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.
There used to be a community post on the LTT forum that for years was genuinely the only useful comparison of (at the time current) consumer PSUs I've ever found.
I believe the reason it was abandoned was because the maintainers realized how unwieldly maintaining an ordered database for 100s of items, solving this is genuinely hard.
I think they left the forum and settled on their own site: https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/ .
Last update is pretty old, but its not like PSU tech changes quickly.

Why give LTT all the credit because its on their forums.

This was from a few days ago, instead of working on things to sell his team 3D printed a large version of the LTT screwdriver to build a computer. There is a growing disconnect between what Linus thinks the people want (to see him just doing things) and what they really want (overview of new computer and tech stuff).
 
Happy funny weed number for the thread

This was from a few days ago, instead of working on things to sell his team 3D printed a large version of the LTT screwdriver to build a computer.

Iirc, there was a joke made at his roast a few years ago about his face getting permanently stuck in the clickbait :0 face, looking at what has become of him, it kinda has become his fate
(That roast is my favorite videos they put out in the last 7-8 years, although I doubt Linus didn't let some of the employees get away without walking back or outright apologizing off camera)
Perhaps he needs to be brought back down to earth again, and it appears only the people he hires to be his friends and family can really do that, hes been doing this a long time, he definitely has a thick filter for criticism from the Internet
 
  • Agree
Reactions: Ether Being
If LTTLabs was reputable and widely known (at least as much as something like PCPartPicker is) I believe they could add value. But look at their god-awful Labs website PSU article (same one from the video). Tell me this is useful at all. They're TERRIFIED of making any subjective calls as to the product quality, no idea why, that's the point of their existence.
I will take a second to shill for the best PSU reviewer in the business.

Compare LDT "Labs" review and shit video to HW Busters. Detailed writeup with a useful and usable conclusion, with frequently updated list of best PSUs across many categories.

The video:

The writeup:

Just look at the difference in quality between the HWB video and the LDT one.


Conclusion:

HW Busters:
Easy to understand writeup giving key technical pros and cons and more importantly providing some context of the results within the other options on the market and the price point. Lots of graphs and lots of comparisons to competing units with quick explanation of what the values mean.

LDT:
Dumps some factoids with no real context. How does this stack up to others in its category or price class? How important is the 3.3V regulation and what does it mean for my rebbit updoots or girlboss sweet baby gaming experience? How can you say it performs well if GPU transient load can/will fuck it in the ass? Reliable choice, by what metric and via what evidence?

This shit isn't even worth the bandwidth to load it, let alone the cpu cycles to render it on my screen. What a fucking joke.

$13++mil "investment" and we get generic garbage shat out by AI. Fucking incredible.

It's fully likely Madison exaggerated or imagined some shit, but we do know and has been proven she was right about some damning things:
She cut herself because her workload of 4 tweets a day was akin to inhumane back-breaking labor and the "sexual assault" she was victim of was so bad that she thought being told $15 on a notepad was too expensive was the greater crime.

She is not a reliable narrator on anything, she would have been HR chernobyl for any business that made the mistake of hiring her.
LTT incidentally being AIDS for other reasons doesn't change that.
 
Money and sponsors must be tight, LTT will begin shilling shitty VPNs again.

This is from ~1 month ago, Linus talking about why they find the concept of hosting a VPN to be morally reprehensible and directly stating that it would enable pedophiles in their audience to exploit minors, but if they outsource that to PIA they feel that it is fine.
