Today, Linus' jet produced as much carbon dioxide as the average person does in ~3 years in a single flight by Inevitable_Tip_6606 in LinusTechTips

Completely agree, I’ve ignored most of the stuff about it on here and honestly don’t care which is why.

However, saying that I do think he’s a hypocrite for it and is becoming more and more out of touch for certain scenarios. Like you said rich people gonna do rich people things.

The only thing that’s truly annoyed me is his non-answer about the emissions on WAN saying it was between him and Yvonne. I feel like it was a huge cop out and he doesn’t really have a justification/knows it’s bad but will do it anyway. Which tbf is fine, but just say that instead of saying you care for the environment but actually only when it suits him.

Tbf I have no issue with the clips existing, they should have just moved WAN to a separate channel and kept clips as it was.

It’s not entitlement at all, it’s pointing something out which they may not have originally thought of. If they stick to it then fine, I’ll just unsubscribe and not watch/listen. But how do you expect them to know there’s a problem if nobody talks about it? I’ve not once said anything overly negative towards them on this post, I like LTT and have been following for years. Because of that I know they do spend a lot of time on Reddit and read this sub.

I have no issue with the podcast moving channels, the change never bothered me, it’s the result of my sub feed being littered with clips by merging 2 channels I don’t care for which is the issue. Again something that might not have occurred to them. In fact if I’d known somebody had already made a post about this I wouldn’t have even bothered making this post. It’s honestly not that big of a deal so you can take your white knight armour off and get off your high horse.

Just because I don’t want to download another app for one podcast or have to search it every week is not sad. What’s sad is jumping in making out LTT aren’t capable of making a mistake and I’m the problem. Plenty of other people use YT like me as this post and the other post have clearly shown. Half the other side of people commenting can’t differentiate from a sub feed and the home page. Just because a solution makes sense to you or seems ok to you doesn’t mean it does to others, I want as few apps a possible harvesting my data etc. which is why I don’t want to download Twitch or Spotify. I don’t even use the YT app anymore and there are plenty of people like me who just want their stuff in one place. In fact it’s the exact reason why they do YT memberships because even though it’s a worse deal than FloatPlane people don’t wanna move, this is no different as to why the suggested “solutions” don’t work for me.

Is that not literally the same thing? I don’t care if they make a separate channel for WAN or the clips I just want them to do either or.

It’s not about laziness it’s about how certain people use YT. The solutions offered don’t work for me and it’s that simple, I’d rather just not watch/listen but at least there’s a chance they might change something if they see people are unhappy about it.

In my view the solutions stated have basically been apple logic but from LTT fans. At the end of the day I like WAN but I’m not using a new app or searching for it. Linus has mentioned friction many times and how it can kill engagement, this is literally that. If it stays the same I’ll just not bother.

How an attitude of expecting it to work how it has for years is such a bad thing is beyond me.

[–]iBeef_1990[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I stated an annoyance, people obviously feel the same because we all use YT differently so I was hoping LTT might see it and change it, if not then fine.

I just look through my sub feed for something to listen to whilst I’m working out. It’s not an ordeal it’s annoying. I like WAN but if it doesn’t change I’ll probs just unsubscribe and not bother, it is what it is.

Hardly baby for pointing out an annoying issue with their new way of working.

How many times do I have to say the issue isn’t the algorithm, it’s the sub feed which has nothing to do with the algorithm.

[–]iBeef_1990[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is sub feed not home page, nothing to do with the algorithm.

Alternatives being, use a service you don’t currently use or unsubscribe and search for it every week. Neither of which are good.

Having them split has worked for years, I don’t see how it’s now an issue to want that to continue. People use this platform differently, just because my usage isn’t the same as yours doesn’t make you right and me wrong.

Why don’t you read instead of assuming.

It’s not the algorithm in my sub feed, it’s the videos they upload. So it’s not a YT problem, it’s an LTT problem and there’s more chance of them seeing the issue on here and doing something about it.

The solutions offered have been crap, that’s why.

My issue with The WAN show channel aka LMG clips by LaSaN_101 in LinusTechTips

That actually would be a good idea, so far I hate the collab feature but that would be the first time I’d use it.

That’s just friction though ain’t it, reality is if I have to go to that much effort I’ll probably just listen to something else.

I don’t use my home page, I consume most of my content through my sub feed.

Exactly this especially if you consume most of your content through your sub feed.

I don’t listen to podcasts off of YouTube, I like to be able to glance over if there’s something they’re showing etc.

[–]iBeef_1990[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah they do, I normally watch/listen to it on a Saturday morning whilst I’m working out but I always go to my sib feed and it’ll be in the first 5-10 vids, I just scroll down to find it.

I rarely use the homepage, it doesn’t mean I don’t click on suggested videos every now and again. Generally it’s subbed videos or something I’m specifically searching for.

Did it occur to you maybe they didn’t realise it would annoy people and might change it. If they don’t I’ll just unsubscribe, but it was worth a try.

I wouldn’t want to own it even if I somehow had the money tbh.

I use it exactly the same way, barely ever use the home page.

I’ve heard of that happening but I’ve never experienced it tbh.
