I'm not Linus' target demographic, an older tech whose been there and done that, not really interested in surfing the bleeding edge every minute of every day. I knew nothing about Linus, maybe I had seen him in my recommended list here and there, I might have actually watched one of his early vids dunno, don't remember. What I do remember is I was subbed to an American dude who was (is still?) living in Shenzhen who loved going around to all the tech malls picking up parts, and fixing, then remaking old iPhones. I hate Apple, and have never bought a single one of their products, and never will, but this guy was so sincere in his reverse engineering and process it was captivating. One day, outta nowhere he said he was meeting another YouTuber, and that guy was such an offputting purposefully annoying cunt on camera, so diametrically opposed in tone and attitude as the channels host, I stopped watching the channel all together, just put me right off that the dude I had been enthralled by was such a poor judge of character that not only had he invited this Linus kook onto his video, but after experiencing firsthand how fucking annoying he was, decided to publish it.
So yea, not a big fan of Linus.
I wonder if you've heard of the concept of paragraphs to format a text
He's too old for that
Weird. That was about 1 paragraph. Wasn't very much text. Seemed easy enough to read to me.
Ever heard of using punctuation and full sentences?
Missing a single period at the end of a single sentence reply is a far cry from a wall of text filled with off topic complaining.
Well maybe that’s because I think it’s absolutely stupid to apply a standard to someone else while not applying the same standard to yourself. It’s an off topic comment that only takes away from the conversation. While I’ll agree that the top comment isn’t fully relevant, it’s still related. Not to mention the complaints are valid. I 100% would stop watching my favorite channels if they did content with Linus. I already stopped watching him years ago because of his narcissistic traits, how he acts, and how he communicates. So to me the top comment is more relevant than the post.
Oh shit I forgot the intro, 3 body paragraphs, and the conclusion. I guess my comment is irrelevant.
This doesn't have anything to do with Linus, fortunately for you. Emily's videos were the ones I was always most interested in, personally.
Yeah, those were the only tolerable enough to watch for me.
I think you're thinking of Strange Parts and no he isn't living in China any longer. You've missed a lot of great content in the last 6 years for a pretty silly reason.
Ok boomer
What's it like not being able to even comprehend that people have different opinions to yours?
Because clearly you can't, as a rational person would go "well I should just avoid the singular thing I don't like". But apparently it is so critically important other people - who you will never interact with outside of this context - are fully aware just how much the mere existence of another human being ruins your enjoyment of something so largely unrelated to that person.
You didn't have to say that this way
