You’re already unpopular, Linus. You swept a workplace sexual harrassment scandal under the rug, were called out for your lack of proper testing, and your data is constantly incorrect.

The improper testing has plenty of sources. They were trying to speed rush through testing and missed details.
The sexual harassment doesn’t have hard sources. It got tossed in there as an afterthought as everyone dog piled him for being popular and the botched testing. No idea if it was really true or not.
By “sweeping it under the rug” what you meant was “ARE NOT PUBLICLY COMMENTING ON POTENTIAL FUTURE LEGAL ACTIONS AGAINST THE COMPANY.”
It really seems like a lot of the anti-Linus crowd gives way more of a shit about it than the actual victim, which is about par for the course with anything involving LTT.
Wish people had the kind of energy for shitting on actual horrid companies that they do for this one.
Wish Linus had the energy to be a less shitty person and NOT work his team at an unmanageable rate, and had a clear idea of what his company even is.
Btw, nice condoning sexual harassment by completely minimizing it.

Are you Linus or do you work there…
Bootlicker?
Aint that guy a shill?
That was my first thought. Then the video starts with, we got these phones last summer and they are prototypes…well, I don’t think I have to hear anything else. Maybe his integrity issues stalled the release of the video. If that’s the case, just throw away the review and wait until you can do a production unit.
Something like half the comments on that video are about his facial hair.
He actually said that it was a late prototype, then went on to list the things fairphone said had changed between his unit and the final product.
Then added that nothing he experienced should’ve been impacted by the slight changes they made.
Linus is many things, but I never saw him “shill” for anything that wasn’t clearly labeled as such.
Shill for what?
Got a followup?
No?
Didn’t think so.

Were you expecting a reply while you typed the comment?
Clearly fucking not.
You seem happy.
You seem like you have nothing to contribute but still feel the need to open your mouth.
You work in HR, don’t you?
Hey everyone check out Mr last word over here.
Hey everyone, check out the guy that thinks it’s clever to go “LOL U GONNA RESPOND TO THIS.”
Next post is probably “LOL I LIVE RENT FREE IN UR HED”
So I downgrade my HR assertion and now assume you’re an Astros fan.
I like it when youtubers use thumbnails that scream “this is crap, don’t watch”. So many use them, too. Thanks.
Making dumb faces for your thumbnail is one of many clickbait tactics.
Linus has repeatedly pointed out that, unfortunately, it works. They make way more money from videos that follow this shitty trend.
They can’t even get their testing data right. There’s no way in hell they could predict the loss of users from clickbait because they’d be already gone at that stage. So you would only measure with users that are susceptible to clickbait, which of course means they’d click more on clickbaited videos. It’s like EA suddenly doing a decent thing. It probably won’t pay off for them in comparison, because all their good faith costumers have been shunning the company for probably decades at this point. And what’s left are the customers who buy their shit anyway, regardless of how much they get milked or bullied through various marketing strategies.
It’s also a good filter for useful videos vs ‘content’.
Unfortunately nowadays pretty much almost everything has some form of clickbait title or thumbnail. Even science or news videos (and I’m not talking about tabloids) … One of the many reasons why I barely use YT anymore.

I agree with the review here, I’ve always found the mission of fairphone exciting and noble, but the specs…always left me with a meh feeling.
“It’s a fairphone, not a great phone”
“They overshot the mark and made too many compromises” - 100% agree with this line
I’ll still hop to Fairphone after my current phone dies. I would miss a great camera the most but a decent camera is still a decent camera. At least I’m the boss over my own phone, I’m so fed up with not being able to swap out parts myself like with a normal desktop.

Meh, most phones (except iPhones) aren’t really that difficult to swap a battery out or something. The easy removable battery is nice, but you can change the battery on any Android phone with a bit of patience, time and heat.
Beyond the battery, the fairphone looks…pretty much the same inside from any other Android I’ve taken apart, the battery adhesive is the most difficult part once you’re inside the phone, everything else is easy. So it’s really not worth the performance compromises IMO
You aren’t paying extra solely for the modular design. I don’t know why tech enthusiasts always hand wave the social and environmental benefits of Fairphone away when they are the key focus of the company.
Please don’t promote this prick anymore!
I mean I agree on some Points and I too agree its in many ways a overpriced undercooked phone but the Note 5 comparison is absolute nonsense.
I’m the first to recommend second hand flagships but the Note 5 is maybe a fun secondary phone but definitly not daily drivable and recommendig it to people who don’t know what they will get themselfes into is criminal.
Like just the fact that he implies that the Note 5 SoC is comparable in Performance to the Fairphone is braindead. You are comparing a Cortex A57 to a A78. There are 6 generations between them.
Also what are these doofusus in “The Lab” doing. Would it really have been that hard to pull up some common CPU Bound tasks like rendering websites, compressing files, … . App opening Tests are often limited by Network speeds and IO Speed and tell you very little about the in App Performance.
They just throw out any random shit and people click and watch it. LTTs quality dropped years ago when they got too big. It’s about views now, not respectable content.
100%. I don’t get how people still enjoy this slop. He was alright 6 or 7 years ago but now it feels like mass media thrown together crap. Same as well for MKBHD honestly. Dude is reviewing nothing and always just sharing first experiences.
Yes MKBHD is the same. Just loads of shill content to keep brands happy.
Billionares paying millionarea to promot their wares to their wage slaves.
He’s popular?
156,031 views 1 hour ago
Yes.
He doesn’t have 15 million subscribers that all hate him.I can click a link even if I dislike the linked.
But yes, I know that many still like his content.
He’s certainly popular but not necessarily liked.
Fair
Methinks y’all doth protest too much.
