No! Bad Linus! Bad!
So do you find it acceptable to promote an app, which was designed from ground up to 'steal' (encourage you to spend it happily) money?
No
I' m just think that this kind of sponsor is not good for the channel. Bc. everyone hates it and it is like you said, a dead meme. Which it should stay forever pls. Would you please not do that again?
sad
plz do a sponsor on Brawl stars and make a offer to get brawl pass downloading from you linus
I would have liked to see the end connectors get run over as well. I realize the plastic bit would break, but I'd like to see how the surrounding shroud holds up. If it were me, I would hopefully have some spare ethernet connectors with me and could crimp a new one on, but if that fancy shroud collapses or damages something internally, I'd be better off with standard cat5 at that point. It'd also be nice to see something like a wetness or dirt/mud test. Being durable to user error, weather, and dirt are big concerns. Another test might be seeing how well they hold up being put over a flame for a minute or so, or being left on top of a heated piece of metal like a steel drum or cast iron skillet for a long amount of time.
RAID SHADOW LEGENDS STRIKES AGAIN
so many people downvote because they can't handle the truth
He’s an official sell out. He has a raid sponsorship
even the thumbnail preview is raid
This is what you came here for. 0:35 11:23
I've seen pc users flex on waay stupider stuff. The price is outrageous for a ethernet cable, but honestly well within reach for an enthusiast.
Oh no raid got to LTT too
Raid shadow legends the ultimate money grab lol
Raid Shadow Legends... really bro? Dis will be my 2nd dislike since i have subscribed :)
We use those "ethernet inside a xlr connector" allot for av and lights in professional stage production environments, not invented by Athena.
why do you shill for Raid Shadow Legends :(
5:05 _that's enough internet for today_
I watched your followup to the response to this sponsor spot on the WAN Show, and I honestly didn't think twice about the sponsor and just enjoyed consuming the content. I like rugged ethernet cables! Sponsor spots on your videos (and in general) are, to me, either neutral or positive value to me. In retrospect though, I honestly do feel a little uncomfortable with LMG technically "hawking" this game to some degree as I do feel it was designed with rather unscrupulous and unsavory design goals, but that is a separate discussion, which again, you brought up on the WAN Show - where does one draw the line between "capitalistic" and "predatory/parasitic"? It is possible that a reasonable definition could be arrived at, but that is certainly something that deserves discussion. I know I'd watch that show =p
The thumbnail looks like two dogs are mating in public
Those wall plates and connecters are called "EtherCon" in the AV industry @Linus Tech Tips. We use them a lot
As a lighting technician I have destroyed so many ethernet / ethercon cables
Omg they actually sponsored that garbage
Today's episode is sponsored by raid shadow legends
RAID SHADOW LEGENDS
I now know why LMG and Linus is putting out more videos, because those red camera proprietory cable costs 150dollars. RIP linus's bank account.😭😭😭😂😂
Does linus with LTT gear on look like a heroine addict?
Seriously, a tactical cable ? Like support troops can strangle incoming foes with it ?
Oh FFS Linus. Slap 1-2 dollars worth of Sugru on those $150 cables, to make far superior transition strain reliefs.
Cable quality is basically pure wankery, beyond being constructed to standardized spec. It doesn't mean _some_ "excessive" features and elements can't be genuinely useful in _some_ contexts, but the vast majority of it has little to no benefit. That most usually comes down to special cases of extreme noise, or when trying to push signal transfer _beyond_ the standard's spec rating. Personally, I wouldn't want my ethernet cable, especially one like this that's obviously intended for mobile and temporary connectivity, to have this level of mechanical strength. In case of an accident, I would rather have the cable or its locking mechanism fail, than the connected port in either end getting badly damaged or completely torn out.
They also use barrel connector Ethernet cables in stage lighting
9:45 The real toughest cable. Tough on the wallet.
11:20 when he announced the sponcer he sounded so sad
After listening to the wan show I came to watch this video to see why people are annoyed and I now see why. You Linus clearly makes it look like you are playing the game which if you recall in WAN show and I know you do, you specifically said: "I do not play Raid Shadow Legends". The reason why i had to come back to watch this is because one I have Floatpleane and two I wasn't really interested in the video. I am gonna be honest this type of sponsor where you falsely depict your self playing the game as in a game you have tried and love because that is exactly how you show it then I won't support this channel or on Floatplane.
I come here for the content. I don't care what the ads are for. Keep it up!
shadow legends is cancer. disappointed. Do better
Man, I sure hate it when I accidentally unplug my ethernet cable and tie it between two trucks, then one of my friends happens to start towing the other truck which happens to be in neutral, therefore breaking my ethernet cable. I better get this super-strong cable so that doesn't happen again!
I really think that might take the cake for laziest segue to date
This stuff is not going to be loaded in and out of a truck 100 times because it's not going to see professional use. The Convertashell thing is kinda nice, but I'd much rather just put a Ethercon connector on one end because this cable doesn't do anything to protect the rj45 on your computer anyway.
Pro audio already has ruggedized cat6 on the market, and emergency infrastructure? There are also milspec connectors that are already in widespread use. I guess elitecore just wanted to sell something to rich gamers.
POV: You're running out of ideas.
How much did Raid pay you? Was it worth it? To lose almost all your epic gamer points like that? It's a damn shame, I guess the economic crash got to everyone.
42 dollars really isn't that bad. I've seen apple cables that cost more
and he didnt even mention how the connector is blocking another port.
Interesting, but I'm not in the target audience who needs ultra tuff cables (mine just go cable managed behind my desk into the wall). Lol gave no attention to the RSL promo because I'm fairly used to seeing/skipping them on firearm related channels (because there aren't as many sponsors that straight up don't care who they sponsor to promote them). Grow up and just skip it
Came back after watching the discussion on WAN Show to see if it was as bad as people were complaining. It's not, lol.
Guys your making fun of him for stage sponsee don’t forget ITS JANUARY
oh gosh, raid shadow. Not you too
7thousentth comment let’s go
Never knew I should look for "towing capacity" when shopping for an ethernet cable until today.
Boooooo raid shadow Legends boooooooo
shill
I’m here to see the Raid ad
Raid: Shadow Legends yikes
Linus you sold out for about everyone, but raid shadow legends. I new you were low but not that low
RAID SHADOW LEGENDS!!!!
If you don't like the sponsorship, just get floatplane :D
No Rocket Launcher? My day is ruined and my disappointment is immeasurable.
I came here to read the pleb comments after watching the wan show
What with all the dislikes? This was one of the better videos this year.
the raid ad
Great video. That cable is really cool and I guess you could use it for almost anything. ;)
This just in: 55k people have no standards what so ever
so most of copper solid can starch 23 AWG and you cant starch it to 30 AWG and same goes with compound used to jacket it the lowest elongation by UL rating is 150% which means that you can take 1 inch and starch it to minimum of 3 inches
These would be great for any Live audio network. I love the swappable ethercon ends, useful when connecting to other people's systems and they don't have ethercon connections. Thanks for showing these.
the toughest cable is probably the one you got stuck doing a spin
Raid Shadow
This is a throwback to when Linus destroyed a keyboard like 5 years back.
its upsetting to see that kind of sponsor spot. These games are designed to lure in teenagers and will literally make you pay to play. Integrity? NO
Remember when linus made jokes about raid saying he'd never take the sponser? Haha Ha
i dont remember
wtf dude
Came here after the wan show to tell everyone bitching.... Aye bro, SHUT THE FUCK UP...... this shits free to watch, and it’s free for a reason, 2-3 double taps and it’s gone.
Came here just to see the Raid Shadow Legends plug for posterity since Luke & Linus mentioned the "drama" on WANSHOW
Fuck you guys I skip the sponsor anyway, this video was gold
linus tell us why u did this.
so this is the cable which made linus get stuck to it , in his later post lmaoo
11:23 he sound so disappointed
Fortnite is more a scam than Raid Shadow Legends as the target audience is children.
Bro, who told you that? Not only does raid also target children, they are pay2win, while fortnite gives you cool skins, you cant compare one to another, you basically cant play raid without spending money on it, while i believe you get skins for free in fortnite and you can still play the game just fine without spending a dollar on it.
Brutal intro Lol
So do you find it acceptable to promote an app which was designed to get you into money wasting and addiction????
ITS A TOTALLY FREEE RPG PVP DVD FOR PEOPLE WITH ADHD
RAIIIDDDD SHADOWWWW LEG ENDDSSS
Shit Shadow Idiots 😑
Thought LLT wouldn´t do any sponsorship ... apparently not
raid shadow bullshit, you just lost a viewer
It's cool to see what happens to a normal ethernet cable when hit a bunch with a hammer! Thanks Linus!
Even fiber optic line has Kevlar by default. I honestly expected that they would have put Kevlar in this, since the equipment to do that definitely exists.
RAID is the lowest form of sponsorship and the app the most horrible predatory garbage and you should be nowhere near this trash and hold yourselves to hugher standards. Smaller youtube channels sceaming for cash is easier to understand but you absolutely not. Very disappointed.
RAID spends their budget on marketing instead of the game. It's not a good game, at all, but it has a huge TEMPORARY playerbase because of the constant, unceasing advertising.
quality ad right there
Thanks for ruining Wan Show. God dammit.....
ALL videos sponsored by predatory games like mobile and free-to-play will get an instant downvote. LISTEN TO YOUR AUDIENCE. THEY DO NOT SUPPORT THESE SPONSORS!
As a true legend once said: "is this an out of season April Fool's joke?"
Just feel like I have to say that I left a dislike for this video but it was *not* because of the raid shadow legends sponsor. There was just a bit too much clowning around.
It's not about what kind of company Raid Shadow Legends is, it's about the hunger for money that LMG has that they are willing to sacrifice their integrity for it.
Not the raid shadow fffff .. .
Stopped watching when raid shadow legends ad came up
Good content. Bad sponsor. Please no more.
That's about as useless as a tactical toothbrush.
Thats games garbage so was this video
and yet a dog can still bite it in half
linus i swear to god if you sponsor raid again i'll never watch another video
Their wasn't enough explosions.
WAN Show today went into depth on the sponsor spot. He didn't know until it hit the prompter. Raid paid them a middling fee for a sponsor spot and Linus didn't know how predatory they are. It's over and done. Move along folks.
Fck raid
Why does anybody give two shits if someome has a sponsor for there work? Get a grip
@Lunchbox13 being offered a lot of money is my point, it's a career, obviously you'll take a sponsor offering a lot of money. And he didn't really say much, he told you about the game as it is, yea it's a shitty game, doesn't mean the man should turn it down. 10 seconds of advertising surely doesn't ruin years of work? It's rly not a hard thing to look past
@ProjectKillZ what do you mean? is heavily advertising and lying about features of a game not essentially pushing someone to download it? As i said they have lots of sponsors for the same spot and they could have easily refused it, but they didnt because raid offered them a LOT of money.
@Lunchbox13 if anything it's 30 seconds extra on a video, which you can skip if it's so upsetting
@Lunchbox13 nobodies making or. Pushing anybody to download the game, it's a sponsor its part of how someome w this job earns there money, jst get over it? It isn't a personal attack lmao
Because they essentially get their viewers to get a bad gaming experience that forces you to pay to do anything in it, while getting sponsored by a laptop company for example, or a server host, you actually get something for your money. Its a really predatory company, and they have lots of sponsors (literally every video is sponsored), it was clearly a huge cash grab at the expense of the viewer.
