It’s a bad look, and I won’t make excuses for them, but none of this really surprises me, either. I still like their content, and I already understood most of this to be the case by inference without it being spelled out like this. Their coverage has been good enough, and when I need someone to genuinely go hard on the nuts and bolts of a thing, Gamers Nexus is the better choice.

The laptop sponsorship thing is a perfect example. He straight up says he invested in them, which instantly makes the video revealing their latest model a clear extension of that sponsorship. Did I still keep watching? Hell yeah, because the laptop modularity looks awesome. Should I trust everything in the vid is presented objectively without bias?

…have you been on the Internet before?

Level1Techs, GamersNexus and Paul’s Hardware.
That’s the true trifecta of tech knowledge, in my opinion.

LTT are too busy writing jokes and hiring more merch staff these days.

PS: feel free to suggest other good tech channels

Wow that billet labs thing is fucking not good man
