with the shitty titles and clickbait. They would just make slightly less money.
     
     
     
    Moving the goalpost. Someone said other big channels (tech or not) did not have to resort to bad titles and thumbnails and you said "as large as linus, with no clickbait" to which I gave you some examples from the technology category. Your response is "yes but they are slightly different from LTT so they don't count".
    My point is, you don't have to use clickbait to be successful. I think Linus once said on a WAN show that they estimate that they get roughly 20% more views from the shitty titles and thumbnails. If that's true then the stats looks like this:
    With shitty titles/thumbnails - 74 million monthly views
    Without shitty titles/thumbnails - 59.2 million monthly views.
     
    Are you seriously going to suggest that LMG would not be successful if they "only" got 59.2 million views a month?
    Hell, it wouldn't even be 20% less revenue since direct Youtube profits are a small portion of their total revenue.
     
     
    Also, if you think LTT is a "hard-tech related channel" for "enthusiasts" then you are sadly mistaken. It's a consumer electronics channel that mostly tries to make you buy the latest thing some company pays them to advertise to you. Hell you even said it yourself, Linus tries to attract non-tech-enthusiasts.
     
    And since when did LTT stop making "juicy stuff like new phones and cool mobile tech"?  Last week they made a video about Android 12 and WearOS.
    The week before that they made a video about gaming phones. 
    Like a week or two before that they made a video about phone lenses.
    A couple of days before that they made a video about a smartwatch.
    The list goes on.
     
    They make a lot of videos about the same stuff MKBHD does.

    kasugatei got a reaction from LAwLz in Why the awful video titles?   
    In my experience it doesn't seem to work that way. I haven't seen videos with stupid face thumbnails and clickbait titles suggested for me in ages. However, I can imagine that some people will have only those videos suggested. Youtube has smart enough algorithm to push content with high probability that user will watch it. It knows users well so I guess it knows that I won't watch that kind of content.
     
    I can't make any definite conclusions because as just one Youtube user I am irrelevant statistic, however I would say that people (kids) still fall for those thumbnails and clickbait titles and that's why they blame algorithm for it.

    kasugatei got a reaction from The_russian in Why the awful video titles?   
    Personally, I see stupid face on the thumbnail, I don't click. I see clickbait title, I don't click. However, if you want kids to click, they will be attracted by idiotic faces on thumbnails and clickbait titles, not by useful thumbnails or titles. If you have quality channel you don't need clickbait titles or stupid thumbnails, people will come and watch. 
    Regarding LTT main channel thumbnails are still "fine", but other LTT owned channels have so repulsive thumbnails that I've never watched any of them. I watched some Tech quickie 4+ years ago and that's it. I know that I am minority, but if I see clickbait + idiotic face combo, no matter which channel it is I will not click because I expect stupid humor which only appeals to kids and bad content.

    I said it before and I will say it again. Don’t buy anything that has overblown prices. 99% of people DON’T need that 3080 right now and certainly you DON’T need PS5 now as well. Little bit of patience is all that is needed.

    That's actually what I ended up gettting. Seems to have some advantaged over the deity v-mic d3 pro and a much simpler setup than the SM7. I actually called up a music store and talked with someone for a bit and they said this is the best she can get without needing proper editing software.
