at 5:39, you can Linus drop a $450+ drive on to the ground. And everyone shits on him for it.

That's kind of their running gag these days. I don't know what to call it but it seems like their "oops!" as it applies to tech-thottery.

 

[Pissmaster]

Millions. People want to see how the actual shit works. Nuts & bolts analysis is the only way to peek under the marketing skirt.

True, but the kind of people that do aren't usually the type to naturally comment on every single video and share on Facebook or whatever social media shit is necessary to feed The Almighty Algorithm™, so channels like those never get a lot of growth, while Linus' soy face launches into the stratosphere.

hell I made a thread about it here because YouTube sure doesn't recommend technical channels, even when half my recent views are from them

Here's an archive btw if it gets taken down (crosspost from the Dream thread)

As expected, they made a full video about it and it's sponsored by a drive company:

I know, but I've never seen Jake ask Linus "What the actual fuck is wrong with you." I know they like to be mean to each other, but still.

They've used that same joke for fucking years. Linus is an absolute sped and drops everything. It's just awful at this point.

It's about as unfunny with Gamers Nexus' Reddit-tier jokes about Gigabyte PSUs, NZXT's risers, and Intel's "back to you Steve" shit. You can just smell the soy dripping from Steve it's so insufferable.

I don't care for Linus' videos, never have. Always came across as shilly, his humor isn't my cup of tea, and the eventual race and woman virtue signaling shoehorning was it for me.

I'm most annoyed by how every other tech Youtuber has to name drop Linus when he's shit compared to Gamers Nexus, Hardware Unboxed, etc...

When does Linus race virtue signal? In a recent video for a "prison phone", they actually made b-roll footage of preschool age white children arresting a black child. No response from LTT when comments pointed out the racism. Never seen any black employees at LTT...

Check the OP, he posted about the benefits of racemixing on the LTT twitter.

 

[Tims]

Linus about to be out here scalping used 1080s once the lab fails 100% & he is 13 Million CAD in debt

 

[ZipDisk]

Why is everything ten thousand dollars with linus? I keep getting videos where he spends or loses 10K. His wife needs to write him up and suspend him for this shit.

Lol, calm down

Linus already has the midwit demographic, he should have tried to capture the mouth breathers as opposed to serious tech people. Then again who knows, maybe he's just making up the lab to sound important and it's actually a sex dungeon or something with one oscilloscope sitting in the corner somewhere.

He'd be better served if he did a the sort of thing you see at any kid's science museum. He could be the new Bill Nye!

at 5:39, you can Linus drop a $450+ drive on to the ground. And everyone shits on him for it.

He strikes me as the type of person to constantly talk about how much money he makes. "Haha well I can afford it!" Just the way he treats his employees and the gear he's lucky to have.

When does Linus race virtue signal?

Well, his marriage for starters.

I've had more attractive white women interested in me and I'm neither a millionaire nor vaguely good-looking. He went with an ugly yellow because he's a closet homosexual and wanted to look good for his Asian tech company sponsors.

It's good for the video title? Good bait for children or manchildren.

There's a sizable chunk of the YouTube viewership that derives some sort of perverse enjoyment out of white dudes blowing money on dumb shit. Probably the same people that still believe Hoovie's Garage is the dumbest automotive channel in all of YouTube, despite the fact Hoovie obviously has a lot more business acumen than he lets on.

 

[Flaming Dumpster]

Noticed this in the Dream video (13:09)

Strange, there's nobody called Wendell at LMG so I'm assuming it's something Wendell at Level1Techs leftover on their UniFi controller as he has worked with these guys in the past. I'll laugh if it turns out later that they're contracting people like Wendell as consultants because they're too retarded to configure a L2 managed switch with a web GUI.

Big ZFS arrays is right up Wendell's alley too, so he might've even made some of the technical decisions regarding RAID-Z levels, vdevs and the hardware purchasing if he was quietly consulted for this.

But... but he says he's the dumbest! Am I supposed to believe he would just lie about that?

You internet daddy doesn't care about you. It's ok to stop felating Steve Burke's cock.

Well, his marriage for starters.

I've had more attractive white women interested in me and I'm neither a millionaire nor vaguely good-looking. He went with an ugly yellow because he's a closet homosexual and wanted to look good for his Asian tech company sponsors.

True but I haven't really seen him promoting it as much as he acts like a seething faggot over the piracy incident. I think Yvonne is one who manages the employees and business so at least she's a useful rat wife.

It's interesting that out of all the attractive asian women out there, who retain their youthful appearance until menopause, he chose the one woman who got hit with the ugly stick early. I don't blame her for avoiding the camera. She did show up in the recent videos with their pet, the fat faggot Jake, though. Has anyone doxed the new house btw?

At this point, I think the LTT crew know they're all secondhand "professionals" with expensive toys, so the lab is just a way to profit without hiring actual entertaining talent. It's basically the Rich Rebuilds method of maintaining interest becsuse their bread and butter is not paying the bills. Doing expensive, quirky shit unprofessionally and for whatever reason attract viewership by demonstrating how they antagonize their spouses. "oh no muh wife is mad again haha"

Do you always get unreasonably mad whenever a YouTuber tries to do a funny?

 

[Just Some Other Guy]

Uh oh, someone went after GN.

Tbh never saw the appeal. A channel that sounds just technical enough to reel in the midwits is gonna be popular though.

"sounds just technical enough"
That implies that GN isn't technical and is only pretending to be technical. Do you recommend any channels that are actually "technical"? Because AFAIK Gamers Nexus is the most in-depth hardware review channel around right beside Hardware Unboxed.

I know most of the time when shit hits the fan networking / linux wise they call him, they did it when they were setting up that 4 gamers one computer thing a while back, they also call him whenever they get something even slightly advanced technical wise which once again proves my arguement that these are just on screen grifters with only a very basic level of actually useable IT knowledge.
