Linus has shown himself to be completely ignorant as to how economics

This is my biggest problem with Linus. The guy is a complete ignorant and doesn't accept to be wrong.

While I don't expect him or anyone else to know economics, he is so ignorant that he doesn't want to learn and own his mistakes, like in the Linux Challenge where he couldn't save a file and blamed on Linux instead of him being stupid

That is actually pretty good, I didn't click on many of their vids because neither the thumbnail nor the title was able to tell me what the video is about.

Thinking cynically about it, i would bet it it was someone who failed their work trial probation. Linus uses this system, he has mentioned it in many videos. They blur the faces of anyone who is on it, who helps out the video's. Glassdoor reviews are often just mad on the internet neg rates. My hope is that it was a troon or a hole who spazzed the fuck out at the middle guys who dress the sets and they had to be escorted out.

Probation Employee: *says something while the camera is rolling*
Linus: What was that you little shit? You're on probation!

Lol, Linus said "Reading comments is a big part of my job":

Those people that religiously read comments are the first to go lolcow. Youtube comments are so low effort garbage and so many saying the same thing.

Can you imagine, the "CEO" of a multi-million $ company spending a lot of his time reading comments? He doesn't even have PR people doing that for him?

Jake is much worse for being an arrogant smartass imo, I can at least handle Linus' bullshit. Jake also always tries to do things the jankiest way possible with his reasoning always being "this is linus tech tips/linus media group"

LTT has very much been living solely off of brand recognition, he and mkbhd have become the face of tech youtube and have made millions already, thats why he's able to still grow and maintain an audience despite his content in a state of decay and his complete lack of intelligence and integrity.

He crafted his image as a brilliant business guy who is still the same nerdy but nice guy as he was a decade ago when he was working at ncix.

The same can be said for LMG, to the public it seems like the best job to work for with great pay, workplace, and benefits, with a dream boss.

It's explicitly made to be the opposite of the cynical and depressing image of you're average job. Shit hours, shit boss, shit pay, etc.

Speaking of work environment.

Out of curiosity I decided to search up LMG on glassdoor (which should be taken with a grain of salt)

And the reviews weren't exactly positive about the company.

Truly unsurprising,

now I am about to put on my Tinfoil hat on this shit, so TAKE IT WITH A GRAIN OF SALT

but having been in a company that micromanages everything and knowing Yvonne is majorly handling management and finance (not sure how much but Linus did talk about it in a stream)
I feel like Yvonne is the one that convinced linus that "adblock is literally piracy"

cuz i can't think of anyone else that thinks like this other than ppl that literally counts pennies

Linus also talks about his employment contract which mentions that after a year working there u will be allowed to be featured as a host in their videos.
Which I imagine is like a dangling fruit for the employees so that they accept a lower average wage for their role and to have them stay.

I cant recall the stream but Linus did talk about HR shit with Luke.
they were talking about recruitment goofs but it seems to me that they aren't willing to negotiate a higher wage.

 

[batigol]

One of the more amusing things from recent LTT recruitment is when hiring for "The Lab" Linus said something along the lines of saying apply and "try me" when asking for a salary because "You will be surprised what I can afford to pay". Then nothing much was heard until a few months later when he was talking about the difficultly of hiring for "The Lab" because people had too high salary expectations.

As I write this it will probably be a home video today, but I've noticed how Linus cut back on the house stuff, possibly in growing unease from even the LTT fanboys about how it's getting annoying to flex your multi million house. Even with the renovation and moving likely done that's never stopped him from this stuff before.

When you factor in that glassdoor review about low wages with no path for a raise and no bonus structure, that makes the house shit even more of a PR blackeye to anyone not sucking leaf dick.

Wouldn't be suprised if they still have some house videos in the backlog, the fucker mass produces videos like its a car.

Still wouldn't be suprised of the "logistics" guys being tired of doing linus' work.

Wouldnt be suprised if thats why the zoomer girl left lol, wanted a shot at being a main channel co host only to be underwhelmed when she was thrown to the smaller channels like techlinked.

If I’m completely honest, I genuinely didn’t mind his house content, especially the home theatre shit as im planning to do a very similar setup soon

 

[aske]

these guys are clowns.

Very valuable for learning all the things not to do!

I honestly have no idea what's taking them so long to develop "The Lab"
Gamers Nexus is doing a great job on many of the PC analytical shit (mostly on cooling, specs and power consumption)
and so far they just got a sound engineer to help develop it (prob the audio department)
my best guess on some of the others are screens and pc accessories (keyboards, mice etc)

I don't know the scope of The Lab, but it sounds like they need an experienced, engineering generalist to help build and hire.

TLDW:
-the sneaks damaged a stair bannister with their cameras
-they gouged the laminate floor in the master bedroom because they dragged the bedframe
-they painted an accent wall in the master bedroom but were faggotly wearing pajamas the whole time which got soaked in paint and while hiding they dragged teal paint across the house and carpet, to the point Linus tweeted nasty and sent the painters an angry e-mail because he didn't know it was his own people.

I've just started looking at timestamps in the WAN show before listening to it and this was mentioned, timestamped below. Linus says they did thousands of dollars of damage. He seems to have talked to everyone afterwards that this type of content is over. It's mentioned that Linus doesn't really yell when angry, he gets quiet, but there was a Scrapyard Wars video at Luke's house where he truly angry yells and Luke says that was the worst he's seen him, don't know which video that is.

I have to think at this point Dennis is deliberately doing as much damage as he can because white man won't fire yellow man.
