Shitty blogspam article that just copies the original video by Technology Connections
- foundart 5y agoSure but I imagine it has resulted in a lot of exposure for Technology Connections.
- andrewxdiamond 5y agoThe person doing the work gets “exposure” while the copy/pasters get free ad revenue? Doesn’t sound like a fair shake to me
- notriddle 5y agoTechnology Connections has a Patreon, mentioned at the end of every video.
- andrewxdiamond 5y agoI know, I’ve been a patreon of his for years. That doesn’t change the fact that this website is milking his work for clicks

- systemvoltage 5y agoIMO The Verge, MKBHD, LTT, Snazzy Labs, etc are entertainment platforms, not tech reviewers. Often lacking conviction, criticism, strong opinions, technical know-how and ability to do the hardwork for objective comparisons. They spend more time polishing the video, studio neatness and thumbnails than informing the public. They're optimized for viewership and revenue.
- belval 5y agoI understand your point but I think it's a bit of an unfair take. If you want good depth in your reviews there are a lot of smaller tech youtubers that do deeper analysis, but the issue is that most people simply won't watch a 45 minutes review of the Intel i7-12700k that actually goes in depth. On top of that financially they are incentivized to make ~15 minutes videos because the 45 minutes one cost a lot more to make and brings in a similar amount. > They spend more time polishing the video, studio neatness and thumbnails than informing the public. To be clear I completely agree with you, but I think it's mostly because the public (or a majority of the public) simply don't care about being informed.
- bserge 5y agoNobody should torture themselves with 45min of video about a processor. Most of the useful information is text and images. Anyone making a video about it should rethink their fucking life.
- systemvoltage 5y agoGood response, I have a bias for the small channels over big production houses. LTT actually does go deeper (provide data and benchmarks), but it’s too overproduced for my taste.
- sdoering 5y agoIt absolutely is. On the other hand at least it shows the original video. Something I just watched in awe. Stunned about the ingenuity of the toaster design.
- masklinn 5y agoIf you liked the video and didn't know about Technology Connections, I can only recommend (strongly) to go through the channel's archive: Alec mostly goes through old or somewhat intemporal stuff, so technical and editing chops aside the content really doesn't age, and I've yet to see a video from him that's not interesting nerdery.
- sdoering 5y agoThanks will do. I love interesting stuff so I gladly will take a look.
- zem 5y agothe original video had nothing to read. there is zero chance I would have watched it, so I am glad the article summarized it in text for me.
- Tarsul 5y agoNo. It gives a lot of credit to the original and adds to the conversation with his own experiences with this toaster (because he bought multiples and even used them as presents). Your adjective doesn't fit here.
