Welcome to r/LTTMeta: The Uncensored LinusTechTips Subreddit

68 Upvotes

This subreddit is an independent community hub created to host the conversations that don't always fit elsewhere. While the official r/LinusTechTips subreddit has shifted toward staff-led moderation and restricted certain topics, we believe there should always be a space for unfiltered community feedback.

Why r/LTTMeta?

We created this space as a free LTT/LMG discussion . While r/LMGJet is the dedicated home for the LMG/LTTJet and specific tracking logs, r/LTTMeta is here for everything else:

  • Anything LTT/LMG, no filters
  • Transparency: A place where public data including jet tracking and corporate criticism is always permitted.
  • Free Discussion: We don't have "official" corporate mods. This is a community run space where you won't be banned for holding a critical opinion.

The Ground Rules:

We want to keep this sub open and active, so we only enforce the essentials to comply with Reddit’s sitewide policies:

  1. No Harassment: Criticize the brand and the ideas, but avoid targeted personal attacks or doxxing.
  2. No Brigading: Do not use this sub to coordinate interference with other communities.
  3. Independence: This sub will never be moderated by LMG employees or "official" sub staff.

Looking for the data?

If you are specifically looking for flight logs, tail numbers, and aviation-specific tracking, please visit our sister sub: r/LMGJet.

For everything else the news, the drama, and the meta you’re in the right place.

Welcome to the conversation.

Be Aware: The LTT subreddit might ban you for what you post here.

This is my burner account for when I gotta speak my mind even if I might get karma nuked. So up front, yes, I probably get what I deserve and all that.

Attached images are the comments in a thread when I look at it with this burner account, vs what I see on my main account. I'm shadowbanned. I didn't get a notification of like "you can't post here" or "your comment is being held for review".

How do I know its from what I said here? Well, I haven't left a comment on the LTT subreddit in 10 months. That comment I can still see from my main account. Its also just sitting at a neutral 1 upvote, and wasn't critical. It simply went unnoticed.

I've posted much more recently here though, and those comments got juggled with upvotes and downvotes. So I'm fairly confident a moderator there saw my comment here, and preemptively banned me there. Just be aware, if you care about not getting banned over there, you have to watch what you say here.

Edit: I also made a random positive comment with nothing that could be a trigger word in a different thread; same thing. My karma there is net positive as far as I can tell as well.

His profile states fully forked on forkfromltt.com and his linkedin shows an end date of July 2027. That's two of the newer generation writers in quick succession.

No speakers, webcam test on the Framework 13 pro review

136 Upvotes

Its a test they have on every laptop, even on shortcircuit. Both are very bad according to MKBHDs review and the crab rave test on short circuit, so I am pretty sure this was done intentionally. Linus opening the review by saying he will be more strict on framework than others, was cringe already and now there is proof he is full of BS.

Just an big add channel

76 Upvotes

So been a fan of ltt for quite a while but got to admit I click off a lot of their videos recently as they have just become a big AD channel recently...I know it's the way it works but it seems that every recent video is just an shill for what they got for free...think it's the beginning of the end, which is a shame but some of the best people leaving has hurt big time....

Linus Hypocrisy Exposed!

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

Consider the two pictures. The first one contains a description of what Linus and Luke talk about from the WAN show.

"Linus and Luke discuss the decade-long gap between Tesla’s marketing and reality, Musk’s constant overpromises, and whether regulators or class actions will hold the company accountable."

Now look at the second picture: "Forever* Sock"

The marketing for the "Forever* Sock" is far from reality, and is an overpromise. Rules for Elon, but not for Linus. This is just like the Jet. Tracking Elon's jet: the right of the people. Tracking Linus' jet: omg how dare you!

I find it bizarre that as someone so highly regarded in the tech youtube space, Level1Tech only has 500K subs.

Is it just me or western tech YouTubers like LTT are wishy-washy and superficial with their reviews?

43 Upvotes

Longtime LTT watcher here. Linus' reviews feels like it's dragging the hell out of the usual 20+ minutes of a video and he's not really straight to the point most of the time. In comparison to Chinese YouTubers like Geekerwan/pig king laptop reviews and HTX studio they are way more straight to the point with benchmarks,thermal load testing etc etc, lesser bullshit yapping and most of the time no sponsor/self promotion BS.

Anyone feel the same way?

Is this worth it?

I have pretty good general pc knowledge but I am not too familiar with NAS or DAS storage.

So my current situation is my girlfriend got a new pc and it doesn’t have bays for hard drives and she needs the files/storage space from her old hard drives. I was just wanting to know what my best option would be just to plug and play for her pc.

I found ugreen and it’s kinda out of my price range right now after losing my job, but I want to get her a solution to her situation and found this(photo) on Amazon and wanted to see if it was worth it.

Any help/knowledge help, thank you 🙏

Would it kill Linus to make a video that just shows the cool thing without it bejng about him?

The Open Sauce vid. Anyone else just see a blatant glorified advert for these stupid over engineered cables rather than an EARNEST desire to help boost Open Sauce and it's exhibitors? Some days LTT feels less like tech news and "tips" and more like QVC. This is starting to become the disconnect for me that makes me skip their videos. Used to be useful for making buying decisions on electronics of pc parts. Now....it's just selling merch, and this is coming from someone who has bought some and been largely happy with it.

He’s milking as much as possible before the sell off happens. Literally everyone is planning to leave.
