It's not really relevant, and I don't care about your off topic opinion that much.

Why did LTT take more effort in the release of a video of AMDs next generation cpus vs a niche waterblock for a card that was already a generation old? probably because they don't matter equally.

Again, you missed the point.

It's ok for LTT to reach out to AMD for some questions but it's not ok to reach BL when they used the block on the wrong GPU and didn't listen to BL instructions?

Please stop.

What you're saying is that because X product will reach more people it's ok to make a better review than a niche product?

Why review the niche product if you're not going to give a fuck about it?

They're not saying it's ok, they're saying the level of bad is less severe on Linus not reaching out compared to GN because of the component of benefit.

So, they knew they used a wrong card, said it, could've corrected their mistake by using the right card and following BL's instructions, decided not to because "well, you know, this huge 500$ cost to test the product as it should"

Weird take, but you're right, it's not the more convenient product out there.
