re: PC Discussion - Gaming, Performance and Enthusiasts

Linus is just about the only guy I watch nowadays oddly enough. Everyone else has gone off the deep end (jayz), tries to hard with clickbaity shite (nitwit), or just does boring ole shite I don't care to watch (everyone else).

Linus has basically come full circle and is now one of the few generating original, good content

Really bad timing for bad PR for sure

It doesn’t really matter right now though, no one can keep 3000 series cards in stock for anyone really to care, that’s by far the bigger story.

Availability of components is just a nightmare. frick giving to reviewers, make em buy too. I don’t give a shite about people whining about not getting free cards.

That Linus segment on it was damn good. He didn't hold back and looked legitimately pissed.

Multiple videos coming out now from the big youtubers on this. Not sure what Nvidia was thinking other than "any publicity is good publicity" I guess. Just saw jayz2centz come out with his video, and basically ended saying blacklist me too, IDC, lol

That really isn't the issue here. The issue is Nvidia attempting to control the reviews and coverage of their cards by refusing to provide review samples to those reviewers whom they think aren't being "positive" enough with their reviews.

Nvidia is in a position where they can do whatever they want, they don’t need reviews. They can’t keep up with demand. If they don’t want to give their cards to people who don’t give them good reviews, oh well. These reviewers are whiney bitches when they don’t get free shite for any reason.

I hate the “I’m an influencer, give me free shite and if you don’t, I’m gonna put you on blast” garbage. With supply not able to meet demand, I’d like to see the whole industry just go to a you have to get in line with everyone else system.

Seems like you're skirting the issue and sucking off Nvidia. We got enough fanboys around here.


They deserve the heat. Period.

Nvidia can suck it. They deserve the bad press.

While their cards are in demand, there is far more than the hype of the cards that is keeping stock low. Factories shut down, bots, and horrible management by the retailers.

This is a solid quote

At least someone got the joke.

Put it this way - the shite we would buy would look a lot different if all companies did what Nvidia did to people reviewing their products.

Not really, people can do research outside of youtube, we did it for a long time before these people existed. They can make a living without getting freebies. Those of us that don’t pay attention to them would still get to see benchmarks in their normal place from people who are first adopters. It’s just easier for these people to get one before anyone else without any cost. This does impact their bottom line on YouTube substantially and this is why they are angry. They make their high view counts by being first with the devices. If they have to get in line with everyone else, then other people will be doing the videos first. Doesn’t impact big youtubers as much with already established audiences because they will still get high views.

If we are all fanboys anyway, doesn’t these reviewers just help us confirm our biases and not impact our purchasing habits?
