LTT is only popular because of youtube in the first place and kind of bad at what they do. I've seen lots of bad methodology and low value content so added them to my "don't recommend" list years ago. More on topic, Floatplane doesn't fix any of the problems with youtube, it's just another take on it that they're filling up with more clickbait thumbnails.



They literally have their own testing lab for hardware tests.

The regular lighter content brings in the money though, tech deep dives aren't exactly audience magnets.


I have had various ways of testing things over the years, too, and like I said, they're not doing a good job. They don't employ experts, they just project expertise to an uninformed audience.
