The thing is basically every video only exists to promote something. And by that I don't mean the video sponsors or the merch store mentions. I mean every video he does basically only exists because some company wants to promote their new product and sends it to him, which makes every single video in itself an ad. An ad that is filled with more ads for other things.

You could say the same about all the tech sites given that they also recieve the hardware for free from the manufacturers.

Except they also do other cool stuff. Also the good sites label their articles as ads if they are. Linus gets around it in a sly way which I can't assume is entirely ethical. I mean I'm gonna continue to watch it because it's informational but I will never be able to shed the feeling that I'm watching an ad. Which is probably a good thing.
