I think a lot of people look to LTT for guidance on PC components and trust their conclusions even though they’re not as technical as something like gamers nexus.
I don’t think that is the case anymore. Saw a comment in an unrelated thread of someone talking up how LTT takes the time to make sure their sponsors are trustworthy in response to someone saying to not trusted whatever products youtubers shill in sponsored segments.
So there is a number of people who do see LTT as a respectable and honest outlet that takes their recommendations seriously.
With details you mean the actual tests and what not? If that is the case, I highly doubt it. LTT is even quoted/referenced/talked about by people like Dave from EEVBlog.
I can’t really judge the tests, I know too little about them. My point was rather that these tests are not really relevant to 99% of buyers. If, for example, GPU A is 3.5% faster than B, but costs 5% more, but also draws 5% more power, is that really a relevant information for a gamer?
What do people like about that character? When I saw him years ago he was clueless regarding technical details and somewhat childish. Did that change?
It’s entertainment. I think hardly anyone actually watches guys videos because of the details - which are often enough irrelevant anyways.

People just want to answer the question: what gets me more fps" - or “should I get this one on sale? Or go for the more expensive version?”
They’re making mistakes on this kind of stuff.

Yes
If you think that, you don’t understand how statistics and computers work.
I guess you don’t understand how gamers think.
I think it’s mostly a “be first, be smart, or cheat” situation, and he was first.
By the time the other productions overtook them in quality, LTT was already established enough to not get affected I guess.
