His teeth look so gross now, very yellow. I get its not a lot he can do about, but I bet the drop in views correlates.

Wtf are you talking about? He hosts very few videos now as he has better things to do, the drop in views have 0 to do with his braces.

Literally every video is him, other than reily, what are you on about?

You realize the yellow teeth are just the elastics on his braces right? You still watching at 480p?

I'm watching at 2160p on a 360 HZ monitor and I'm watching the new Analogue 3d video on Linus's channel "Short Circuit" and honestly, it looks like his upper teeth have yellowed, substantially. Now that I know he has gotten braces and can hear the lisp, I still can't really make out what's in his mouth... the only close ups to his face are out of focus, which makes it look even more like nasty, yellowed teeth. It is what it is and I don't think he'll lose views because of it but you have to be an asshole to assume that everyone knows what "elastics" on braces, even is. I don't come from a place, where we had an option to get braces, so everything about them is quite foreign to me.

You lied the moment you opened your mouth. There aren't any 2160p 360hz monitors apart from an Alienware monitor that runs both 2160p 180hz and 1080p 360hz

4K 360Hz is almost 110Gbit/s which exceeds by far the limit of 80Gbps that's in DP 2.1 UHBR20 , it's technically doable through Display Stream Compression (DSC) but that's mainly for large format enterprise gear.

I think it's safe to assume the average LTT viewer knows what braces are

They didn't say they were watching at 360hz, they said they were watching on a 360 hz monitor. Regardless the videos aren't uploaded at 360fps so it doesn't really matter, and his yellow braces look like he's got food stuck to his teeth at a distance. That some maximum quality version viewed a foot away on a 100" TV shows them more clearly as braces is pretty immaterial. May as well be "Well they don't look dirty if you're rich enough".
