From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

CONCLUSION: I will stop watching them since all of these alligations and "false?" hardware testing makes me not wanna support them. Even if most of them aren't true, i don't want to risk it

ive heard some mixed things about ltt so i want to know if theyre actually bad or not

and im not watching them for linux help, i just like the content, but i also dont want to support a bad person

My impression - not necessarily based on fact:

he used to do good, useful, interesting videos back in the day...

then he found he was getting a good income from yoochoob...

then he started chasing the click bait

If he's doing anything useful now, I'd expect it's because he's lost a lot of viewers (income) ... I don't watch his new stuff, the thumbnails still look clickbaity to me, but maybe he's going back to his original content...?

To answer your implied question, I don't subscribe to anyone. I just search around for whoever's talking about the thing I'm now interested in (usually Lemmy's the source of the new thing)... I check in with Tom Lawrence (Lawrence Systems) often, but that's about it.

he is kinda screamy like mrbreast sometimes and the titles can be misleading

Yeah, I'm not a subscriber - I don't have a YT account - but if I did, I'd be down voting and writing comments like "so... where's the content from your click bait thumbnail?" 😉

Edit: I'd also add something like "my subscription? You'll never guess what I did next..." 😉

Well, he needs that comment so bad as it counts as “engagement” to boost his videos.
