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

Sometimes it's literally just genes. It's a fact that given access to low amounts of addictive material, medium amounts, and extreme amounts, think chewing coca leaves, snorting cocaine, and smoking crack, most people if given a choice will settle on the moderate option, like drinking beer, rather than going fully insane and drinking Everclear straight.

Some people are just particularly susceptible to addiction. Consider how American Indians were completely devastated by alcohol, and Irish are correctly viewed as extremely likely to be drunks.

I doubt this gooner was somehow innocently turned into a chomo by his exposure to extreme porn, but he was probably predisposed to it somehow.

You can be addicted to porn, and not touch that material.
I don't believe in 'porn escalation' - like you start with National Geographic native teats, and end in gay-shit-snuff films.
That topic was an amusing side-plot in South Park, but I have never seen any RL merit.
The fact he sought and stored THAT material, shows something else at work. Maybe behavioral, trauma based. Abusers typically were abused.
I have never seen any evidence of a 'Child Abuse gene'. But who-the-fuck knows. I doubt any MD or Psych knows - and as we have seen, they just fucking make shit up.
Personally, I think it's behavioral.

Like furries and troons - some mental illnesses are contagious.

That literally happens to everyone though? I don't know a single person that started by looking up anal videos and triple facials it was usually pictures of tits and Girls Gone Wild was exciting. There's definitely a line that it stops unless you're inherently a weirdo pedophile because you don't one day find yourself wanting to see beheaded animals get fucked in the stomach but it absolutely happens to a non-tranny degree. Same with starting to think real women look disgusting after seeing women who take care of their bodies

 

[mandatorylurk]

It's starting to feel like Linus has some weird short man complex where he gets off on making people do things at his house. All those videos about his gay home theater, having his "logistics" team do all the work, only to have them take it all down and only put in things from Wish.com because of some Chynese LED light manufacturer sponsoring the video.

At this point I'd love to see the logistics team just knock everything over in the warehouse, make the racks fall over dominoes style.

I think 'porn escalation' happened in old fucks - due to the gradual corporate and legal development on the internet.
When companies realized that they can charge for porn, and not get arrested, pages with provocative outfits became full videos like Anal Explosion #12 WITH MIDGETS.
Old fucks followed the 'escalation' because that's what historically occurred. I didn't escalate from a horse before I drove. The car market was developed, so I bought a car.

If a broccoli top these days wants to see zoo, he/she just goes straight for zoo. They don't start at Girls Gone Wild.

You get that he makes these videos for the sponsorships right? Do you think he doesn't pay his employees just because they work at his house? What do you expect him to do, hire some mexicans from home depot to setup all the cheap crap they bought?

Last set of home renovation videos he did have them come in over the weekend to do this shit. I don't know if he paid overtime (knowing him I expect he tried very hard to weasel out of it), but either way it's absolutely unacceptable behaviour.

 

[TheRaptorJesus]

Like he's gonna be caught dead using wish shit. That stuff was ripped out and gifted to employees after the video.

At this point, with his finances and organizational size, I'd unironically expect him to have a 'set' house (Or hell, even just a straight up cheap house they bought, if Vancouver real estate wasn't insane) for use in these kinds of projects rather than fucking with his own home. You don't see Google Executives demanding their engineering teams come in and set up google nest hardware across their personal properties.

The problem is very much being using production staff from the business as renovation labor in your home, not the fact your asking production staff to help make videos.

The issue, as discussed before, is that his "logistics" team wasn't hired as home improvement craftsmen. Their job description is to do all the stuff in the warehouse, keep order there, manage orders for the merchandise etc. It's one thing when someone at work asks for help moving, when you're a company that is a YouTube channel you might feel required to. But usually it's a one and done job. But the frequency with which they work on Linus' mansion means that either it has to be part of their job description or they're skirting labor laws.

Usually you'd hire some contractors, who do this stuff professionally, optimally locally, to do things like this. But they don't like you exploiting them for YouTube. And in some of the previous videos Linus and or Yvonne let it slip through that they have problems with local contractors.

As far as anyone can tell, porn escalation was invented from cloth wholesale by the NoFap cult to scare people into not having a wank and/or into flagellating themselves whenever they saw naked jubblies on display

More specifically, it was invented by a bloke and a bird named Gary Wilson and Marnia Robinson, respectively, who more or less pulled everything they wrote out of their arse

Was this recently, or in much older vids? Because I could see them involving a lotta contractors in the lab building setup, but I have no idea what they coulda done to fuck with them. If there were pay disputes it'd probably have leaked, so perhaps it was just stupid/unrealistic asks. I could easily see Linus demanding a contractor do something stupid that'll break, be told its stupid and it'll break, and insist on doing it anyway. Only to either demand the contractor fix the break for free, or refusing to work with the 'bad' contractor going forward.

Big ol' "X" to doubt on that one.

Maybe these people codified it in the way most spergs on the internet refer to it as these days, but the phenomenon is much, much older than NoFap. Spend any amount of time watching furries, for example, and you'll find that they go down the kink slippery slope like it's a rite of passage. Hell, the Zoosadist clique had multiple scumbags proudly talking about how they pushed other people towards more and more extreme kinks. And on the sociopath angle most of these freaks start out small and then go up and up as they find out how much they can get away with.

I suppose there may be something to porn escalation not being as prevalent among isolated individuals. But this is the internet: anyone with a kink will find a community of like-minded kinksters that "validate" each other into masturbating to more and more extreme content. That's pretty easily verifiable.

If something doesn't turn you on, it doesn't and it never will. Even deviants have a limit on what they will not do and don't get off on.

The people who are "pushed" into more extreme fetishes were just deviants in dormancy. They seek it out.

i wonder what's behind this post

 

[Nabeshin]

The people who are "pushed" into more extreme fetishe

Getting a bit out of the thread but this is a bit "controversial" in the porn research field. Mainly what I know are from the book "Getting Off: Pornography and the End of Masculinity", I began to read it because of someone who recommended it and I ended up liking it.

But the gist of the "controversial" topic is the following: Sex and masturbation increases your dopamine and more, so basically it makes you happier, less stressed and more. With porn, it can make that when wanking, you can watch porn that it would make you feel disgusted without it and because you're intoxicated with happiness, you can ended up conditioning your mind to like more kinky stuff until a point that you're become deranged and controlling it, even kmowiling, is hard because the dopamine bomb.

 

[Haunted Dishwasher]

Linus new video tries to recapture old content and merely off the start & title the tech dumbfuck incorrectly states that Taobao is china-only version of Wish.

For those that aren't too oriented with the subject: Taobao is kind of localized ecommerce site where TONS of different exporters get their products from; often much cheaper than Aliexpress or other resellers sites because you're having one middleman less in the project. It is Chinese-only but you can get stuff from there yourself, proven that you are capable of using Google Lens to translate security prompts or proficient in searching for something that isn't absolutely mangled by machine translation (infamous 'fuck the duck until exploded' fits within this realm).

It's insanely great for getting electronics (i.e. for building circuits or FPGAs), tools or specific metal hardware (screws, pins, springs etc) as it is much cheaper than going through Aliexpress/Amazon in most cases - about 20-25% of cost. Downsides include non existent support, inability to return items and long waiting times, with at least 15-20 days.

His statement of 'Chinese Wish' is as accurate as calling LTT being someone competent who tackles the subject in a professional manner (and not a complete hack going for the misconception for the sweet interaction going off in the comments as people point this bullshit out). You can get dogshit PC off Amazon and eBay as well. This should be common sense.

 

[mandatorylurk]

Showing how far Tranthony has fallen, Linus didn't do a Black Friday deal search with him this year, instead challenging some employees to some video games in an attempt to score a discount on their black friday tech purchases while having big LTT store discounts. Most of these people are new faces or ones who never had prominent screentime before and are largely nice/inoffensive. It must suck for the real woman Emily at the company to have her name stolen by Anthony.

Listened to this all the way through seeing if he would say something about his former employee Scott, nothing is said and I don't see anything being brought up in the chat. Nothing worth noting except at 2:01:00 Dan gets scared by a mouse and there are mice in the warehouse due to people leaving food out, and Linus spent 10 minutes trying to catch it so he could put it in the mouse habitat in his home that his cats can watch them from (it is mentioned the cats did get into the structure before a lid arrived and they ate the mice).

This entire sequence opens so many different questions. Why haven't they brought in pest control? Mice in a warehouse of fabric products is asking you to mail someone eaten, nested in hoodies. Even if you catch the damaged product before it goes out, that's losses because you couldn't control your staff from refraining from the most basic of shit - eat in the break room. Why is he trying to put 'wild' mice into a habitat? You have no idea what they're carrying, and they could disease up the entire thing for the rest of the mice. Why do you even Have a fucking mouse habitat in your house? Is it for your budding psycho of a kid to torment them? Why are you putting mice into an unfinished, unsealed habitat? That's just asking for your entire new fucking mcmansion to get an infestation.

Every one of these questions is just pointing to ridiculous lapses in judgement. Not just one-off retardation, but consistent behaviors of baffling decision making.

It's amazing this lolcow is considered an expert on anything. He can't even keep a mouse alive, plus he deliberately brings in animals to give hantavirus or whatever to his other animals, kids, himself, etc.

1) Gross. WTF kinda laotian po-dunk operation is he running?

2) How far he has fallen. Sponsors every 5 minutes, and a BF special run by Green Man Gaming - notorious shady steam-code reseller.

Spoiler: TMI

I had my CC# stolen TWICE from GMG. Both times the issuing bank traced it to <10min after using it at GMG. Do NOT purchase from these crooks.
