I used to watch LTT all the time. I stopped watching some years back after he installed a six figure Wi-Fi system on his "estate." I had enjoyed watching a relatable everyman review computer hardware, and more often than not break things. I didn't sign up to watch a millionaire dick around with exotic tech in his McMansion.
Doesn't help he has actually gotten dumber over the years.
He very clearly has fallen out of touch and basically is just a personality at this point.
So your not even watching a tech enthusiast millionaire dick around with things.
Your just watching a rich white dude dick around with tech and his company.
I always hated his "oh no i hope i don't drop this expensive thing that you peasants can hardly afford... Oh i dropped it' schtick. People cheered him on like aome village idiot. At some point he said he feels like he's pushing expensive unnecessary stuff to people who can hardly afford it and he wants to stop doing it. But he never did. He's doing tech reviews and i assume a podcast, because everyone has a podcast, and his studio is ABSURD. I watched some other video where they needed something from the LTT studio and they even commented on how fucking big his operation is. He had rooms there he didn't even know existed. I stick to the opinion that he's just a slimy rick man, nothing else.
Would it be any better if he's black?
Why racially profile if it doesnt matter?
Edit: I like how I am getting downvoted for asking why the mentioned skin color is of any importance.
If a dude or dudette is a rich asshole it doesnt matter if they are yellow, white, black or green. Asshole stays asshole.
