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

Why also vegan pleather. Leather is better and is actually luxurious and more environmentally friendly than whatever plastic polymer abomination they use.

Fake leather can be more durable, and doesn’t require oiling. The last time they made a lot of noise they ended up using mushroom skin leather, so I suspect that’s what’ll happen this time too. Mushroom skin has no benefits over real leather apart from cost, which tracks with a premium product. Got to max those margins.

You need to be very picky about leather products because you want them to last and wear beautifully, and certainly Linus don’t understand this. Absolutely you want them to be genuine leather, plastic doesn’t wear right and mushroom/cork is too fragile. I have a fifteen year old leather clutch that’s more beautiful now than it was new because it has worn with well use. Will this backpack do the same? I doubt it.

It shocks me that people would trust a tech youtuber with making leather products. That’s more the field of fashion YouTubers, and I’d be more trusting of that since at least I’d know they also know the basics of decent bags. Why isn’t Linus making mouse mats and keyboards or something else I’d actually trust him to understand?

36:20 is talk about LinkedIn trying to essentially be Google Plus with verification and Linus talking about how "everyone uses LI now as their main social media to brand themselves" and some talk about his old LI profile. I've noticed more and more people have given up the LI hustle because they realize it's fake and gay, everyone realizes the companies don't care and will still find ways to fire you and show no loyalty no matter how much fag stuff you endorse on the site to show you're "part of the team"

Never have used LinkedIn in my life. If an employer wants to see my online history, first it's hidden by user names, so they're gonna have a tough time, and second, what's wrong with submitting a resume? They don't need to know your shit posting.

A hiring manager once told me that he considered it a red flag if no relevant results appeared when Googling a prospective employee's name. Don't present a false image of yourself and you'll save yourself a lot of headaches, as maintaining a squeaky clean Internet presence to satisfy assholes who wish to pry into your personal life is not worth it.

I mean I'm a welder man. Every job I've had has never brought it up. Never liked Facebook or Twitter even as a kid, my opsec has always been kind of high.

But why is it white? This looks like nothing. With all that RGB shit you couldn't go for a green color scheme?

Yes why indeed? This is a Borg cube:

Grey and green my guy. Paint that sucker grey and give it green led's. How is color coordination this hard?

Wonder how he managed with generic names with approximately 50,000 results.

Did once get asked about social media presence by Human Incompetence, sorry, Resources. I believe my response was, to quote, "I'd rather pull out my finger nails with pliers." The reaction was quite funny, it was like I had declared "The sky tastes of the colour fruitcake". Incomprehension and confusion.

It's probably based on the one from Kurtzman Trek except in white for some reason.

I also remember them talking about mushroom skin "leather", but I cannot remember what product it was for? Could it be the same backpack he talked about again?

They waste so much fucking time on products that probably barely end up with zero actual profit.

The hiring manger is a red flag, fuck him. You do not need to have an online presence for professional reasons and certainly don't need "professional" social media.

Just from personal experience, LinkedIn is more for the white collared/lap top caste as opposed to the actual trades. It has its place for blue collar, but not for the workers, for a business owner wanting to advertise; "Just finished the frame for a warehouse, look at how clean our welds are." "Just rewired an apartment complex that spans x-acres with y-buildings, and z-units; 2 days early, and the inspector signed off on everything." Unless you're in the air conditioned office, no one is really gonna care about it; especially because trade skills get plenty of advertisement via word of mouth. You need a plumber, electrician, welder, whatever; just ask around, someone will know one or know who to ask. No one's gonna go up to a friend and be like; "Hey man, do you know any good HR representatives?"

I WANT Linus to get into the trans debate! After his tweets on racial mixing, I am ready to "LTT says trans rights" campaign, with Dylan Mulvaney getting a server or ROG build.
C'mon Linus, give us a PC build for Pride day, or one of the many trans day of something, with the shit new LGBTQPIA2P+ flag! Do it Linus!

Hmph how about his own damn tranny sister? Might get her off disability if the video gets enough clicks and he actually pays to support her.

I hire. Sometimes it is easier to check a person's LinkedIn over reading their resume (for a quick glance). No real benefit to me other than that.

From what I understand though if you are applying for a greencard in burgerland it is advantageous for them tonsee some social media presence so some opt to use LinkedIn for that purpose rather than twitter or facebook (I.e. more professional look).

Why is Linus reviewing shoes now?

 

[quaawaa]

Why is Linus reviewing shoes now?

He's just cross-promoting fellow YouTubers' merch:

Marques made a video shilling LTT's screwdriver:

So this is just Linus repaying the favor.

 

[OliverKlozoff]

Why is Linus reviewing shoes now?

What a lazy clickbait title. It's "Dear MKBHD" before they change it. What info am I supposed to get from that? That the video isn't meant for me, but MKBHD I guess.

 

[Spiral Architect]

So this is just Linus repaying the favor.

Not really. Linus paid for his promotion and got a few segments, meanwhile nigga got a whole video for free. Should've renamed his channel to linus cuck tips.

Kind of a nothing week. Linus still has a hate boner for Twitter, they released a pet hoodie for cats and doges, a lot of questions to try and clean up the backlog.

-26:50 is talk about the Nintendo Switch modder being released from prison but still owing lots of money, they never talk about the other stuff he was accused of doing on top of the modified Switches like phishing and other scams.
-1:22:40 Linus lost his blue check, acts like he doesn't care but he does because of the impersonation thing, well fuck Linus, sell one of your swag computers and you're covered even with the business price being higher. BuT muH FreeZE PEach he shouts. The response he says they'll do is just to use the Youtube Community posts more.
-1:38:15 talk about your boss being your landlord, Linus mentions Luke was supposed to mow the yard at their house office but didn't which led to complaints from the HOA
-2:07:00 Linus shows his old farm home he lived on, if you want to verify it against other things to verify his tranny sibling this would be the timestamp since he uses google maps.
-2:55:40 the AMD challenge will basically be worthless because Luke has been doing it consistently and having driver updates which change his experience, while Linus and Jake just started playing games and testing. LTT quality as always.
-3:01:15 Linus calls Yvonne about a question he received about when he ever did a "I'M LINUS SEBASTIAN!" moment and she brings up that he made sure it was apparent he owns 51% of the company because they don't have a prenup. It also leads into why LTT doesn't pay for alcohol for lunches and dinners (save 2 drinks at the Christmas party). I actually agree with him on this regarding entertainment budgets but then it becomes a realization his staff are whiny faggots who now bitch about being given free snacks at the office. There's almost a sense he realizes he's going to be forced with a LTT union thrust upon him by spoiled LTT employees and it will be completely his fault for trying to be liked by everyone.
-3:22:30 Linus is not allowed to watch the LTT Employees talk about working at LTT video (a lie), and it's brought up about implementing things they said in the video. Things are being worked on, no specifics (park in the streets, plebs).
-3:26:10 a question about the margins of his products is brought up, immediately shuts it down because private company
