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

I've taken the extreme step of joining to let you guys know that the quality of your recent fanfics has really dropped off lately, and frankly, I'm disappointed.

The quoted post is not bad. It's got a couple key elements, like stuff I never said and stuff I never did, but what the fuck is this "I hope he doesn't fuck up his mouth" bullshit? I shouldn't have to tell you guys how to milk lolcows.

The 'edge' that I've come to expect is completely missing. Here are some helpful suggestions:

- "he sound(s) different"? Needs to go much harder at the impact on my appearance and enunciation
- needs something about being cucked by my dom wife
- needs more speculation about my failing business - something about desperation
- complete lack of slurs. You're anonymous and there's no consequences. You know you want to do it.


I’ve never seen your content, but you sound like a woman trying to start a fight.

There's been posts on the subreddit about this for months. This level of incompetence is pretty impressive though, you'd think a tech company that makes 55% of their profits from merch (and has >100 employees) would seek to fix issues like this ASAP

This is something that's been going on for a long time. It's apparently never been fixed even with Linus posting on his reddit hugbox about when a guy around 6 months ago got customs raped because of their sloppy work. Cue Linus' "we will work and improve blah blah blah" speech and bingo, still happening.

Went searching for it and found a totally different but exact same example. This one involves them just straight up putting the wrong price on an invoice leading to Singapore customs raping a poor Chinaman, and then LTT refusing to fix the problem and stonewalling the guy, until public sentiment went against LTT after the initial and expected obfuscation phase from their dipshit fanbase.

No, they make 55% of their revenue from merch. The profit margin is probably the lowest of all their revenue streams outside of Floatplane. It's the nature of that game but part of the problem is LTT trying to bring more of the logistics side of physical sales in house. I understand why, who wants to pay someone to do what seems like basic tasks when you've already got a warehouse and over 100 employees who you pay for anyway who can do it. The issue is that logistics is hard to do properly and easy to fuck up. Even massive logistics specialists fuck up all the time.

It goes back to my main issue with LTT, they review tech yet have structured the company to do things that don't really support tech reviews. I know that Linus has a belief that they have good products and maybe they do, but the type of product design and manufacturing they do and have done is extremely expensive. Don't get me wrong, they make lots of money but it also costs lots money. Far be it for me to tell a successful business man how to run his shit but maybe LTT needs to scale back and focus on the core of the company and what makes the most profit with a down turn on the horizon?
 
I looked through the recent WAN Show time stamps because I ain't in the mood to watch Curry Braces right now, and nothing about we frens on the farms. So whatever Canadian molestation they have planned is still in the pipeline or he wanted some employees to leave willingly because they literally can't work for a literal nazi literally.

These faggots need to get their priorities in order. If I were this broke and a 'tech enthusiast', I'd be saving my money for my next PC upgrade and not on overpriced, shitty LTT merch. Just buy some cheap knock-off LTT merch if you feel the overwhelming need to advertise the fact you're an LTT fan.
 
He said "I'm more Wozniak than Jobs". In the same breath he literally says "I'm not comparing myself to Wozniak." You're like a journalist in the way you twist words.
He is more Jobs too.
A figure head and face with no real in depth technical knowledge, only enough to present and sound authoritative
Both are also narcissists that would rather do things the way he wants than listen to those around him.
Worked out for Job's right? Made all that money and died before his time because he knew more than his doctors.

While you're not wrong, they're all still completely right to be fucking pissed at LTT shitting up a very easy process. This happening as a mistake for a few weeks? That's one thing, reimburse people. A consistent problem, that's a bigger deal. If someones got more parasocial than brains, and is blowing money they can't afford on stupid shit to line your pockets, the last thing you want to be doing is punishing them for it. That's a great way to completely turn someone against you as a business.

Some of these comments are golden though. Love it when support tells me to Fuck Off, and its an even better sign when the social media manager needs to step in and unfuck it.

There has been an itty bitty drama going on with Linus and Jeff_Tek, A tech channel with less than 5K sub.

On 02/12/2025 Jeff posted a video that is a basic summary on a lot of drama Linus has gotten and was done in a rather neutral professional tone.

6 days later he drops the act and made another video on Linus, this time on Linus' reddit comment on his video that was poosted in the LTT subreddit.

The reddit post & comment:

The notable thing in this drama is that Jeff respected Linus' "RIGHT TO RESPONSE" tm
1765285182914.png
His email went completely unnoticed and in typical Linus behavior he denies ever receiving it.


Among all the drama/techtubers that talked about his drama and the state of LMG, him choosing to comment on the Kiwifarms and on a 5k channel just tells me he wants to scream and seethe but doesn't want to be seen as doing so otherwise it reveals he has low Izzat to his general audience.

I don't think Linus understands what the core of the company even is at this point. It isn't consumer tech reviews, it isn't being a lifestyle brand, it isn't a video production company that can act as outsourced labor, and it isn't a video hosting provider. It's trying to be a half dozen things at once while being mediocre(at best) at them.

Even just the "merch"(like I said, he's trying to make it a lifestyle brand) from his lttstore
7 backpacks and bags
2 listings for bottle lids for bottles that don't seem to exist
3 desk mats
4 packs of magnetic cable management clips(going up to $700 USD btw)
31 items in "Other" some of which doesn't have anything to do with LTT. steelseries, razer, corsair, etc. shit? But now we've also hit the point where some of these products have options, colors and sizes. The pens alone have 4 SKUs each. 15 for the water bottle colors and sizes.
3 different screwdrivers now, some of which also have color options.

This is already far more shit than most e-celebs try and sell as merch. Lets get to clothing!
4 products in cargo pants and underwear... some of is it sized XS through XXXL, but the pants are regular/tall, 8-10 waist sizes so that's another 20 SKUs for 1 pair of pants. The underwear is another 24. 28 for sweatpants, 7 for jogging pants.
6 hats, seems to carry them in medium and large, but they aren't even actually fitted hats so that's another 12 SKUs
30 more products for shirts/jackets/sweaters. I'm not even going to try and count this. 7 sizes, 2-5 colors let's call it 2 per since some have no option, that's another 400 SKUs

So basically 500-600(or more) products in his merch store, that's practically a small dedicated(this is the key word here) retail operation at this point. This should be it's own entire separate business entity with its own management structure, facility, and so on, but then he also wants to handle all of the logistics in-house, all while doing the design in-house, and even the marketing so he can show nerds in underwear as part of his lifestyle branding. And that could all be fine, except he seems to give this retail operation as much attention as he does his tech testing shit and video production.

He can't get what he wants the LTT brand to appear as right, how the hell is he going to handle a retail operation properly? There's a reason so many companies exist to handle this shit in place of doing it in-house even just from the logistics of shipping to customers.

I'm sorry, Linus, you're still a nigger. And Terry Davis was worried about you and that other guy. You're both a bunch of fucking niggers. You probably don't even write your own compiler like a white man.
Well so you have a lot of money and you decide to marry a really ugly dominant Asian woman instead of a hot supermodel. I never get nerds with money who made these pie faced ugly Asian skanks and have ugly half mongoloid children. Your children Half Asian kids just have massive amounts of mental problems. Enjoy that. I mean, I don't wish that on anybody, but it's just a fact.

linus making an account here ended being a nothingburger. im glad i dont watch ltt for years now
With how slow his editing team is, it might still be on the way. But it is entirely possible he just got verified with Null on a spur of the moment idea that everyone else told him was retarded, but they only learned about it after he did it.

Following my brutal expose - faggot Linus has fixed the issue. He was unwilling and uncaring to fix the undue justice to his customers until yours truly personally called him out.

All Redditards should grovel at my feet for saving them the monies owed to their wives' boyfriends for the pay period

Eat my ass @LinusTech
 
I gotta say it's incredibly based to join just to refute such an absolute harmless post. I'm as of yet undecided if it's maximum seething or just a flex of how he's so uncancelable even a KF account won't do him in.

Linus got a point though that a lot of threads are just full of nonstop seething trying to paint every mundane thing in the worst light ever.
Homeboy got braces who the fuck cares.
As someone who pops into this thread occasionally, what I've seen reminds me a lot of AVGN 5:40 sperging. Don't get me wrong, Linus is an annoying faggot and a cuck, but I think a lot of people are so desperate for milk that they make a mountain out of a molehill.
