The Galaxy S8’s Ugly Sister – But I’m into her…

You guys should put the product name in video titles so people looking for reviews on that particular product find the video.

I agree, this title is just plain dumb and makes me not want to click on the video. It has nothing to do with ugly and sister. It's called a Samsung Galaxy S8 Active..

It would be fine in my opinion as long as they add product name to the end. Obviously the Youtube search algorithm takes into account descriptions so they aren't losing all potential searches but having it in the title puts it higher.

 

EDIT: The video isn't even in the top 30 while searching...

Whoever at dbrand is deciding what skins to put on the phones before they send them to youtubers for review, are not doing themselves and dbrand any favors xD Jeez that skin does NOT look good. The front part makes the phone look like a cheap "luxury" Chinese replica of the S8. Of all their skins they could choose, they went with the one that is the least flattering xD 

NO! It's art, it's colonialism and you'll never get it!

this video is a joke, and it shows that linus became the average apple user/fanboy: clueless. if he has a defective phone then why tell 5 million people not to buy it instead of getting a replacement??

I just unsubbed from LTT for now, I really can't handle the titles of these new videos. Like common guys, even back when you guys were filming 20 videos a day in the NCIX courtyard (ca. 2008-2009) the titles had some meaning. I'm still going to be involved in the forums here for sure. But the videos of LTT have been boring to me for a while and the titles only make them more boring for me.

This link and other or most link you put under your youtube never works.

Buy Samsung Galaxy S8 Active on Amazon: http://geni.us/rbbO33

I get to Amazon but I can't see the phone or the price. this is where I end up. https://www.amazon.co.uk/?tag=linustechtips-21

 

And the dbrand skins you're using for all your phones are ugly. I have seen many better dbrand skins that is much better. don't use this skin it's making the phone fake or cheap.

I just realized the reason why the s8 active looks so terrible in the review is because of the hideous skin atop it.

I signed up for an account just for this post! The Amazon link is a lie to get to to give LMG profits off of your purchases. The link redirects me to the front page of the Canadian amazon since that's where I live. It doesn't actually go to a place where you can buy the phone.

The only place to buy a S8 Active is through AT&T for $850USD or through an overpriced ebay reseller...

I did find the S8 Active on the US Amazon for $1350USD though https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B074V251PS/ref=dp_olp_new_mbc?ie=UTF8&condition=new

Even if I was willing to spend that kind of money on a phone they don't ship to Canada and then I'd just rather buy a Red Hydrogen One for $1200USD lol

 

But that's just my 2.5 Canadian cents.

Unrelated but is there a reason to have ad spots before the intro? I noticed it in a couple of the newer videos. I'm indifferent about, but does it affect viewership or something?

I bought a lot of stuff from Linus youtube ADs or sponsored or the links he put on a youtube video. and I'm thinking maybe try tunnel bear too. 

But a lot of links didn't work, so I had to find other youtube channels that review the same product hoping they put up links to buy the stuff.

And they don't care if the links work or not. Like you said, I think the links are just click baits.
