Steve and GN is about the only one of these types of channels I can tolerate these days they're overall great, but as been said before, they really could do well to start paring the amount of data back in their video reviews. I'm sure it's a monetary concern to some extent as I understand YT's compensation policy wrt ads + video length, but drat their reviews where they're comparing against multiple products at once can be a real slog. Watching their Ryzen 3100 review just drives that home, the screen showing charts with 30+ separate lines and Steve speed-reading listlessly through the written review for each separate benchmark, drat. I mean just cut out 2/3rds of those CPU's in the graphs at least to make the comparisons legible, really don't think we need to know how the 3100 fares against a 16 core/32 thread Ryzen, but maybe that's just me.

Of course insufferable online nerds are insufferable online nerds, but aside from that, one of the reasons the Verge video got a lot of traction because it wasn't just a 'bad build', it was so bizarrely wrong from just the perspective of getting the 'human being who has never put an Ikea desk before' to host it. There's not knowing DIY PC's well enough, then there's just apparently not having experience with you know, everyday objects "So, you need to put this equipment together that uses screws. What you need is a swiss army knife, which if you're lucky, has a screwdriver"

Rinkles posted:Did LTT apologize at least? Not sure how you even 'apologize' in this situation, it's not a critique of a single or a couple of screw-ups, it's a systematic takedown of his entire project. Steve was generous in framing this as an overstressed workforce, and they are - but it's not like they slipped on a banana peel and fell into this situation. The 'fix' for this is for Linus to be a different person, so good luck with that I guess?

God this is pathetic. The quotes are...there. In the video. They're making public statements. They're not out of context, it's literally asking them what problems they have in their working environment. Reaching out to them for comment beforehand would just be a way to get the more PR version of those statements.

Lister posted:They were public statements made in one context (being asked "What would you change about LMG?") then being taken and put into a new context ("We know these issues at LTT in terms of the rushing... pushing employees and staff to hit deadlines despite concerns with the data or the collection of the data. We know these come from top down as shown in a recent LTT interview that it conducted with its own employees where many of them stated concerns with content quality pertaining to restrictive time constraints.") to support GN's thesis. This is the definition of taking a quote out of context. jfc, those are literally the same thing. One context is asking them what they want changed, the other is showing the problems that needs to be changed, by using the employees own recorded words identifying the problems...that need to be changed. Your brain is soup. If you have a series of interviews and one of the most common critiques of the current work environment being given by employees is that time pressure is leading to struggles with producing quality content, and the thesis of your video is that content mine pressure is negatively impacting the quality of a channels work, that is not 'out of context' - that is fitting a square peg into a square hole perfectly.

Lister posted:Ok, I'll break it down for you. One context is asking them what they want changed. The other context is saying that the stated concerns are proof that employees are being pushed to release content despite concerns about data or data collection. But it's not proof. It's an assumption GN is making based on a question it didn't ask and with answers it doesn't fully have. The most common critique was not "time pressure is leading to struggles with producing quality content." It was just generally saying they wish they had more time to work on videos or to release fewer videos. One person mentioned increasing quality. you have a head injury

Josh Lyman posted:Why does anyone want more time to do anything? Obviously it's quality, this isn't rocket science. The thing is, believing it's possible they're actually not talking about wanting the time to be more thorough is actually far more damning than the way Steve is framing it. He's presenting their comments as further evidence that time pressure is the main factor in leading to, as he says, 'nearly every video' containing significant errors. And again - further evidence. It's one thing to truly take the comments 'out of context' is if your video is wholly making the thesis that there is rot at LMG due to overwork and using those video snippets as the only evidence, but he doesn't - there's 30 minutes if rapid-fire fuckups of their own content. Framing those comments as just additional backing of your argument that this incompetence is due to pressure is actually the most generous framing possible when the evidence is this overwhelming, it's saying this is due to work practices that can be changed, rather (than what I largely believe) due to the general attitude of the founder just not giving a poo poo. So, you believe they just want more time to goof around more in videos, fine. Then you're effectively saying they're incapable of recognizing substandard content. Ok?

Dr. Video Games 0031 posted:I don't agree with all of Lister's points, but this is fair in my opinion: When you have 6 people , including Linus himself, bring up the same critique of 'too many videos!', and one person actually saying "Very rarely am I particularly proud of a video I've worked on", and another saying a benefit of producing less content is that it would be nice to 'look in the rearview mirror and see how things went', arguing that they each needed to be personally interviewed by Steve himself to discern their actual meaning is just ridiculous. As others have said, that is already the PR version. The allegation is not that employees are necessarily being treated poorly, or unhappy with their job as a whole. They might love it, but the only implication Steve - and again, a generous framing imo - is making is that they are making mistakes (cough) by rushing to produce content after content. Showing a series of interview snippets where some of the most prominent on-air personalities of LMG say one of their critiques is that they produce too much content is the most obvious thing you could possibly add to the video to support your argument. Again, it's not drawing the conclusion that LMG is too focused on volume based solely on their interview segments, the substantial evidence that they're too focused on content is based on, you know, all the loving content with all the mistakes. This is just saying "Look, even their employees are concerned about the pace". You don't need to even imply they're phrasing it as a serious complaint for it to be relevant.

Maybe they'll talk to a lot of people for a follow up video, but I worry that unless it's put in a video by a major channel that it's going to be unseen by the larger youtube audience. Upon reading Madison's tweets I was thinking of maybe making a joke post like "I hope GN interviews her so it can have some credibility" but decided that would be in poor taste.

spunkshui posted:Linus deserves all of this because it all started when a LTT video said, “unlike gamers nexus, we retest every time.” Not really, Steve has been critical of them before and this is something that's clearly been brewing for a while - that comment was also ignored by Steve when he heard it, the precusor to this seemed to be when Linus went on his wan show and started whining about how unfairly he was treated due to the backpack situation, yet again. Like it didn't help, but Steve didn't hear that comment and go scorched earth - that's the argument LTT defenders are making that this was all out of feeling slighted, when it's more than they've been sucking rear end for a long time.

Anime Schoolgirl posted:i thought craft computing telling people to put their steam library in their NAS through iscsi was one of the funniest jokes ever, but then i realized he wasn't joking Also had this utterly bizarre 4060 review - basically arguing everyone is doing mid/lowrange card reviews wrong by arguing against a strawman that the 4060 series is getting poo poo on because reviewers are unfairly comparing it to high end products on expensive CPU's. Like there's some merit that for midrange card reviews, game benchmarks should also show high settings and not just Ultra (which I've seen many do regardless), but that's not why the 4060 series was trashed - it was trashed because it could be beaten by the previous generation of cards, and there wasn't any vram upgrade despite it being clearly limited years ago, let alone now.

Shipon posted:watching it now and about 30 minutes in, it is definitely /not/ taking both sides, ian has pretty definitively dogged linus for his poor handling of this and clearly said that the people asking "both sides" about the madison allegations are loving idiots and explained why people might appear to "be dogpiling" when harrassment has happened to them that might make them fear speaking out before From his comments on that specifically on Twitter I'm not that surprised he's taking that position, that was the one area he was at least more concrete on. What I was suspecting though is that before the Madison revelations occurred, the video would basically consist of "benchmarking is hard, yo" and overall a lukewarm at best, if not outright defense of LTT - and skipping past the halfway point to where he gets into the review process, it's actually worse than that. He actually says critiquing reviewers like LTT is punching down, and if there are inaccuracies, then it will be reflected in the viewer count. The free market of ideas folks! Basically, it's Linus's "we are a media family" defense - youtubers can't critique other youtubers. Granted I have been jumping around the last half as I don't know if I can stomach 20+ minutes of this guy just speaking in front of a brick wall for this (let alone 90), but man - even trying to get more context on those snippets just makes it worse. I mean if you're actually addressing the critique of a video, then reference it at least - show some clips, then talk about them. I suspect he's not doing that though as it would make this hand-waving seem that much more explicit, so just speaking in generalities instead of showing the actual critique that he's supposedly responding to helps mask that a bit.
