I somewhat agree with this.

Personally I view Jay as the better version of Linus from LTT but still in the same camp of "I dunno if I should fully trust his info".

No offense to Jay. I think he's genuinely trying to learn and my opinion of him was improved after he asked GN's Steve and crew in trying to improving their benchmarking process.

If possible I would still prefer if he delayed making some vids about topics outside his field of expertise until he had a good foundation to talk from.

Sort of like:

Late is just for a little while, suck is forever.’ Right?

I would agree with that. Gamer's Nexus is setting the standard on how to do benchmarks right. Jay is only marginally better at it than a random guy with a webcam and a bedroom rig.

Jay is good for the builds and side projects, yes. I don't bother watching his hardware reviews.

And yes, the variance between his Windows and Linux benchmarks seems too large.

I've seen that kind of thing out of Linus Sebastian too, with the infamous 30 day Linux challenge, and I remember when they took a young woman on their staff who was there as I think a graphic designer and they had her spec out and build a PC with no coaching.

Chin first no reading no help no think only send. Color me not impressed.

Do things like that, but have someone experienced do some coaching.

Wouldn’t call it a reaction video. It’s a commentary on a video.

It’s not the dumb shit where someone watches a movie and then “reacts” lol.

It just copies the video description automatically when your cross-post, but I deleted it manually now.
