How many subbed years ago, and don't bother checking YouTube anymore (much less unsubbing as a statement)?
i am one who was subbed at some point. I would go to them for things like Cases reviews .. maybe monitors. Eventually Hardware Canucks became so much better than anyone else in the realm of case reviews, that i unsubbed from LTT.

I always thought LTT were too sensationalistic - meaning they really really put a lot of importance on "how cool this THING is" - and their reviews were targeted at kids, and people who'll never actually buy the product reviewed. Think, your internet 15yo kid that loves watching HOW POWERFUL is the new 98700 XXX DeathExplosion IntelVidia video card, in the same way people watch videos of Ferraris and Lamborghini being reviewed.

Hardware Unboxing actually does some pretty solid reviews when it comes to low end products, be they GPUs, or mobos, and i find his advice a lot more .. uh .. "relevant" to my actual purchase of parts.

I've not subbed to LTT but I have watched some of their videos. I've noticed them getting more click-baity and sensationalist.

After this recent hootenanny I just told YouTube to not recommend videos from that channel any more.
