Whenever I see Linus I feel like everything is rushed and not thought through. He barely knows what he is holding. He just doesn't care; he has 20 more reviews he has to record today. Or something like that.
"Deal breaker! It doesn't even do my laundry."
That's honestly my biggest problem with him as well. He makes such a big thing about having 900 videos a week or whatever that it just makes you think that he can't possibly put any real effort into any of them, it's literally not possible. Why not reduce the number videos and actually produce better quality content.
Part of the problem is that he has to be in every video or almost every video the channel producers. If you look at something like Corridor Digital they have a number of people who are regularly on camera so individuals don't have to do a bunch of videos one after another. So each individual video gets more focus.
What's the point in putting out a badly informed review, all it does is weaken your brand.
I disagree with this argument, him being in every video doesn't reduce the quality because the videos aren't written by him, and the products aren't primarily tested by him. He's mostly serving the role of an actor/host. I guess it maybe reduces the possibility of re-recording clips, but I don't think that's the largest factor in a video's quality.
That feels like a far assessment. Makes me think that he grabbed the tigger by the tail with his career and is afraid to let go.
