The best LTT video i have seen in a while; It has everything

  • New and emerging experimental tech
  • Showing off progress in opensource standards
  • Nice Eli5 on what this is, why is it important, who are the stakeholders and what this means for the future
  • Linux
  • classic ltt humor and jank(they got euro truck simulator working on RISC-V running linux FFS)
  • all nicely polished and presented.

Unfortunately by the time it took to get this video out the algorithm had already penalized them for missing their regular upload schedule as evidenced by such a low view count;

its a shame i really like their content(especially the newer videos which have a good coat of polish)

but it seems like they will either have to go back to their rapid upload schedule or come up with a new format that is commercially profitable and critically satisfactory.

      Their recent videos have lower view counts, their no of views during first 5 hours of release are also way lower, the algorithm that promotes the videos jutters out if you suddenly do something out of the norm, this video was clearly delayed for polish hence the algorithm didn’t promote this video as much

        Do you think the algorithm accounts for audiences being put off by all that’s come to light?

            IMHO it is likely that the bulk of the audience was made of people much more into the entertainment side than the tech one. I haven’t checked the recent content; but if it is what “more informed and better produced” videos sound like, it is very possible said bulk of the audience moved on to more entertaining (but less informative, and less accurate) sources.
