I can’t believe some of the points Linus made against the Fairphone, especially given he’s onboard with the same compromises for the Framework laptop. 🤭

    That’s honestly my biggest problem with him as well. He makes such a big thing about having 900 videos a week or whatever that it just makes you think that he can’t possibly put any real effort into any of them, it’s literally not possible. Why not reduce the number videos and actually produce better quality content.

    Part of the problem is that he has to be in every video or almost every video the channel producers. If you look at something like Corridor Digital they have a number of people who are regularly on camera so individuals don’t have to do a bunch of videos one after another. So each individual video gets more focus.

    What’s the point in putting out a badly informed review, all it does is weaken your brand.

      I disagree with this argument, him being in every video doesn’t reduce the quality because the videos aren’t written by him, and the products aren’t primarily tested by him. He’s mostly serving the role of an actor/host. I guess it maybe reduces the possibility of re-recording clips, but I don’t think that’s the largest factor in a video’s quality.
