Linus Gabriel Sebastian & Linus Media Group / Linus Tech Tips - Narcissistic corporate shill YouTuber driving his media empire into the ground. KILL COUNT: 2

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
Hr made a video a little while ago about how expensive those were, too.
Linus is obsessed with pretending to be an actual professional company by using official Pantone products but his business is just a bunch of retarded manchildren riding out a tech bubble that's going to burst in the near future.

And tbh I can believe the zoomer girl's accusations that they're a company full of creepy sex pests and have no divide between management other employees, because again: manchildren.

The Pantone chips and sheets I can understand the investment knowing that merch makes up more than half of his total revenue not to mention they save time and money on prototyping.
The problem is management, because Linus likes to involve himself in the fun stuff of the company and not the boring yet necessary ones.

Logistics and customer service? boring
server management? boring
taking care of your employees and giving proper pay? boring

Look like a good and caring boss with fancy goodies on social media? FUN!
make more LTT goodies to play around? FUN!
invest in a lab n act as if u know the machines and industrial requirements? FUN!
bitching about servers breaking and losing data cuz of neglect? FUN!

heck maybe get too involved cuz you can play with more toys like using the machines that manufacture the screwdriver handles.
 
From what i can tell it is someone who denies the existence of the European Union
If I had to guess an anti-euro would be saying every country have their own sovereignty or something like that. Brexit was anti-euro after all.
Brexit and Trump in the same year, just look at the world it left us in.

In this case im surprised someone like Linus would allow such a title in his videos for an employee, let alone that employee remain an employee for it

This is probably the best summary of the situation. 100% agree.

Agree with this too. All the accusations ring true. This type of environment is probably less of an issue for men (proverbial frat house work environment). Speaks to your point about how the company is a bunch of unprofessional manchildren,but she's still a retarded BPD whore so i will continue to laugh at her.

I'm sure all his viewers who have 20 year old monitors, 99% of people who don't calibrate their monitors/tv, watch on TV/Phone, really care that these shitty youtube videos are color "accurate".

I can only assume they do work outside of the youtube channel.

Linus has made several videos complaining about YouTube's "broken" HDR processing and no longer uploads HDR videos, so all those Pantone colors are a total waste for his SDR videos.

YouTube implements HDR and SDR downgrading of HDR videos properly, but Linus' staff was too stupid to google how to make a video that's graded for both color spaces and they convinced him that YouTube was broken.
As proof that Linus had no clue what he was talking about, here's a video which is properly graded for both HDR and SDR:
(If you don't have an HDR monitor, watch it on your phone for the HDR version as most recent phones have HDR screens. You'll know its working if your brightness jumps to 100% when you play the video).
 
And now the piece de resistance:
Longwin fan tester video dropped - Greek version only for now, but he should be dropping the English version soon. From what I can see (auto-subtitles are all over the place), he got it functioning and generating results within a week of receiving it.
For anyone interested Aris just dropped the english version

>But in general, the machine... i could say that it's kind of idiot-proof

Shots fired?
 
well well well gotta expect the mental gymnastics of this is gonna be insane
"So, you see, I gotta drop like a million dollars a year on Pantone because I need to have exactly Linus Tech Tips orange."
Here you go, bud, you can have this one for free. #FE4D00
"Oh nooo but it won't be exactly the same if it's printed on textiles vs plastics vs paper"

Here's the key thing that Linus is missing that could save him thousands. Nobody fucking gives a shit.
If the LTT water bottle isn't the precise shade of orange then as long as it's in the same Vivid Tangerine family then nobody is going to even notice, let alone care. Building brand recognition is one thing but this is just Linus throwing way too much money around to solve a non-problem.
 
I deal with color matching in work sometimes and it becomes less what the customer's actual PMS colors are in their guidelines and more what they have on hand now that it's to match. Could be PMS 300C for the guideline, but a previous printer or manufacturer didn't match it, tough shit, you have to match what it is now. Could be 301C now or often a CMYK match, and that's before getting into different materials that color goes on. And no one cares as long as it matches close enough, no one is going to freak out that on a sunset it doesn't look right for 20 minutes.

And this makes his Chinesium grift even more of a joke, because they're the ones who usually screw it up in the first place and you have to work around them because no one ever truly fights back on a color issue unless they drastically changed it.

The only time I'd say dropping those thousands on Pantone color matching is appropriate; is if his company was larger than it was and it was heavily defending its trademark. Because when you patent things; shape, angles, colors, you can be very accurate on what makes something yours when you patent it. But I know he's not doing this, because he did a video of where he bought and rated bootleg merch and IIRC, made no comment about working to get that shit taken down. If he was larger than he is and had the time, money, and reason to defend his shit, then okay, use the Pantone shit to make your patented things.

ah so the opposite end of the pole if one end was outright bootlicking everything the EU does

yeah true, on one hand glassdoor sperging, on the other hand most of the LMG fuckers are what they are

He seems smart enough to realise that bootleg merchandise is still advertising his brand. Also, I bet it would kind of rock that if someone designed (although not very well) blankets and clothing with your face on it.

There is no hope for Linus' audience. None.
 
Do they really need that device? It's a tech channel on Youtube, they job is to "review" the latest overpriced monitor, CPU or GPU sponsored by the same manufacturer.

These weird "I love Anthony from LTT" comments on reddit are so common that I'm beginning to wonder whether there's some shilling going on.
Is it just some weird patronizing thing they do out of pity because he's a freakshow?
It's definitely wanting to adopt the ugly, old dog so you look like a good person. Same thing that drives people to tell hideous troons "OMG girl you sure are girlin' it today, what a beautiful girl you are, girl!"
Anthony is knowledgeable enough, but he's not really an endless wellspring of personality, there's no reason to fall over yourself for him.
