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.
Maybe I'm schizoing out, but it's funny the minute greasy hair GN "humbles" LTT, some she/they bipolar wreck comes out with "muh abuse" allegations, wouldn't be surprised if that one lard gender blob also claims "abuse". As for GN He's a faggot like all other big tech channels, only a matter of time till he implodes

Nope - the """girlfriend"" is a MtF too. The difference is that he had transitioned before Anthony publicized they were together so it didn't come out until after the trooning saga where people dug deeper

"It's an amicable goodbye but it's still goodbye," which, with all the talk of how controlling and micro-manage-y he seems to be,
Defending LTT - reading between the lines is because Nicky V wasn't passionate about LTT and computers, but he was doing it as a job. It would make zero sense for a previous employee to show up at work.
It may be possible to bring in past employees for things like LTX, etc.. however I guess they cannot be controlled so they don't even try (or they tried but no one wants to)

The question is does she actually know tax law or did they get external people that looked into the tax implications.
I think they do have actual accountants - how competent they are is another matter.

Madison had posted about her stuff prior to this drama, for what it's worth. It just didn't get any traction.
The glassdoor review got a lot of attention, is that since it was anonymous nothing could come from it.
Similar to the plaque thing - it is an anoymous accusation. Some people will believe it, some others won't.

Much like how it woulda received perverted messages isn't actually news so much as validating something obvious.
I am ambivalent on this. On one side getting dick pics is expected in any social media job, and it should be actually discussed whether the person is ready for it. On the other, no one would have expected that running LTT social media would mean also running an OF account. However that is when you actually put your foot down and say "No". However I guess she didn't want to be a SWERF, so she couldn't articulate her objections against working on an OF account

Awkward nerdy guys do not understand social etiquette and the chances of them saying/doing something stupid exponentially increases when you introduce women into the workplace.
Add nerd guys who never worked a "real job" so don't know how to behave themselves in a corporate environment. Add girls who work in a YT tech channel so they are definitely "not like the other girls" and can handle the dick jokes for sure... then skip ahead a few weeks or months and the girls cannot stand the dick jokes anymore and the guys cannot read the room and get the message before it escalates to "what do you mean you think is sexual harassment to be hugged? You laughed about it!"
 
They sent a fucking 3090ti with the copper block to use.

So there's literally no excuse for them to have shoved it on a 4080 when they LITERALLY sent the card it was meant to go on with it.

Oh, and this:


PROBABLY bullshit scalper prices, but 3090tis are fucking EXPENSIVE.

And yes, Linus stole their GPU, too.
At a certain point we stop considering incompetence and start considering malice
 
Conflicting reports saying the apology was demonetized. I just checked and get this

Reddit is posting that they are getting this result though

The video reportedly went private for a few minutes so maybe they removed ads.

Ok confirmed:

LOL, LMAO.

Did this guy include the "deep state" and "illuminati conspiracy" comment at the end in response to my post about my schizo buddy's linus freemason theory?

Regardless, unprofessional and really takes away from the decent job he did to look like a serious corporate head.

The video proves to me that they still don't get it. "Silly jokes" on serious content need to go. Stupid store shilling presented as jokes needs to go. You spent untold millions on a "lab" with millions more in the pipeline. Your technical content needs to be serious. Sure have your gay and retarded linus bumblefuck videos for your 9-year-old audience, but no one will take you seriously in the face of Steve, HUB, HWBusters and all the other small-time techtubers.
 
If I was a betting man I'd say that outside of a drop in views/sub/revenue in the short term and this whole thing mostly blows over. The problems that GN put a spotlight on are massive but aren't exactly company destroying, the most damming thing they outlined is calling LTT's relationship with tech corporation/individuals but it's not like GN actually accused them of anything. In fact I'd argue that GN breezed by that pretty fast, probably because there isn't hard proof of anything in particular and that kind of accusation needs real hard evidence.

For a reviewer trust is the most important thing, if you can't be trusted to give correct info then you have no purpose and no one will watch anything you put out. The thing about trust is that it takes years of hard work to earn but is broken in minutes, as we can all see. Contrary to popular believe you can earn that trust back for the most part but that isn't always a grantee. It all depends on how you lost it in the first place, it might sound crazy but incompetence is easier to forgive than corruption. LTT could bounce back but it'll takes far more work to earn it's trust back than it did earning it in the first place.

I'd take a wait and see approach to whether any of the promises made in that "apology" video come to fruition. It's not like LTT couldn't do any of these things but it requires them to stop hyper focusing on the YouTube algorithm and the massive amounts of money that come with gaming it that hard. That's a big if but not imposable.

Now I could be wrong. the Madison stuff might all be real or maybe we get proof that LTT is in someone's pocket but if this is it then don't expect to be dancing on LTT's grave anytime soon.
It's all been a lot of fun (and isn't over yet) but yeah, unless something happens over taxes people will forget and move on. The "review" incompetence is nothing new, so I don't see why the soys will remember very much of it being called out.
 
Who cares about the monetization of the video? They managed to drop a LTTstore.com in the apology

I cannot imagine what it must be like to have bought anything from that site, but I would probably be pissed

I'm more inclined to believe her in this instance since I do believe there isn't much reason to lie about something like this.
"But why would someone lie on the internet?!?"

No seriously: Some of her complaints include "getting harsh feedback" (a common thing women whine about when they don't get special treatment, aka benevolent sexism) and that she was expected to do her work properly and on time. She has plenty of reasons to lie.

If any call out LTT's relationships with tech companies, then they're all hypocrites, probably even GN who is the gold standard today. Techtubers have become a really scummy business based on purposeful deception.
 
I wondered if they would be stupid enough to try to monetize the apology video, the stupid store joke (which totally never get old..... never........ ever........ gets old....) is bad enough.

Kek, yea that sounds like it'd suck. But its also not exclusive to onlyfans. You really, really, really shouldn't be a social media manager if you have thin skin. Just because you use the shit all the time, doesn't mean you know how to run it - its the same fundamental misunderstanding that leads people to think younger generations are more tech savvy, "because they always use it" and so would make great IT or Programmers. Or thinking that someone who really loves to watch movies would make a good actor or director.

Engagement with something as a consumer has incredibly little bearing on their ability to engage with it as a professional.
There's really no saving you if you don't see anything wrong hiring someone to help manage your social media for your tech enthusiast channel and then sending her, against her protest, to run a "joke" OnlyFans account where people are sending dick pics and messages about how they want to fuck her.

That is not even remotely appropriate.

I never said I thought it was right. My point is that any social media account is going to get that shit, constantly, on any platform. I guarantee you there's degenerates sending dick pics to the Wendys twitter account asking if she wants this meat between her buns. Its the internet, its how it works. And if you suffer actual harm from that, you don't have the skin and attitude to run these in the first place.

What Linus did wrong was succumb to social pressure and hired this bitch in the first place, only to completely disregard and abuse her and her input every step of the way. Truly a set up to fucking fail. The onlyfans was just the cherry on the shit souffle.
