For me ltt is entertainment. I personally think they should pivot away from hardware reviews and do just do crazy projects, show cases of really ground breaking tech, and engineering type stuff like they have been. Hardware reviews kind of boring not the reason I watch ltt. It’s really is like the topgrear of pc hardware imo.
I mean they invested a ton into lab equipment, it’d be silly not to use it. What needs to happen is a clear split between entertainment and data-focussed content with data getting the time they need to get things right and entertainment the budget they need to make things crazy. Noone particularly cares about data accuracy when you’re strapping a 1m diametre industrial fan to a PC case or crawl through bramble bushes to run a network cable but once you get bar charts involved you better dot your 'i’s. Content that is both, e.g. an entertaining product review, needs the budget of both.
For reviews sure, for entertainment? Sets me to sleep tbh

2x speed is your friend
So you can be bored at twice the speed!
I, too, buy my PC components based on how entertaining the content about them is.
So we’ve come full circle to the initial post in this thread. For reviews it’s great info, but for entertainment…bleh.
Advertising, even if it’s simple brand recognition, does work
It’s not advertising if you’re asking for it.
It’s corporate performance arts.
Dan Besser at Techlinked seriously needs his own channel. For some reason he drones on but it’s…interesting??
