M.T.

The channels that said yes to that BS early look at the 4060...I kind of consider them shills anyway. I won't name them but one of them is pretty big and the dude that runs it constantly claims his channel is "consumer friendly" but he is clearly a liar. This person had to pull a video not long ago because of a tone-deaf review of the 4060 ti. Then to save face, that channel put out a complete backpedal review of the 4060. And, I can't understand how that channel ever got so many subs. I am glad GN and HUB didn't do the preview thing for the 4060. ADA cannot be fixed IMO. Such hubris is just not selling today. I am waiting fpr Nvidia to have their "Intel" moment when things are just not going their way at all.
