    I enjoy their content involving jank or overengineered solutions, their merch feels good (I would buy it even if it was just another brand like nike or adidas) and they arent as bone dry as GN, MKBHD is too mobile focused, Dave2D too regular consumer tech (like Laptops) focused, LTT has a bit of all.
    The controversy he creates himself is surely valid but I enjoy the content more and the integrity he wants to stand for.

    If you disagree or want to discuss my opinion, feel free to ask why I enjoy it.

      Mkbhd is barely a prosumer. Dude knows his way around photography and can shoot videos well but regarding the tech itself he has little to no knowledge compared to an average “techie”.

      Integrity he wants to stand for means absolutely bunk if, when given the opportunity to actually behave with integrity, he instead doubles down and lashes out like a child, blaming everyone and everything but himself.

      Integrity starts with accountability, and while he has always talked a big game about both, He’s sadly found wanting for either.

        Wanting to improve is the first step. He has written a statement and we will se how he behaves in the next WAN show.

          And even in that written statement he doubles down, and continues to insist the bad data they generated by using the wrong GPU on the Billet was valid, and that its a bad product as a result.

          So there is no wanting to improve.

          Theres just lots of empty wind meaning nothing, from a guy thats in all likelihood probably required someone standing next to him to restrain him from typing out what he REALLY wants to say.
