Linus Tech Tips

Linus Tech Tips is a Canadian Youtube channel created by Linus Sebastian in 2007. Originally an cheaper offshoot of the NCIX channel (defunct), the channel became independent under Linus Media Group, which was founded in 2013.

Why It's Amazing

 * 1) The web series provides detailed reviews about the latest tech products.
 * 2) There are a number of great series that were made by this channel, including "Scrapyard Wars", "7 Gamers 1 CPU" and "Handy Tech Under $100".
 * 3) The quality of the videos on the channel is still consistent, even after years of the channel existing.
 * 4) They made really good coverage of current shows like the CES.
 * 5) The web series has several spinoffs, such as Techquickie, which is a guide for some tech terms, and Techlinked, which gives the latest news about tech.
 * 6) The web series also has its own forum where viewers can discuss about the latest tech, problems and everything else.
 * 7) Linus himself, alongside with the other hosts like Luke and Riley, have deeply dedicated to this show, making the show worthy to watch.
 * 8) Linus helped Stefan Etienne from The Verge, who posted the infamous gaming PC tutorial, by building the gaming PC with the correct steps and tools.
 * 9) After they got their channel hacked, they gave out tips on how to prevent it from happening again. (Side note, someon at Linus Media Group opened a pdf file from an email for a sponsorship and it so happened to be infected with a virus that gave hackers access to their channels.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Sometimes, the show is quite biased with Intel and Nvidia products (here's an exception ).
 * 2) Most thumbnails are kind of clickbait.
 * 3) Even if it's unintentional, Linus likes to drop things.
