I never really understood the channel, it’s just an infomercial. I remember Linus even blatantly admitting he wouldn’t personally buy most of the shit he pitches
It is a review channel, that is kind of the point is to tell you about a product. Just to do it in an entertaining way.
Here is a product it is good for this and this reason, it is bad for this and this reason
Here is a comparison of the product vs alternative products.
I would buy because X reason or I wouldn’t buy it for X reason…
It makes sense he wouldn’t personally use or want all of the products he reviews as his needs are different then others needs. But end of the day a successful product would fill someone’s needs. The idea is that someone would see and learn about it any buy it.
What I mean though is things he recommended, he later admitted guilt over on that long winded apology video (the one that is always screencapped for memes), saying that he feels bad pushing products he doesn’t even believe in
So the real question is did he change his ways or not?
Usually if your truly feeling guilty about something you would stop doing that thing.
If this is a true oh crap I want to be a better person type situation I would argue it sounds like a reason to start watching LTT videos. As future videos would not have products he doesn’t believe in. (assuming you put any value on what Linus believes in and assuming he is putting forth best effort to stop/improve.).
I assume they have enough money they can pick and choose whatever products they want to review so seem like a easy goal to achieve on paper.
From what I remember of the last few videos I have personally watch and just scrolling through their last 2-3 months worth of videos, the only things they are reviewing that I would say are “bad” products seem to be created to warn people that they are bad products or straight up scams. Like the audiophile video and wish.com videos. Both in my opinion are entertaining and informative and serve as a warning to stay away from the garbage products they are using in the videos.
If you avoid the obvious sponsored product reviews, he does make some entertaining videos.
I like his janky self-made PC cooling videos for example, where they hook up a car radiator or giant ass fans that are clearly not made to cool a PC. Those don’t promote anything.
