Same, I had heard of the channel on reddit but was never interested until now.

Honestly it has been a pretty good techy channel for a while, but like many things, apparently it's become a victim of its own success. Ive gone down the rabbit hole on LTT YouTube episodes a few times in the past - really enjoyed what I decided to watch, this news is really unfortunate to what was (in my opinion) a great channel

Gamer nexus was always great too (the few episodes I watched), that's why this is such news. I'm going to sit down and really listen to the video GN did

I used to really enjoy watching LTT unboxing videos even if it was for a product that I wasn't interested in. Watching Linus struggle to open product boxes while he talked about their features was just a part of my nightly routine. The videos back then were much more down to earth. There was no B roll, and hardly anything got cut out. The closest thing we have to that now is the Short Circuit channel, but even that is overproduced compared to old school LTT videos.
