People shouldn't fool themselves, Linus is running a business, and the clickbait titles and thumbnails bring in viewers. Linus even stated this in a video.

I do think his heart is in the right place and his team is able to produce high quality, both in terms of the content and the production. If LTT is serious about LTT Labs, then they need someone like Ian Cutress, and LTT is one of the few place that would be able make him a genuine offer.

Agreed, I get annoyed with the over-the-top-ness of many of his videos, even the podcast, but overall they do a decent job of covering things. Clickbait titles/thumbnails are unfortunately table stakes on YT and while I hate it I can't bring myself to hate the player. LTT is far from perfect and I certainly don't agree with him on everything but I'd rank his content over quite a few other channels.
