Scumbag Linus

Go to solution Solved by LinusTech,

I could have done one video, but I wanted them to be more searchable in the long run.

 

6 months from now, there won't be anyone who remembers these cards all launched together and they'll just be looking for information on the individual cards, so I want them to be able to find it more easily.

He is not a scumbag :) 

 

I will say his review was not very good in comparison to his GTX 770 and GTX 760 reviews. I was hoping for a more complete review, this one felt too rushed. I like Austin too, but his voice gets real annoying, especially when he says " Hey guuuys"   :blink:

Because you implied that I didn't want him to make money even thought in my original post I mentioned that I DID.

 

I didn't imply anything. I questioned why you'd even bother complaining about this if you want to support LTT Media. Is this just a troll thread?

Oh please, come on this isn't even an a big deal.

What If I told you the world would explode if youtube got clogged up with redundant videos? ik it's not a big deal, it was more of a joke but people are taking it seriously. This is like the comments section of a fricken Vsause video.

Lettuce think for a moment...

(I might also have OCD(maniacal laughter))

Funny coming from someone who created a topic about a video(s) that he decided to click and watch. Irony anyone?

Funny how I already mentioned people who don't read...

I watched them to support him.

I'm sorry that I took time out of your day, but you chose to click on this topic and read it.

I am not complaining about the time. If anything your post on the forum is more of an annoyance to people then the videos you are talking about. Didn't factor that into your almighty equation?

I did read your comment. Doesn't make you any less of a hypocrite when you made that snide remark.

People are taking it more seriously than I though...

Human error. Once again, you chose to click this topic. You also chose to reply to me. Did you "factor that into your almighty equation?"

The most civilized reply I have gotten on this topic! I was not aware of this "individual" unboxer title thought. It must have been in the small print

im not on the forums to argue, just to say what i think and be nice and helpful

 

hes not physically grabbing money off of you, and this is a brand new line of cards, i cant understand why you'd want to do one video for the whole series of new cards

 

besides, the 290/x arent officially announced spec-wise, so there will definitely be at least one unbox vid, one benchmark vid

 

the unbox vid is quicker to make and will mean that if linus gets it out asap, anyone typing 290x unboxing will go to his vid, see the unboxing and then will sub and wait for the benchmarks 

 

if you wanted to support linus, then the best you can do is spread the love!

Austin compared current and the new cards. His remarks about there being a 0% increase in performance of the R9-280X made me consider buying a 7970 while they are still cheap.

Did you not see the benchmarks at the end of the video?  Linus (well Slick) did the same thing with multiple games at the end of the video.

good to know I'm not the only one :)

 

@TheRuke:

oh, and regarding the video, uhmmmm, by now I'm used to seeing his reviews. I like some, some I don't bother watching the whole video. I don't like him nor I dislike him but I understand what or why he is doing his thing.

 

But i must admit that is one striking title you created.

I hope you keep in mind that he said the same thing about the technology used because not everyone will watch all 3 videos about the new AMD cards most likely will only watch one since they will be looking for that given one and you can't really say anything else about the same thing.

I prefer he did separate video for each card/products, i'm too lazy to skip through the video and no, he's not a scumbag.

The answer is easy. If you google for a certain card you will get that video with want info you want on that specific card that you searched for. Inversely you could argue that you were looking for info on the R7 cards but had to sit through all the R9 bullshit. I just want more videos.

6 months from now, there won't be anyone who remembers these cards all launched together and they'll just be looking for information on the individual cards, so I want them to be able to find it more easily.

Did anyone else notice Austin Evans uploaded a video with all three AMD GPUs while Linus uploaded a video for each videocard? I know he has to make money but seriously. After about 2 minutes of information he just talked about Mantle and said basically the same things.

Just saying, I watched them all from start to end to support Linus. I want him to succeed, but I don't know if that was the best way to present the GPUs

Please dont compare Austin Evans to Linus Sebastian, they are leagues apart. Maybe one day Austin will be at that level but as for now, Linus is easily the best tech host and i prefer individual gpu videos anyway.
