I honestly don't see that happening, at least any time soon, not for several years. She has just as big a stake in LMG as he does because they built it up together, she was just in the background but she is just as much a driving force as he is, his success is also hers and divorcing him would decimate the channel and in turn her source of income.

I have watched the Linus stuff for years, I believe he himeself is still truely striving to output the most accurate content possible, its the whole purpose of the labs hes invested is own money in. However, what hes attempting to do and the pace at which hes attempting to do it are bound to expose many flaws along the way. Worst still is the reality the channel now has grown to the size it has is its dependant on both clicks and coorporate sponsors, each one of the 120 staff need paying at the end each and every month, once that happens (and Linus himself has probably realised the same thing) you are no longer able to be a) total diligent and b) 100% impartial. I think calling him out at this relatively early stage of the new venture is 100% correct and useful for the LLT guys to realise changes are required as they are going to be held to account.
I thought the GN vid was quite insightful, I had noticed more and more on-screen corrections on LTT videos and thought they were becoming more rushed and unprofessional but don't watch enough to realise how many were incorrect.
What a weird take.
Responding to Ridiculous Comments from Gamers Nexus & Hardware Unboxed on My Last Video
This is a follow-up to my previous video to clear up the confusion. Check out the first video here: https://youtu.be/oPBjyn8nkEUSocial media:https://www.inst...youtu.be
Oh yeah then there was this where Steve came across as a complete *****.
I had an FX-9590, it was not a good CPU, however watching a lot of tech tubers at the time and since i would have believed it was completely unusable, that's not the experience i had with it, it ran all of my games with an R9 290, a high end GPU at the time just as fast as a GTX 780, perfectly fine, and yet a lot of these channels would say that a dual core Ivy Bridge Pentium G was 2X as fast in games, that became the prevailing understanding to such an extent it became a meme.
And yet the 4690K it was replaced with ran little better most of the time and in some cases worse.
I would love to have seen a dual core Ivy Bridge Pentium G run a 64 player BF4 map with an R9 290, because the FX 9590 did that just as well as the 4690K did, i have no doubt it would have been a slide show.
If they don't like something they will publish reviews with their own personal bias all over them, Steve Burke hated Threadripper early on, he couldn't criticise them for being faster than the Xeon's, but he didn't like it, all the way through Gen 1 Threadripper sniffing and snarling at them using the "AMD MOAR COARS" meme from the Bulldozer days over and over again.
He never had this problem with the high core count Xeon's, ever, always gave them high prase, along comes Threadripper smashing them and he hates it.
Same with Intel's GPU's, they have already decided that AMD's job to make cheaper Nvidia GPU's for us isn't working, none of them ever did like AMD's GPU's much even when they were competitive, its why we are in this situation, so now they over promote Intel GPU's and they are not telling you the whole truth at just how bad they actually are.
I don't really trust any of these large reviewers.

Grown men thinking they are 1337 because they watch top-shelf Gamers Nexus and only occasionally watch LTT so that they can get involved in the dramas (i.e. you)
Linus doesn't know you exist. Stop trying to rim him

I thought the vid was hilarious. Shame the didn't monetise it as it has 1.9m views so far and almost 40k comments. The people that are defending LTT are on another planet. I personally could care about the errors in the testing. I don't watch LTT cause its crap but what they did to billet labs is unforgivable.
I doubt it, aren't they high school sweethearts? If she was gonna ditch him she would have done so long before he moved in with her in her parents house, that makes no sense at all.
Yup, they shouldn't have done it.. at no point should it have gotten to that stage either. The position to auction it must have come from top down so someone high up must have okayed it.

GN are no saints themselves - they do post contradictory stuff. They know Linus, if they were so concerned why not approach and raise issues with him directly instead of putting out a video? Clicks.

Just lol. You do know they've had a NINE figure offer for LMG already? Anyone who's married would know that if his wife wanted out, after that offer they'd be out already.
Yet they didn't monetize the video, so the 1.9 million clicks so far hasn't earned them any revenue.
Because if they did that that Linus would have tried to keep it all behind closed doors and subsequently brush it under the carpet. We, as the consumer, have the right to know if they're issues with data and accuracy that we might reply on to make purchases that'll run into the hundreds of pounds

Video above says it all.
TDLR. Linus caught with his pants down with false figures and data on many of his videos.
What triggered this? Someone from linus media saying how there reviewes are more accurate than other youtubers etc...
Its all in the video. well worth a watch

That story with the billet water cooling thing is absolutely despicable.

Ok please close or merge this to that one.Already a thread on this:
LTT called out
Just watched this video. Quite and interesting watch to see GN call out LTT like this (needed to be done to be fair) Appologies if in the wrong place felt as this was a tech channel it was more appropriate for this forum!forums.overclockers.co.uk
edit: LTT has responded....

I don't think he's gone but as he's got a lot of personal stuff to work through he's not on camera much anymore.
