In the past 5 or so years, video format "news" and "reviews" has turned into entertainment, filler, and ads.

 

So, most of my news is from websites now.

 

https://arstechnica.com/

 

https://www.techpowerup.com/

 

And of course Reddit or Lemmy alternatives.

 

There's plenty of other websites as well, but I stay away from YouTube now.

[tech.guru]

Given there is not any new content for awhile.

Does anyone have any tech channels recommendations to watch instead.

[TylerD321]

I don’t really have any other tech channels similar to LTT to recommend, I find other tech channels bland. That being said you should check out “Stuff Made Here” or “Code Bullet.” They are both more on the software side in my opinion but I would consider them tech or tech adjacent but a different style than LTT. I really enjoy them both.

LGR and PhilsComputerLab, if they don't have to be oriented to recent hardware.

Uhm,  all the majors?

 

Paul, Bitwit (though he's gone kind of poopie), JayzTwoCents, Hardware Unboxed, GN, the Aussie boys, UFD Tech (but he's a tool), Tech Deals, etc etc etc.

 

I mean when you put LTT into Youtube, look at all the recommendations on the right.

 

Not sure if you know how to search YouTube or not.

Ill take a look at PhilsComputerLab

Someone that's been doing the wild ideas, but with polish and a lot less jank, is DIY Perks. He deserves way more recognition and mainstream attention, incredibly talented.

I assume he lacks the ego and memeness for most though. Plus, it's all custom projects. Less of the reviews, random sketchy crap from China, and aforementioned janky memes.

[porina]

I've largely gone off the mainstream but there are some I'm still following.

 

https://www.youtube.com/@TechTechPotato - run by Ian Cutress who used to be the x86 CPU guy at Anandtech. His current content doesn't overlap heavily in the PC enthusiast space but he did do possibly the best response to the LTT drama recently.

 

https://www.youtube.com/@pcworld - mainly for their weekly podcast "The Full Nerd" where they discuss news in PC space. May be a bit mainstream for my tastes.

 

https://www.youtube.com/@DigitalFoundry - probably best place to go if you want analysis on gaming graphics, PC and console.

 

https://www.youtube.com/@2kliksphilip - I'm not even sure how to describe this channel. I guess he leans into PC GPU/graphics but in a style unlike anything else.

 

https://www.youtube.com/@CraftComputing - I only recently found out about this channel, as the guy running it was in a panel at LTX which was streamed by PCWorld. What got my attention is his take on how the mainstream channels may not be providing useful data or opinion in GPU testing and leading to poor conclusions from it. I'm still checking out other content. Will see if this is one to follow for the longer term.

I thought I'm the only who thinks like this.

I guess divorce did a number on him (maybe)

[NullPointerError]

my source of 3C videos
 

MobileTechReview for laptops

Snazzy Labs and MKBHD for Apple Stuffs (I’m still willing to give a chance to Mac Address for this one)

Lon.TV for laptops and tablets

Geekerwan for in-depth review for SOCs, you’ll learn a lot about SOCs and the best explanation I have ever seen about why Mac laptops last longer than standard OEM ones 

GN, Level1Techs for PC hardware

 

I used to watch Mr Mobile until he keeps flexing that he has a foldable and keeps saying everyone should buy foldables

 

 

This is how smaller channel do battery testing laptop while LTT fails miserably, it is pretty insightful. (Remember to turn on the subtitles because of the terrible English)
 

And this is how they test power efficiency of smartphone SOC.

No.  He was flaking before then, and I think that's why she bailed (my opinion).   He became more invested in documenting everything they do, and you could see the underlying annoyance from her.

 

That's my take.  

 

UFD Tech has said a few antisemetic things in the past when he was living abroad, so I've put him in my "may be a racist" box for now.  He may graduate to my "just an asshole" box in the future.

+1 for Greg Salazar.  Not a bad guy.

 

I like the other Aussie guy too, can't recall his name.  Something Chap?

I'm not sure, but speaking of Australia, I just remembered that from time to time I also watch Jarrod'sTech and Singularity Computers.

Good choices too.

 

It's The Tech Chap, that's his name.  Not flashy but presents info how I like it.

I used to watch Carey Holzman, but later he keeps nagging why other YouTubers have more subscribers than him then I stopped. Jeff Geerling’s SBC videos are nice, however I have stopped watching since the price rise of raspberry pi as I know I can’t afford one anyway.

[MikeD8791]

I've been watching Jayz Two Cents for the last week or so without LTT uploads.  I've been enjoying his content: https://www.youtube.com/@Jayztwocents

 

[NickMach007]

Not flashy and high production. But Wendell over at Level1Techs is fantastic. He knows his stuff better than just about anyone. I've been watching him since back in the Tek Syndicate days...speaking of Youtube drama, anyone else remember the drama when Tek Syndicate imploded?

I still remembered that drama, it seems that the views of Tek Syndicate go downwards ever since.

My most favourite video of Tek Syndicate, anyway

 

[Basti0815]

I watch Youtube to be entertained, for technical information, I read. Reddit, Heise, rtings and whatever else Google and Bing bring.

[pcislocked]

Well... How come no one mentioned my beloved iPhonedo?

Does he upload regularly? I wish he did. But his production is top notch and his videos are *almost* never boring to watch. I'm one of the lucky few who was there since it all began, and I enjoyed watching Faruk abi for a long time. 8/10 can recommend, needs to upload more often + i miss the twitch streams a bit

honestly if people go to YouTube for part comparison they're doing it wrong, i get there's a whole cult around "tech tubers" but the truth is, they're just salesmen and their info is **not reliable**

 

 

watch YouTube for edutainment,  or just entertainment,  but not product reviews,  news, or scientific topics 

 

 

even the dude that invented "dwarf planets" isnt very good, yes, he's a scientist,  but so full of himself it's not even funny anymore,  and nobody needed "dwarf planets" anyway!
