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

Has anyone found where his new house is? People here have found details on people with way less information
 
For all the shipping and quality chinesium issues:

The guy has pretty much treated his audience and increasingly his staff like they're toys for him to play with in his Anno game. Getting shipments in has remained shit for the past 20 months, who the fuck thought it would be better when there's no proof of it, it's just people not bitching as much? They have to be basing their stuff just on how it relates to computer equipment, oh gee if there's GPUs in stock that means everything else is now.

I'd really like to see what the price is per shirt from Chyna compared to made in Canada/America or even South America, and how after all the bullshit of shipping/quality, is it really that much of a difference?

I was reading about the backpack drama on his twitter and found this:

Aparently the reason that he doesn't ship anywhere else besides Canada is because he has to supervise everything. The guy really sure is a control freak which explains a lot of shit decisions that he takes

@batigol seems to me they keep an eye on it, but they sure got poor eye-sight

They're also having another mini PR disaster on Reddit, this time relating to bad quality hems on their (typically USD$20) t-shirts.

I mean, what's the big deal. TRUST ME BRO. In all seriousness, I know a backlog is different from a warranty issue.

And, specifically, if my boss #hashtagged me on social media to look into an issue, I would not be working there that long. Internal messaging only through Slack, Teams, or email. What kind of unprofessional, Hillbilly shit is that?

IIRC most of their shit is made in China or Taiwan but is shipped to Canada and then the country because Linus is a control freak

I wonder if the stock they used for the popup shop came by air or something. Might explain this fuckup with the estimation.

Another thought: how many bags can they warehouse before they run out of space? If I were Linus, I'd start thinking about where to put the inevitable excess inventory while they pray for the hype to clean out the rest.

Here are the updated inventory graphs:

That’s exactly what they did.

Also shipping issues shows how much they pay attention to what is happening in China, particularly Shanghai with all the lockdowns due to the “zero covid” policy of the infallible big Pooh bear.

Go away peasants, and enjoy your $5000 intel makeover while I spend 10-20x as much on mine!

I think his thunderbolt cables cost nearly as much as some of those $5000 intel videos.

I think the bigger issue with that video, the overpriced RGB strips and the stupid amount of work he forced his man slaves to do to stick them to the back of a few shelving units. Put it in perspective of it is just background lighting for his streaming. That nobody who watches Linus stream(Who the fuck even does?) will even notice. He could have got a chinkium special RGB strip off amazon for $10 and have the same effect. Fancy phone app controls for RGB are in bargain bin RGB strips now.

He's trying to seem hip to his audience of children and zoomers. Same reason he still says "nice" whenever he sees 69, hes a manchild hitting middle-age and he is trying to stay hip top the times.

Honest question, do people like this get the value out of a gaming setup of that magnitude?

I mean, he's working a full time job, probably more than a 9-5 job, has 2 children he raises and his wife is not a stay-at-home mom but working, too. The errands in such a mansion are quite time consuming.

So I suspect that setup will collect dust like most of his gaming stuff in his old house.

You don't think he has housekeepers and nannies?

This also isn't the only "gaming" setup he has of this magnitude. its not like he pays for any of this stuff; its all stuff sponsors have given him.

Even if you are streaming to idiots, putting way too much effort in to things people can't even see is silly. You could get something that match's Linus's set up like for like for a quarter of the price

Thats the thing, he didn't pay out of pocket for anything in that video.

You could get something that match's Linus's set up like for like for a quarter of the price. The problem with video's such as these, is that it has fallen in to the trap of expensive = best. The fundamental questions being does a $159 RGB strip, look and work better than a $50 RGB strip? Is what i am doing with it worth the $159? These video's are meant to be ads for the stuff really. The lifestyle attitude that he presents it as, is all window dressing.
