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.
It’s also a good filter for useful videos vs ‘content’.
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.

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.
He’s popular?
156,031 views 1 hour ago
Yes.
He doesn’t have 15 million subscribers that all hate him.
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.
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.
Please don’t promote this prick anymore!
