LinusTech getting funnier?

[_Rapid]

Is it just me or are LTT videos getting funnier? (Eg. I find myself genuinely laughing more)

I think this is status update worthy imo.

LTT is becoming the tech equivalent to The Grand Tour (or the Clarkson, Richard, and May era of Top Gear).

That's a good thing IMHO.

 

I'd love LTT to go back to indepth videos, but I really feel @LinusTech has to do what he has to do in terms of growing the numbers (He's said this is unfortunately the way the game is played on many occasions, and he's right). I also feel a lot of more "in depth" stuff came from videos where @Slick had more input/hosted, which obviously is reduced now due to him growing and developing FPC.

 

If I need to the bone depth on a certain product that LTT reviews/makes glorious B-Roll of, then I can always come here for more info from the community.

 

I think a more fair analysis would be that @LinusTech has become the tech equivalent of Neil Degrasse Tyson. Linus is now a tech educator, making videos entertaining to get people "through the door" as it were. Keeping them there and informing them at the same time is definitely his forte. Many youtubers can provide slide after slide of specs and metrics... but nobody entertains me with it at the same time as LTT.

Linus is just slowly losing his sanity

There are more people contributing to our projects than ever before. And everyone brings their own quirky style.

 

We also have more time to work on things, which means we could finish our videos to the same standard as before, then put our feet on the desk for the rest of the day.. or we can spend more time making them better than ever.

 

I hope it's obvious which one we chose

will slick ever come back to host

I really liked him and you linus

also have you ever thought about having a whole range of hosts?

I know you might get some backlash but having alot more people host would be a nice change from linus and weird thumbnails

Also whenever brandon hosts a video its so crispy(you need more of that)

I mean technically having taran for the bike videos brandon for like 1 camera vid every like year and edzel randomly is a thing

but I would like more of a rotating cast of hosts I guess(I also want slick back)

Well now I feel bad about what I said since Linus himself replied to the thread, I don't know about the funnier part but that great great video towards Intel's x299 surely shown how LTT is still serious enough to criticize when needed to and that was deeply appreciated to watch [:

If only Linus were to drink a gallon of chocolate milk for every dollar the x299 is overpriced by~

No Linus is not getting funnier at all. He is getting more cringe worthy for sure.

It's not funnier but it's less mature. For some people that might be funnier but for some it might be more annoying.

Totally agree. This is my first comment to one of his videos (The most Badass Editing Workstations EVER?!):

Yup, Linus is a grown adult and can take criticism easily as he is used to it. Its just getting a little long in the tooth for these silly thumbnails, and silly costumes, and food props (milk + patatoe). That should be aimed directly at Channel Super Fun where the median age is much much lower.

[Scitesh]

IMHO, Linus is the tech tube equivalent of the college kid who wants to be funny but isnt and just ends up annoying a shit ton of people 

 

Also, 

If you try to appeal to everyone, you end up appealing to no one
