My Dongle Hider for the Logitech Unifying Receiver was also shown. So I’m hyped about that!
As for clickbait I think its a classic “don’t hate the player, hate the game”. Linus and other Youtubers do this not necessarily because they want to but because they need to in order to get the video views. This kind of thing isn’t anything new. Take a look at newspaper headlines today vs 50 years ago. The front page of a news paper has always been designed in a way to catch your eye and buy a copy.
Youtube thumbnail pictures are basically the modern “Don’t judge a book by its cover”. Linus’ newer thumbnails are done in a way where they show a hint of what the video subject is plus a photo of the host and honestly it works. If I’m scrolling through my sub feed I can identify what the subject and who the host is (which reveals the channel) without having to actually read the small channel name text below it.
Anyway, sorry for the mini-rant. I’m excited to get my Ryzen 5 upgrade when available. Gives me some time to start thinking about turning my 11th gen board into a DIY router.
