Linus is guilty of just the same clickbait nonsense.

Don't forget his annoying clickbait open mouth thumb. Can't stand those

  Blame YouTube and attention metrics for that. Neon text and stupid human cutouts on video splashes is what happens when you optimise for attention hooks. Eventually what we end up with is YouTube video lists that look like a competition for retarded peacocks trying to attract a mate. Although Linus annoys the fuck out of me anyway.

Linus is guilty of clickbaiting, but I have yet to see anyone accuse him of anything apart from impartial fairness in his reviewing.

  Haven't watched him for a while, but his perspective always seemed from a gamer which makes not much sense for creatives or developers.
  - danpalmer 4y ago
    He does very well at the gamer and general tech consumer perspectives. He doesn't talk about the developer perspective much, but when he does it's fine, nothing incorrect from what I've seen. He does talk about the video-based creative side quite a lot particularly for larger video teams, and that content always seems to be excellent – but I guess that's to be expected as his company is essentially a medium sized video production company so they've got a ton of real-world experience.

      I don't think I know any mainstream channel that focus around dev hardware. It's almost like Apple optimised their laptops for YouTubers all they do is review their hardware!

    As someone's who does all three (gaming, dev, creative stuff), are the hardware implications in terms of usability and performance etc. not similar between them? All might be considered power users, for example, who push the machines to their limits. What would a dev want that a gamer wouldn't? Battery life? Linux support?

      This is only my opinion and centered around laptops, but: GPU: depends on what you do, but pointless for many devs, unless you are into data science, useful for both gamers and creatives, but has different aspects Display: devs - high res & reflection free, creatives - colour accuracy, gamers - refresh rate CPU: not much difference, tho devs would likely prefer faster cores over more cores Memory: dev's are most likely to run out of it, unsure of rest Storage: creatives are most likely to run out of it and most likely to benefit of fast storage Keyboard: dev - something that works more than 1 month (looking at you, 2017 MBP), creative - whatever, gamers - seemingly rgb and mechanical Mice: opinionated, but you can't game on a trackpad Footprint: creatives and devs are likely to prefer slimmer machines, but only to a point Ports: as a dev, I really don't care, gamers aren't likely to care either, but for a creative I can imagine it's absolute dongle life

  He's reporting on a consumer product market, and trying to produce fun content when doing that. Make of that what you will, but to me he's way too goofy to consider seriously.
