Is anyone else annoyed with the uninformative titles and thumbnails of the last 5 videos?

 

I NEED AMD to Seize This Moment
I have no clue what this video is about.

 

I Got the GPU Made With LITERAL GOLD
The thumbnail is so fake that I have no interest in finding out how it looks anymore.

 

THIS is the Most Important GPU of 2025
Most blatant clickbait ever.

 

Bill Gates Paid Me to Upgrade his FIRST Computer
Bill gates had nothing to do with this at all.

 

This World Record took YEARS (and a Million dollars..)
Cool, but apparently you don't even care enough to even mention what the record is in the title.

 

For most of these videos we have no clue what they are about before we click them. Even if the content is good, nothing makes me lose interest faster than clickbait.

As title says, they haven't produced good GPUs for gamers like us so linus is shouting at amd and begging for them to create gaming gpu as linus sees opportunity for amd to seize the chance.

It's about gpu that is in gold meaning it's rare gpu that isn't just getting sold to anyone. I mean gold is rare since we get usually fake gold except in some devices.

It's about intel gpu and i do think intel gpu is interesting as they are still new-ish to the gpu market and considering their prices is quite good for consumers.

Which is pretty important to low budget gamers.

Ok then unsubscribe and good bye?

 

I'm subscribed to linus for years and i know what to expect from linus. Usually their channel talks about tech and news about incoming tech and finding out what's more available to tech or company.

It's mixed between serious and silly.

 

Lastly the Linus's staff will find out if views drops they'll go to meeting and figuring out new plan.

 

Remember linus doesn't control everything anymore just his staff does everything and their CEO its just linus is chief officer. 

I'm jank tinkerer if it works then it works.

Regardless of compatibility 🐧🖖
