Often, yes, but than you have 3blue1brown. MKBHD and Jonathan Morrison also have a more tasteful, relaxed tone.
I love hardware reviews but not this format and I don’t really care for games. I was wondering if there’s something akin to Anandtech’s style review on YouTube.
Note that Linus tech review is targeting mass market consumers, not expert or semiexpert.
The craziness you mentioned is typical YouTube banter fillers. That was not only expected, they are actually useful. Otherwise the video would be unbearable. I don't expect those to be problem for the channel's main audience.
But he does a very good job in educating his target audience.
I have been thinking lately, because the cost of making a video is higher, there is a barrier of entry and people tends to do a much better job in research and presenting information. Comparing to blog post or mot webpage it seems we have dumped it down so much the noise are increasing while the signal are shrinking rapidly.
This is why I like Wendell from Level1Techs. He's the quintessential tech guy who has really in-depth knowledge and insight coupled with a bit of bearable craziness... although I actually like Ryan more because he's basically me.
From when I need to watch a video review for some product (which are still useful for physical products where ergonomy/appereance/usability is a factor), the more time the reviewer himself appears on screen, the more useless the review. I want to watch the product, not the reviewer... Oh god.

Maxine was a reviewer previously but she quit
Linus Techtips, blargh. I can't stand his format. It is unwatchable for me, so I'm out.
There is a proper story submitted here, on that CPU https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25589081
