~~⚠️ De-clickbait-ify the youtube titles or your post will be removed!~~
~~Floatplane titles are perfectly fine.~~
~~LTT/LMG community. Brought to you by ******... Actually, no, not this time. This time it's brought to you by Lemmy, the open communities and free and open source software!~~
~~If you post videos from Youtube/LTT, please please un-clickbait the titles. (You can use the title from https://nitter.net/LTTtranslator/ but it doesn't seem to have been updated in quite some while...)~~

I know saying "how many people still watch LTT" is kinda dumb with the views they pull in, but fuck haven't most people outgrown them? LTT helped me learn a lot of stuff when I started really getting into PC gaming decade ago, but after a few years I felt like it was just tech fluff videos. Most of their videos seemed like an ad for some fotm tech or just very basic concepts. I just don't see how people can still watch it after a few years just because it seems they make their videos to attract the lowest common denominator.
It's Emily now, she came out on her private channel
Her videos and appearances where a bit awkward at first but all of a sudden they went hard. Easily my favorite host, no punches pulled on the nerdy detail which is something I’ve learned to appreciate in other nerds over the years - listen to those who are nerdier than you. Hope we get to see her hosting again someday.
I have a feeling we might not see Emily anymore, she is just too "controversial" to be on screen for a big company like LMG
I do hope that her absence from recent videos is of her own volition and that she'll present more when she wants to.
