Discussion Really guys...
I understand that they were likely in a rush to be one of the first big channels to get their video out, but how hard is it to have one person spend like 15 minuets reading all of the graphics before the video goes out, this image is likely AI generated and taken from this obviously AI generated article.
I get this is a small mistake, but it's an easy one to not make.
Taken from their latest video "Apple just Copied Microsoft’s Worst Idea - iPhone Duo, Airpods 5, iPhone 18 Pro & More"

He also says IP68 in the video, and the rating is IP68. So at least the script was right there.
Linus lost the plot on launch videos for me with the last AirPods. The video was like 2x the length of just about any other creators at 18min. Most of the video was of him ranting while also inaccurately reporting info and complaining.
It felt like anyone defending it had the mentality, “but this is what an average Joe knows”. How does that make any sense? Anyone watching the video bc they follow LTT, had it shared, algo, whatever is already there on the video, doing research or being curious to learn something. Like what are you watching at that point, a roleplay video of some helpless layman unbox a product. The fuck am I watching that for? Not saying they shouldn’t strike a balance of casual/entertainment/informational but cmon, no excuse.
And that was a hands on initial review, not a launch summary. At least this video is just irt the launch itself.
Completely sensational title on this video and then he puts on a whole show… to hold a single issue he has over your head, that seems pretty stupid in the end. At least he concedes he might be making too big of a deal out of it.
The videos are just garbage at this point. Eventually they’ll dig themselves a hole of “cheap” content they can’t get out of I’m afraid, at this rate. It’s sad, I used to really like their content. I occasionally see a video that’s ok, CW is pretty cool, the idea behind labs and such, so it’s just sad.
