There are a few of them and I’d have to go through to really narrow it down mostly just “tone” of it if that makes sense.
One that did stand out to me though was how Linus had very different results compared to other reviewers on I think it was an amd result however Steve said he shouldn’t even consider other reviewers results and should have published his without mentioning that. I disagree. I think it’s fair to point out that you got wildly different results.
Another thing was how he felt that putting annotations on the video when they vocally say something isn’t a good enough correction since people could be listening to only audio. I don’t really think that’s the case when the comparisons they’d be showing are going to be graphs. I think people actually viewing would be looking visually for it and would definitely see those.
Except the whole point of the annotation complaint was the fact that it further proved that they're pushing content out too fast. Instead of doing another take or at least some editing, they just add an asterisk and call it good enough. It's the big picture that's the problem, not just this one thing or any one thing individually
Right and I agree with the criticisms as a whole absolutely. Just some of them felt like a bit of a stretch. You might have a different feeling on them though and that’s totally fine.
For the last point, I think they were mentioning those to support the claim that LTT is going too fast. Too many minor errors are worth fixing properly but they don't give themselves the time to allow that.
I think the annotations are just backing up the claim that the videos are being too rushed- which is definitely true. It’s a video of a guy in front of a green screen, not some off-site video. They could’ve easily reshot the entire thing in an afternoon if they weren’t so rushed. The fact that it wasn’t reshot probably means that the video editors are likely being too tightly managed as well.
Wildly? The difference was like a few percent. See 21:30 of the video.
