Honestly why does this bother you so much?
I personally couldn't a give a shit if somebody bought a a camera for $1, or a million dollars.
>>62173085
You need to buy a better monitor.
The RED camera is used to shoot actual fucking movies you can see in theatres. They have a list on their site.
No shit it's $140k. There are cameras 5 and 10 times that price that exist.
If your job is to pump out videos every day that get millions of views, and you can invest the $140k on the camera knowing it will improve the quality of your work, give me one reason why you wouldn't do it?
because diminishing returns are not a problem if you are rich
>>62173407
>A camera
They bought two
>>62173407
what is the point of shooting in 8k or whatever when 4k isnt even widely adopted?
his show is more informative than it is cinematic so its all just a little bit overkill.
>>62173370
>You need to buy a better monitor.
You need a new topic to spam daily, or at least take this shit to /p/ where your kind of autism can properly be shunned.
>>62173486
No, you need a better monitor.
>>62173613
Huh? Looks the same on all my devices. Him and his ameteur morons have been struggling with color since the beginning of his channel. Look at his skin tone. They are fucking morons.
>>62173706
Now you get it.
>>62173452
If you think LTT is informative you're not welcome here
Also if you watch the video he explains 8K footage gives you a lot more to work with especially when you know you'll be downsampling to 4k or 1080
I personally watch purely for the production value
>>62173613
pretty sure it's autism
This YouTuber is a massive moron. It's like listening to nails on a black board trying to get through his vids. Is he parodying a voice?
i forget the topic but i was watching his WAN show live and made a comment in chat that i had leukemia and he literally called me a liar
fuck linus
>>62174092
Liar.
>>62173452
shit you film now will look good in 20 years , if you archive shit you want a good futureproof quality
also why not , he likes going overkill
>>62173407
>that get millions of views
Not true
More like 150k-300k
On major releases like CPUs and graphics cards maybe he'll hit 500k and above
>>62174000
>HEY GAYS , ITS AUSTIN
is way worse than linus
linus is okay in my opinion
>>62174092
fake and gay
>>62174158
Austin and the negro are just advertisers filling the gap of the numale and minority audience
Linus at the bare minimum still does reviews and actual coverage
RED cameras are not suitable at all for poorly lit rooms such as their sets because they pick up all the flaws
>>62174114
>>62174171
this is what i expect from 4chan but for a on air personality to do it wtf... btw both of you jky
Dude!
Shut up!!
>>62174612
>poorly lit rooms such as their sets
Do you suffer from some kind of retardation?
>>62174147
>More like 150k-300k
>lying on the internet
How stupid are you?
>not watching the most intelligent and hardcore tech enthusiast on the planet in the highest quality
It's like you don't want to be sold consumer bullshit so your mom can buy it for you since his fans are mostly barely high school age spergs.
>>62172928
Is it wrong that I am actually kinda impressed by the performance of the video in OP's pic?
>>62172928
Maybe the guy is trying to future proof. Maybe he thinks he'll still be around posting unboxings in twenty years when the average user can actually watch this resolution.
>>62175024
Watch the top video. The reasons are in that.
>>62174847
Who wears this many earrings? I mean, that's really gay.
>>62175036
Somone who is in denial about his age and the fact that he has 3 kids with a woman that looks like a ladyboi.
>>62175036
all the cool kids would do that in the late 90's early 2000's
i'm glad i never fell for that meme

Please just staaaap!!
>>62173824
>if you think the show is informative get out
>you should watch the video to know how 8k is used to make better video
top kek
Goy please, you will never even see $140,000 in your life. Plz buy Intel

DAMAGE CONTROLL
Remember when Luke was still on camera? Those were the days, even if he could be even cringier then Linus, he was at least more informed.
>>62176447
Why isn't he on camera anymore? Do they just get a lot less views if it isn't linus?
>The REAL reason we spent 140,000 on 8k..
Linus: "Because I can."
>>62173407
linus doesn t shoot movies tho . he shoots low quality youtube videos . RED camera needs good lighting , not the shit lighting he is using
Linus is so retarded
>rebuilds his server every 3 months with 100 SSDs and enterprise HDDs
>WE REALLY NEED THIS GUYS, WE STORE EVERY ONE OF OUR DAILY VIDEOS IN 4K JUST IN CASE
>still has a server failure, redundancy and backups somehow didn't work so he needs to pay for some company to try to retrieve his precious data
>managed to get most back
>"phew guys, I won't make that mistake again"
>buys more and more cameras and server racks
>now storing everything in 8K for maximum storage rape
>PBs of cooled drives with multigigabit throughput for the network just to store footage of them shooting each other with nerf guns and reviewing tech that's already irrelevant
>just in case one of the editors wants to use a 2 second clip from any of these thousands of videos later
I hate that Asian boy.... Linus is just dumb
>>62176447
luke is a fucking idiot
i watched one video with him talking
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BV0-EPUYuQc
and basically 90% of what he said was entirely wrong or outdated. im pretty sure they just spout the first results they get from a google search before making a video
>>62174138
There's nothing about his videos that is worth futureproofing, they will have no monetary value in 20 years time, any cultural value will still be the same if produced in HD.
Actually atm it's costing him more to produce, not just because of the camera pricing, but all the additional parts needed for it, storage space, processing requirements and computer parts. Early adopters always lose out.
>>62172928
early adopters are always dumb
>>62173407
The quality is virtually indistinguishable (these are the most diminished of diminished returns here)
Also, if you watch the video it was colossally retarded how much of a rip off it was for the little components. It was something like $150 for a metal baseplate that you could attach to the arm so if you wanted the priveleage of actually attaching the arm to something you could
>>62173407
>t. linus
>>62175082
>3 kids
holy kek
>>62174000
I agree, the fucker is completely annoying. What's worse than his voice is that he comes off as tech illiterate by giving throw away advice such as "hurr 7700k is beter at teh 144hurtz gemyng"; no fucking shit, like I didn't know that.
He panders to 12 year olds who think they're hackers because they managed to boot manjaro off a usb stick, he's not an an actual tech channel. If you want to watch a legit tech channel go watch Wendell.
>>62176471
He is working on their early access platform development and thus not actively involved in videomaking anymore
>>62173370
>t. LG
>>62173407
Because it's a much more advanced piece of tech than what they are used to and it shows. The fucking post processing they slap on is trash and the colors are horribly disbalanced.
They should stick to $200 .mp4s
>>62176518
It's pure entertainment. I never get sick of watching his rodeo.
It's neo tech consumerism as performance art.
ignore Linux thread
brandon is garbage at cinematography too
their latest videos are so shit too
>designing a gaming tv
>adds in composite plugs
>puts HDMI ports at the front of the TV
>caps out at 4 hdmi when it's like 20c a connector and it's completely fictional
>>62172928
when he is like 80 years old and he has no money hes gonna be pissed he bought that.
>>62178301
that 180k would be worth over $5 million if invested for 50 years
>>62175082
>>62177906
Jesus I thought this guy was like barely 20

>>62178917

All this jealous and denial...
>>62178971

hiring competent cameramen and editors would achieve a better result.
>>62176518
>there are people who hate linus yet still watch enough of his videos to know all this
>>62179215
>>there are people who hate linus yet still watch enough of his videos to know all this
didn't ya know? These days people only watch things to hate them. Go on to /tv/ /got/(game of thrones) They've hated it since season 3 yet they wait in anticipation every week to have more shit to complain about. We're moving into an era where we feel we're losing any many to live in life hence the increase in suicides around the world. Some of us merely live a life fueled by rage
>>62172928
Can't stand Linus. Guy is fucking cancer. He tries to do IT shit and royally fucks up all the time. He throws together these half-assed solutions using retarded ass hardware and software.
The amount of fucking money he invests in equipment, you think he could just fucking make a SAN for his shit. Oh, but no. He's got to buy some retarded fucking chassis to put tons of HDDs in which can't even RAID all that shit.
So many times I've seen him do retarded shit like this. It's impressively stupid. He is great at rattling off retarded consumer hardware specs, and then falls flat on his face when it comes to anything technical about computing and IT.
Luke is pretty chill, though. I bet Linus sucks his dick on the reg when his azn rat wife isn't looking.
>>62174092
God speed anon. I have multiple myeloma. Best of luck to you.
>>62172928
does youtube even go past 1080? what is the point buying now
>>62179462
>I bet Linus sucks his dick on the reg when his azn rat wife isn't looking.
Keep your fantasies out of this
>>62179562
Yes, moron. It would take you a 5 second Google search to find this out. They have done 4K for years now. I believe they already have support for 8K content.
$148k or not its worth it.
Anons saying 8k is not even widespread and i thought they explained why 8k? for noobs very well.
>Shoots in 8k
>Supersampled 4k footage
>Still gets a ton of noise because of inadequate lighting
>Galaxy Note 8 vlog shot like a mammal
>wife with nice feet tho...
>>62179601
lel and how many people are watching a nerdy white guy in 4k as opposed to porn
>>62172928
Youtube was a mistake.
