I can only speak for myself, but the reason people watched those videos was that they just felt way more human. A few tech nerd friends making videos about tech stuff. The growing pains and the cringe was just part of the experience. It was endearing. Also, it encouraged me to research/investigate/think more about certain topic/products/brands. Also, surprised Pikachu face at nerds getting angry about nerd stuff 🤣 that has never happened in history ever.

Sure the channel is more pop than hard details but it appeals to me just fine. The early days made me feel like a friend who was being shared a cool tech toy that you just got. Linus and the team's passion is what drives this channel and LMG knows that. It's why Brandon's and Anthony's videos are so beloved in the comments. Not to mention the other great host's. Back in the day that passion was still there. Video production quality be damned. If Alex wants to show me (the audience) his crazy idea with using some unconventional material, recorded on his laptop camera I will probably watch it!

Either they show real passion or they are good at faking it. No, I know they're passionate, but you cannot be genuinely exited in every video if you make videos all the time. Some acting is required. But their passion also shows from how much effort they put into most if not every video, in research et cetera.

Luke has really got more comfortable, and much better in front of the camera. It is really impressive seeing how far you guys have improved in terms of presentation and production value.

And from the looks of it, Luke has lost quite a bit of weight!

I really loved tech showdown. Maybe if you could bring it back where you guys host other creators exclusively it could help your production schedule and be a potential source of collaboration. I know its a long shot, but I enjoyed even the really awful builds. Videos like TS and scrapyard wars just made me really excited about PC building and highlights the creativity and fun in building custom PC's.

2:56 The cut-off on Luke's laugh man, so good.

I actually really loved Scrapyard wars, it was actually a really enjoyable series and I would always wait for every single video of it to come out in anticipation for it.

Agreed. Great series

I really enjoyed the solid gold controller series of videos- the intersection of tech with metallurgy and jewelry process was really neat to see.

Love to see an OG trio like this

I love that you guys can go back and make fun of yourselves. I haven’t been a fan of the page that long but I can tell you love what you do!

The fact that the three of you have been making these videos together for so long, and still get along as well as you do, is actually quite awesome and special. I've been watchin this whole decade... a f'n decade! haha 🍻 Here's to another 10 years!

You know, the funny thing is it is a lot of the videos that they are roasting where they were just doing random stupid stuff was what kind of hooked me...because it reminded me of all the stupid crap me and my friends would do, plus tech news. Just good fun-I am actually sometimes a bit saddened at how professional they have gotten. Isn't that lame? I'm fussing because they have gotten better at their jobs!

Kudos to you guys for putting yourselves out there like that! Also Ed improved massively in the last videos he hosted

I'd love to watch more on these. Less for the cringe and more for hearing their thoughts and recanting experiences

The reason I was so mad about the Anti-RGB PC video back in the day wasn't the spray-painted mobo; I was convinced you were going to coat it with something like Vantablack.

The premade sponsor spots are probably my least favourite part of LTT these days. I liked when the sponsor spot was part of the shoot and you could tell they were reading it off the prompter there and then. The cut away to pre-recorded just feels off most of the time. It used to actually be a segue into them delivering the spot instead of just saying the line and the tone never remotely matching between the cuts. I guess it makes things easier from a production point of view, but as a watcher, it just feels disconnected every single time.

@@KHudso To be clear, I have no issue with the sponsor spots themselves. I get why they exist, and good on LMG for trying to make them at least fun and interesting. Sometimes it's even something I might be interested in, if it's not a US & Canada only thing. My issue is only with the current method of delivery. The smarmy line with the cut to pre-recorded spots that never mesh with the delivery of the video to that point. It's jarring and feels so much more disingenuous then the former method of doing it as part of the video. I don't begrudge a company trying to make sure the money keeps rolling in. A company that doesn't ain't going to last long. It's all about the chintzy feeling nature of the delivery these days.

Agreed - the only thing I feel like was never addressed was the Oura Ring 'review' on short circuit. Otherwise, there quite transparent so I continue to watch almost everything + merch. Oura: They left it with saying 'we pronounced it wrong and they didn't like that'.. 1. He's said it tons on WAN etc with no pushback, if it was that important they would have said so in their contract. 2. All the comments were very negative because of the terrible subscription+ device costs and therefore bad optics for Oura, which leads me to believe.. 3. it was down voted SO HARD that it wasn't going to be good for metrics anyways so LTT wasn't against a scapegoat to pull it.

I'm sure Yvonne never doubted you'd succeed in life while you charged through those boxes.

I love when long time you tubers do this. Donut media did the same thing a while back. So cool to see how everyone has improved

As soon as I started to see clips of Linus drop stuff, I knew it was going to be a great video! :)

Brandon is one of my favorites at LTT. Always glad to see him on this side of the camera.

Even the worst mistakes can make a good video.... sometimes not. Always awesome to see the ups and down 💜

I can't believe tech-showdown didn't do well, I loved those videos! The fact that they were terrible at arts and crafts just added to the charm!

That noir one was absolute gold, every critisms you guys said you got for it missed the point i think it was hilarious

The detective video is peak comedy, I have *no idea* what the issue is! This is definitely an amazing jaunt down memory lane, even for relatively newer viewers like me!

I remember a couple of those videos. Especially the really old ones made me eventually get into all this PC stuff. They were great. They still are great. All the way from NCIX to where you guys (we) are now... What a absolutely wild ride!

I love when a creator is actually willing to admit they have messed up once or twice.

Linus read mean comments will always be my favorite. The way he take it personnal, his soul shattering before our very eyes while his staff bust into hilarity, absolutely price less ;)

Congrats on 10 years. Always great to see Brandon and Luke on camera.

Congrats on 10 years. I used to watch you guys before I had a KZread account. Been like 8 years now. I am glad you are still bassicly yourself even after all these years.

About a month ago I started watching old LTT vids, I've only been into pc building for nearly two years and wanted to see what was going on back in the day. ow KZread keeps recommending baby Linus all the time! Its funny to see him go crazy about something then that would barely get a 'meh' now.

It's really nice to watch these kinds of reactions. I've only watched Linus for 2 years so seeing these videos is like a trip to the channel's history, the ups and downs. Great video!
