Watched the whole thing. Many of the criticisms are valid and rightfully called out. However some of them really feel like it’s stretching and reaching beyond that. Of course they’re competitors now so it could be hard to truly remain objective.
Curious what other people thought of it.
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.
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.
