Watching the video, I got the impression that it was LTT that bought it, but all the posts (in support or not in support) are acting like it's his personal plane. I look at the two situations a bit differently. Can anyone clarify?

Edit, sorry LMG, not LTT

Edit 2: I got my answer. I'm not here to argue, I just wanted clarification. If I could lock this topic I would, so I'm doing the next best thing and turning off notifications. Everyone enjoy arguing with yourself about a simple question and turning it into people trying to play 4d chess.

Linus bought a private plane and the whole internet is after him, saying that nobody can afford this kind of expense.

Linus is rich, idk how to break the news to the people in the internet but yeah, he started a company, he worked hard for 15 years with little to no success, working up slowly and gaining an audiance, and now he can profit from his invesment.

it's really not that of an issue, it's just people that don't work hard complaining about rich people because they don't have what they have, if you stoped blaming everything on 'the rich' and on 'capitalism', maybe you'll be more successful.

Now let's address the hypocrisy allegations. He said that it doesn't seem neccessery to him right now and that the sheer fuel consumption is bad, and he addressed Taylor Swift, and he said that he's "not super keen on it". this was 2.5 years ago, he's allowed to change his opinion, and maybe he does feel like it's neccessery now after the channel grew and he gets more recognition, and maybe he looked again on the issue of fuel consumption and changed his mind, and Taylor Swift uses her private jet for 2 minute flights and it's very different.

To sum up, he's rich, he can buy whatever he wants, leave him alone.

In the latest wan show linus and luke discussed about channel not performing great. As someone who used to regularly watch ltt content and it being my preferred tech channel, I have also noticed that my consistency has reduced.

I was thinking of compiling possible reasons(my opinions), get/add the subs opinion to discuss what could be improved.

I think these reasons add up over time and affect my preference to watch the videos which affects the algorithm and recommendations too. e.g. i will always get the new wan show within the top 3 videos on home page and often older ones after i open it, but I rarely get other ltt videos nowadays

reasons why I've disliked content in the past few years.

1. too scripted (maybe the editing?) and no janky fun or process in some videos. Also more new formats please don't keep the same flow for all videos (e.g. writers discuss/ choosing the phone upgrade)

2. too many hosts or linus in for a reaction. some videos do well with sections done by different hosts, but some videos it feels irritating. I would rather have 1 passionate host talk about the whole thing. Linus popping up in the end just for a reaction feels forced/fake.

3. skipping over steps. i remember it was a desk setup or something and they directly edit to. we took this desk/ wood, did this and now we will use this as the base or we 3d printed this and move on. In the old videos you would probably see alex or linus drilling it or showing them design a part or something.

4. some videos, hosts don't feel energetic or passionate to me. maybe it's just the delivery of the host or maybe the script?

5. members only gets recommended way too often and I'll never click it( probably affecting algo?) sometimes I've seen members only and thought wait it's been a while since I've seen a video. let me check their page ( I know I'm an anomaly here) and i run into tons of members only vids that I can't watch. it also makes me less interested in the channel. Id rather not know that this content even exists.

6. if I don't have a major interest in the topic, then a connection with the host can carry the video like the amd tech upgrades. i get to see the host as a person and not a script reader. different personalities should shine through rather than everything feeling the same/scripted.

I don't know if I'm alone on this, so wanted to discuss. feel free to add

some other thoughts -

Content will always be king ( linus torvalds Collab). more niche deep dives or new, cool or "positive" tech videos

I do not care about he's too rich controversies like gold controllers or private jet. I dislike when mr beast does it like oh look at this shiny prize, but when you see the excitement over standing on top of the wing or engine or gold sink, the excitement does translate/transfer over through to the viewer.

thumbnail game might have gone stale ( no idea, I'm probably way off)

I love when Mr. Tech Tips Gabriel Sebastian talks about interpersonal relationships whether it involves fellow humans or other animals. I love how he talks about Yvonne and his children in such a respectful way that's super cute to hear about. Also when it comes to other relationship dynamics. What he brought up recently about liking animals that don't love you unconditionally really resonated with me too. Having them as pets really does teach you patience and respect for those with emotions and boundaries. I am more of a dog person, but I love cats and Horses (and Arabs 😂). I don't have any of these two because, well for starters, Horses are prohibitively expensive and time consuming. And everyone in my family is allergic to cats and I have asthma which makes animals like cats very difficult to be around even with inhalers and other Albuterol treatments. I am aware of the ways to reduce the protein allergen but it goes deeper than just that. Anyway, thanks for reading.

Hi, I recently bought a 1TB (960GB) Kingston Sata SSD and wanted to use it to store my games on my pc. It worked perfectly for like a month but then started having hiccups like not being read by my pc, partitions disappearing. So instead of trying to re-seat the damn thing, I bought a different brand of SSD which has been working perfectly for 6 months now. I just found my old kingston ssd and wondered if it's worth it to have it fixed or should I just buy a new one
