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

[mandatorylurk]

If Floatplane is losing subs (which they got a boost to out of pity for LTT being hacked months ago), that must piss off Luke, and he's already been making points since he's been fully pushed back into LTT about how frustrating some of the processes are in the company. We can only hope for a Wan Show freakout and punches are thrown.

 

[PointOfNoReturnPoint]

So this means that LTT will be deplatformed, Linus's family terrorized, his bank account closed, no payment processor will work with him going forward, and his site will be blocked by tier 1 internet providers, right? No? Why? That would give LTT an actual higher body count than KF has, and all that has happened to KF & Null. What? I'm a Nazi just for asking that question?

You can add the actual body counts together from other sites and activities that are now higher than we are even suspected of.

 

[oh no its pipkun]

Cancel Your Floatplane Subscription. Don't Buy Their Merch.​

This must be hurting Linus so much!

I disagree with Steve on one thing
The framework thing is overblown - it does not prove being biased.

"1000 people unsubbed? thats nothing to a millions of subs channel heh" -some ltt fag

I want to see linus go out like rackets

 

[CYKA RUSH B]

Agreed Linus is a mid jew who just used jewish nepotism to get connections

My bro thinks Linus may be initiated. According to him part of these fags' deal with lucifer is that they need to disclose what they're doing, and if they do and no one stops them, that's on their victims not on them.

He provided two proofs

Exhibit A: Since when does Imbecile Linus build custom PCs for random customers?


Exhibit B: Talking about getting the floatplane domain. It was owned by some masonic lodge - Imbecile Linus and his cumdump are extremely nervous about even mentioning freemasons for some reason.

I'm starting to get on the schitzo train tbh, schitzo conspiratards have been right more often than they've been wrong these past couple of years.

 

[World in Scarlet]

I keep seeing people focus on "he should have re-tested the copper cooler". I don't think that's even the worst issue with the video since they point out that their measurements are worthless (though what is even the point then?).

I suggest people watch the video in question.

The entire thing is a series of extreme incompetence on their part. They do no preparation or research and fuck up every step that can possibly be fucked up and put no effort into researching anything and then end it with "the product is shit and nobody should buy it and it's hard to work with". It really doesn't look like it is, it looks like you are extremely incompetent and careless.
Anyone with even the tiniest sense of respect for their work or their fans would have canned the video and re-did it some other day after preparing properly. LTT just shat it out to their giant audience who blindly trust their word.

The video has 1.4 million views and mostly positive ratings. This doubtlessly did damage to the small start-up company that was founded less than a year ago.

Contrary to what Linus claimed in his damage control post on the forums, they are also extremely negative about the product from the start, including about things they themselves say they have no idea about, like the gasket thing. They could have asked about the reasoning behind design decisions, but just said they don't trust it and moved on.
Contrast to them giving big corporations passing grades and contacting them to make ultra sure they don't accidentally offend anyone rich.

Even if they hadn't sold the prototype off and ghosted the company, this video alone puts them in a very bad light.

 

[Soggy paper straw]

My bro thinks Linus may be initiated.

It's a fun theory but not needed
He has contacts in high places at Youtube, one of the most important websites in the world.

 

[Markass the Worst]

Null just demolished Linus, his company, and Tranthony's lies about the Byuuicide live on MATI

 

[Belascoarán]

On the Noctua shit:

Good brand, not quite so long term ethical relationship or maybe Deepcool heatsinks really are shit and he has never received dollars from Noctua? Who can say?

Take the bag and hit upload as they say.

We can't keep winning like this man. Somehow Linus has a CONFIRMED kill count when all of ours are either disconnected or 99.9% bullshit in the case of Byuu.

Considering how control freak Linus is, or he's using an alt or he's so busy/being berated about his lack of damage control that he doesn't have time to doomscroll or read the thread.

About his subscriber count. I believe that until friday(WAN show), it won't change a lot but depending of the way he deals with it, he can lose a lot of subs and money

 

[Sleazy Car Salesman]

I think if whoever is in charge of production just started humiliating all these goobers and forcing them into a voice booth to ADR their fuckups for the editing it might quickly curb their attitudes.

He is probably getting yelled at and yelling at a lot of people right now, as well as sucking massive cock to prevent lawsuits from that heat sink company. Mission control at LTT labs is on fucking fire.

 

[grapeshark77]

I looked at the Floatplane site, refreshed it five seconds later, and the sub number went down by 40. This is like losing Patreons, much worse than your YT number falling. It seems like people had lost interest and they just needed something to remind them to cancel payments and this did it.

 

[Haramburger]

Do people here actually believe this happened?

Tbh for me it doesn't sound extremely believable. Even if it happened - Linus and LTT (and their fans) are not responsible.

If you are doing it for the meme, just go ahead

Zoe Quinn was quite famous for her bullycide: she tried MeToo'ing an old boyfriend and got him so super-cancelled from game development circles he killed himself. Then evidence surfaced that her claims were all bullshit and she was doing podcast interviews and travel when he was supposedly keeping her under lock-and-key.

It sounds like Linus did it first but it was way more lowkey, Zoe Quinn's example was a huge revelation that it really happens.

 

[Ed Special]

The only time Linus got held to account was the "trust me bro" warranty, and his fans were NOT the drivers of that pushback. When Steve and others called attention to the warranty, the fans were defending Linus, not holding him accountable.

That one's especially egregious given that in today's followup from GN, it becomes apparent that Linus made no effort to make right by Billet Labs after selling off their prototype until after GN's video yesterday. How the fuck are we supposed to "Trust you, bro" in regards to warranty if you won't even make right for your very public jewery?

 

[Big moth tiddies]

I'll put $100 on the 3090ti finally getting back to BL busted like a declined Asus RMA.

You say that like it isn't already sitting in tranthony's computer, creating terabytes of AI generated furry fart porn.

 

[HTTP Error 404]

That prototype had to be individually fabricated at one of those specialty machine shops to very exact specs.

The fact that LMG appears to not understand it was both expensive and not OK to just sell it off is baffling.

From the picture people are painting it's worse than "he doesn't understand it wasn't ok to just sell it off", it's more that "he doesn't understand it wasn't ok to do whatever he wanted, the opinion of the NPCs walking around him be damned."

Are you actually fucking retarded
yt-dlg is simply a GUI fronend for yt-dlp. Without yt-dlp there is no yt-dlg.

What you wanted to say is that youtube-dl is dead, get yt-dlp. And if someone is a nigger and is afraid of the command line they should get yt-dlg. My little yt-dlp download selection script got that shit pulled flawlessly. Perhaps use the --cookies-from-browser flag so it can access the video via your current Google login token, might have better chances.

I hesitate to enter this slapfight you've already started talking about command lines and I get a vague whiff of the linux desktop off of you -- I know better than to try and compete in an autistic slapfight with a professional autistic, good sir -- but the more I check my notes the more amused I am.

I believe in my original post I basically said the same thing, about how there are multiple guis and they all use yt-dlp but some stopped working when yt-dlp moved domain names or somesuch shit.

It gets more stupid than that.

Spoiler: Offtopic

Thanks to me never deleting anything, ever, I know exactly what I was trying to reference cause I was able to find the installers on one of my archive drives.

Here's youtube-dlg.



https://github.com/MrS0m30n3/youtube-dl-gui

Here's yt-dlg.

https://github.com/yt-dlg/yt-dlg

One works. The other doesn't. Both, IIRC, install themselves as yt-dlg in Windows. Oh, and for more fun, check their contributors out:




Spoiler alert, they renamed youtube-dl-gui to yt-dlg sometime in 2019 and just didn't bother to update the old repo or tell anyone, and eventually youtube-dl-gui stopped working because I'm pretty sure youtube-dl-gui used youtube-dl (aka ytdl), which was similarly forked into yt-dlp and stopped working.

Because it's all the same fucking things as that XKCD comic about Engineers doing manuals: "If you don't understand, that's just because you're stupid."

Someone is streaming Linus's floatplane membership count going down live

I wonder how this shitshow will affect DankPods' plans to do more stuff on Floatplane? He recently cancelled his Patreon after show to focus on this (as well as the main channel, the drum streams and Garbage Time).

I keep seeing people focus on "he should have re-tested the copper cooler". I don't think that's even the worst issue with the video since they point out that their measurements are worthless (though what is even the point then?).

Given what many have suspected for a long time, d'ya reckon Linus might have been inclined to spend a little extra time to test the cooler properly had Billet Labs slipped LTT a few thousand dollars along with the prototype cooler and 3090Ti they sent to LTT Labs?

 

[Soggy paper straw]

Zoe Quinn's example was a huge revelation that it really happens.

What are you talking about? "It" what? People lie about terrible things that happened for clout?
(edit: I cannot be bothered to change the phrasing so it doesn't come off as snarky, that is not my intention)

The question is mainly about the kid and mother actually killing themselves since there is no evidence either of them is dead.

Also, sure Linus fucked up by leaving in the name and segment with this kid, but it is not Linus' fault, even if kid actually killed himself. The threshold for "bullycide" is extremely high. I haven't watched the MATI stream yet, but with the info in this thread it is very far fetched to accept that it happened because... a reddit post said so.

I do think the majority gets that beyond the jokes and mock accusations there is no substance to these accusations. I get why people are having fun with this, I agree with the parallelism so I am not even sure where I am going with this

I hope it burns to the ground.

off topic fun fact: i met the dude's sister Eileen IRL when i was at a work event where she happened to be at the venue for unrelated reasons. Absolutely batshit dangerhair parasite and I would NOT have sex with her.

Here's her unhinged cope basically trying to square the circle of shitting on her dead brother to keep up apperances with her marxist butt buddies while still attempting to pretend she's sorry he's gone and that she loved him. Article is chock full of globohomo euphemisms and buzzwords.

For Alec, Thoughts on Transformative Justice

CW: discussions of suicide, mental health, abuse

medium.com

To be completely frank, I am terrified to post this. I’m scared that people will decide that my years of social media research, game dev work, feminist activism, and support of marginalized individuals will no longer matter. I am scared that I will lose even more than what I’ve already lost. I’m scared of how this article will be used against my best intentions. But I am also uncomfortable not saying anything, especially after hearing from others who feel like they’ve lost their voices over the last month. And so I offer up this statement as a plea towards transformative justice and care, going forward.

Not sure when this photo was taken but she looked exactly like this at the time


Living fucking meme.


I'm sure she has ALL the correct opinions also shared by burger king and starbucks HR departments.
