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

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.
Ask and ya shall receive.

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?
Do you think Anthony's the only grotesque freak in the world?

He isn't, and many of the others are on reddit.
 
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.
The problem is, they're not proficient enough to put out enough tech stuff to keep up their daily video schedule. They talk about a lot of things, especially when doing videos about their storage arrays and shit; they shill the fuck out of hardware no one is gonna be able to afford, but they don't have anything like an in-depth several hour long "Here's how to use/configure X." And I bring this up because while I don't watch his every video, the now ex-editor Taran has some crazy fucking "Here's how I edit" videos that are hours long and goes to great depths about things. If Linus and his team wanted to flex some of their "tech guru" muscle, they'd do something like that; and then they'd rate something like that, but they don't. Linus is like a more successful DSP; he thinks "I'm a successful businessman with my own business," and has to buy the most expensive top of the line, because he has a business, even if he's rarely gonna have a use for it.
 
I think thats they quickest they've ever changed a video title.

Original: Dell’s Proprietary laptop RAM is a GOOD thing. Hear me out.
NOW: I've NEVER Seen a Memory Stick Like THIS - CAMM Explained

It seems their new MO is to just side with corporations.
The first one has a negative connotation - Dell may have reached out and asked them to change it.

This is probably true but there is a very good chance Dell would have to pre-approve titles for videos like this (if its a sponsored video, i dont know if it is as i havent looked so correct me if im wrong here) like they usually would also have to approve the contents of the video or the actual video itself, meaning if this is why it was changed after the fact it means LTT didnt send anything off to them beforehand

Honestly this thread should be in IF instead of off-topic at this point.
True, though before I request a move I'd like to improve on the OP a bit more before it gets moved to IF and I lose the ability to edit it without moderator's approval. At the same time I suck at gathering and consolidating info like this so I'd like to ask for help in improving the OP by adding more info that was discussed in the thread. So if anyone is willing to help let me know so I can make a mass DM or something to collaborate on the OP before changing the title and sending the thread off of to IF.

I could help with the OP.

Its reddit, theyre probably kindred spirits of Anthony
 

His mistakes are:
-him trying to justify the 4080 review without factoring in price but it's your fault because everyone got used to the new GPU prices, and he's not an Nvdia shill guys honest bro believe me bro but his reviews never factor that in otherwise AMD would be given much more respect

-they aren't doing specials right now because their customer support has been swamped since the screwdriver launched and Christmas is coming up. They are hiring more people (for a grand total of 5 or 6) to handle tickets and support. Some of the stuff is more on the customers end (asking for shipping address changes because you won't be there for the holidays), but other stuff is their team printing shipping labels days before the items actually ship, which is just a way to really fuck things up if one misstep happens.

-they're doing an intel ARC 30 day challenge but when talking about it you see he's begging Intel to fix some things because he doesn't want to give it a bad review so far (ie less intel extreme upgrade money and sponsors)

-he's still acting like Twitter is falling apart because all the dangerhairs are being fired, and thinks the stupidity of that Twitter Android developer trying to dunk on Musk is actually good for a company and not a sign the guy did nothing for six years to make the app better. Then it becomes this stupid inability to recognize at will work being a worthwhile thing because he's a fucking leaf.

-Linus then leaves and pedostache tryhard Riley shows up and they talk about FTX but with the most canadian weak ass gloves available, ignoring a lot of things except to nudge the conversation to be more regulation (Luke got scammed in crypto years back apparently)
 
"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.
inb4 he trademarks ltt orange.

Devils advocate: Intel fixing issues with the ARC is good for literally everyone because it gives another option in the gpu race especially if another retarded crypto bubble forms and people looking at buying new parts suddenly have way less options

That is actually the most normal opinion to have about Arc, the issue is that Intel is a massive fucking corporation and it has more than enough money to fix the driver issue, but instead Linus acts like Intel Arc is some garage project that needs early funding by shilling Arc and telling his viewers to buy it anyways, plus he once again shows he will never make a negative review about a product from a brand he gets free shit from.
 
Today we watch a VHS on an old plasma and complain how bad it is. It is also "problematic" that the nigger in the movie is "hard to see". That tape is clearly fucked.

Could they not get a good CRT TV?

Skimming some more and in the DVD section linus once again complains that the nigger shows up poorly. I think that old plasma is busted. I know it may be nostalgia and mistaken memory, but shit didn't look that bad. Got to the bluray section and its clearly the TV.

Yeah, tapes look fine when they haven't been replayed very much, and are using good quality players with good connections. Lots of HDTVs have terrible analog-to-digital converters that make things look a lot worse than they should.
