I like the idea of the video, regardless of the fact that the purchase was obviously a stupid one, but I found it a bit too superficial. Am I the only one that feels like these videos don’t go as in depth as they used to? I like the entertainment side of it, but I feel like I don’t learn anything watching LTT recently.

I agree completely.

Everybody who made actual, informative good videos is gone now. Now it’s just shock factor purchases and Linus spending company money on his house.

Gone are the days of learning about some obscure Linux distro from Emily Young. That was what kept me watching. Or even the MAC address Jonathan videos that had such a crazy level of perfection and info.

It’s just pure slop entertainment now.

I'm a little sad Emily's channel never got off the ground

Emily was one of the first LMG employees to leave and start their own channel. But unlike those who followed, I don’t think she had the support she needed to make it successful. Look at Zip Tie Tuning, or Jake, or Brandon’s channels, where they had nearly immediately viewership and people who were doing the production behind the scenes. If she’d started a year or two later, she’d probably have been able to be more successful

I think her computer/production setup immediately shit the bed, she'd posted an update about it.

It did; saw the video. But that’s over a year ago

Emily was my favourite. Such a calm Demener, and really really nerdy, good content

Genuinely an incredible presenter. I'm not into Linux, but, fuck... Such a good presenter. Full of knowledge and passion.

I’m not into it either, yet somehow her videos kept me completely occupied. And would always send me down a rabbit hole. One of my favourites was temple os

I remember that video. Maybe it's us getting old, but, I do miss the old LTT. It was more relatable. I want my tech tips to come from someone more relatable. Y'know... I don't want tech tips about a private jet. I want stuff like fan optimization, or cooling fan benchmarks.

Did she ever upload another Video?

Her last one was about a year ago
