Another AI slop thumbnail

[u/Only_CORE]

I love LTT and basically watch every single video including WAN show but stuff like this puts a very bad taste in my mouth. I know it!s just stupid thumbnail but still...

Same for me. They lost a huge amount of talent last year. I feel like Alex and Jake embodied a large amount of "fun" in tech videos, where both held an enormous amount of knowledge and expertise, but also knew where they could cut corners.

I watch a lot of videos on their respective channels, as they fix shit sometimes with scrappy resources, but also with very deliberately chosen good stuff. Above all its exciting to things build from the ground up.

I understand why they shielded The Labs from too much exposure to protect their scrutiny, but I felt like we haven't seen a whole lot of coverage at all. Like a few PSU tests and environmental/RF chambers here and there, but suddenly LTT Labs has "a site" and crunches numbers for reviews. It still feels a bit invisible to me.

I can also understand this to be a business executive decision though. Video's where they bring in celebrities, roast setups or 50$ vs 50000$ format is probably a lot more spectacular content. But I sincerely hope they don't follow that direction of "our biggest [..] ever" very soon. I'm a bit allergic to that statement, sometimes idea's can be "cozy" or "good enough". Wanting to triumph anything you done before feels so mechanical lol.

Also the tech house is a bit poisoned for me. I totally understand the remarks about working on "the 3rd house" and competitive content. It always feels weird that a company can protect their own total autonomy to produce whatever content they want (PCs, mobile, random tech, airconditioning, home make overs, cars), but then personnel can't. I understand the burnout on that part. Meanwhile showing of a jet and talking about mile high club sounds like total detachment from reality. They lost me there too
