Free YouTube Influencer Report on Gamers Nexus

This video is not monetized. This video covers our serious concerns regarding the data accuracy of Linus Media Group, including Linus Tech Tips, ShortCircuit, and TechQuickie, particularly as it relates to rushing content out the door to favor -- by staff's own admission -- quantity over quality. As the company continues to expand into its LTT Labs direction, the importance of accurate data increases; however, even as 'only' entertainment, there are still certain responsibilities to the consumer and the manufacturers to report fairly (and to have defined corrections processes in place). We tried to approach this as objectively as possible and hope that viewers are able to listen to the evidence we present, particularly as it relates to significant and frequent data errors that now present in nearly every technical review video.

We need your continued support to make these time-intensive, resource-intensive investigative videos featuring experts. Grab one of our project & soldering mats, our e-waste inductor dice and Snowflake the cat dice sets, PC building mats, and more. In this video, we investigate NZXT's "Flex" rental PC program and its pre-built rental PCs, including the NZXT Player One, Player One Prime, Player Two, Player Two Prime, Player Three, and Player Three Prime PCs, which regularly bait-and-switch the components under the same name, misrepresent or straight-up lie in marketing, brandish objectively and provably false FPS benchmark numbers, and leverage oppressive terms of service. NZXT jacks up prices and manipulatively calls them a "sale," it has you waive your rights to death or injury claims in relation to its service, and it rips off uninformed consumers beyond anything we've ever seen before.

HELP US FIGHT SUPPRESSION OF INFORMATION: https://store.gamersnexus.net/black-market-gpu-backers Bloomberg LP filed a copyright strike against GamersNexus on YouTube, targeting our NVIDIA AI GPU Black Market movie that we uploaded last week. The illegitimate and invalid copyright strike abuses the YouTube copyright strike system via a DMCA takedown notice. GamersNexus has filed a counterclaim, sent a demand letter to Bloomberg, and has dug into some possible motives for the illegitimate claim. These include deeper financial ties with NVIDIA, ties to China and Singapore, a failed competing video by Bloomberg, and more. OUR VIDEO IS BACK UP.

SUPPORT THE DATA DRAGNET SERIES: https://store.gamersnexus.net/data-dragnet The LG Smart TVs we've tested have first-party ACR (automatic content recognition) functionality that can pry into your personal life with greater precision than you might realize, with LG Ad Solutions' executives and leadership saying, on camera, that LG "owns the glass." Not you -- even though you bought it -- but them. They also talk about knowing everybody in the household, knowing the secondary devices, moving from TVs to smartphones and other screens, and more in their B2B discussions. Beyond just the fact that we think the TV's native behavior parallels malware, the LG Smart TVs we tested also have a number of security vulnerabilities that can be exploited to convert the TVs into covert listening devices. In this investigation, we dive into the mix of LG's first-party functionality that (in our opinions) is tantamount to spying and LG's vulnerabilities and exploits that they have failed to protect against. LG responded to GamersNexus.
