🌟 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 imagine it must be pretty dehumanizing living in a tiny ass apartment with multiple people since you barely can afford anything with your pay, watching your boss fly around and spend money like no tomorrow.
 
https://youtube.com/watch?v=zGoIY37ZtDQNigga bought a private jet as a business expense. Probably more for personal use.
How do sloptuber faggots afford all this shit. There are seriously this many people lined up at the trough to watch a retarded manchild play with toys to make enough AdSense to afford not just the cost of a private jet (thats cheap in comparison) but the full operations too?
 
How do sloptuber faggots afford all this shit
LTT is still one of the biggest sloptuber farms, by far. So if anyone could theoretically do so, he'd be at the top of that list. But we've gone well into depth earlier in this thread that by all accounts, its going to be a huge money sink, and exceedingly difficult to justify the continued ownership of.
 
I gave up on the video 5 minutes in, but I sense foreshadowing:

This nigga is concussed and has schizo tendencies or something I'm guessing from his gay personal vlogs, he's neutered himself, he will 100% crash the plane if he is allowed on it when he has a mental episode.
 
"I'm personally kind of opposed to the private air travel industry. I don't think it sends a good message. [...] There's a lot of things about it that make me kind of uncomfortable, and I get that this is something that people either don't believe or don't want to hear [...], but I don't actually like feeling separated. [...] I prefer to just sit with everyone."

AdSense is nothing and you don't even need 1m+ views per video. What you need is to sell your soul and dignity, take as many sponsors as you can and shill like there's no tomorrow. And build a parasocial connection with retards and sell them your overpriced merch, you don't even need that many, just enough rich whales.

Adsense, selling cheap chinese merch for a 300% or more markup. Making every personal expenditure into a business expense to avoid paying taxes on that money.

Oh, and getting anywhere from 20-50,000 per video to shill shit., not including any normal sponsorships throughout the video. He could get $30k to show off a TV, plus another 10 for a VPN segment or whatever, plus his adsense revenue and merch sales on top of that. This is why LTT was such a content farm with 10 channels producing over a dozen videos a week before GN called them out for their bullshit and they "changed their ways" to be less of a content farm with only a half dozen channels producing 8+ videos a week. And that's before the retarded faggot fans throw money at their floatplane bullshit, youtube paid subscriptions, and so on.

MKBHD, Unbox Therapy, MrWhoseTheBoss, all of these people do this same shit. It's just that LTT does even more of it. Hell, when EKWB was having problems jayztwocents mentioned they owed him something close to 6 figures I believe it was for ad shit they hadn't paid for, and you know he was getting product for free to make the videos for years with all of the watercooling builds. Brands will throw $30k at a youtube channel for a 20 minute video because they know they'll get more out of it that a half dozen billboards along the side of a busy freeway, and get metrics about the viewers as well, and it would cost far less than filming a 30-60 second ad and paying to air it somewhere, all while leaving it up to the people running the youtube channel they're paying to do the heavy lifting.
 
Over the years Linus has often mused about how he is raising his kids. And at times, seemed to genuinely question whether he was doing things right.

As a young and tech-literate parent, how should he navigate allotting his kids' screen time, social media, age restricted games, parental controls, etc. etc.
As a notable YouTuber, should he feature them in videos, use them as props, build them a fanbase, and how should he compensate them.
And as someone newly rich, what balance should he strike between raising grounded and relatable kids versus furnishing a "dream" childhood full of excess.

That last point is the most interesting, and also the one Linus seemed to grapple with the most.
He saw what his work ethic got him in life. He began as a painter, with stories of respirators, crawl spaces, and hot sunny days painting white-picket fences. (Which always reminds me of Destiny working as a carpet cleaner and HVAC installer) Linus worked his way up at NCIX corporate while making videos for them as a side-project, he didn't stumble into YouTube success, it was a multi-year grind, which eventually paid-off.

So what does Jan 2024 Linus think about the prospect of raising "rich kids" and the lengths he'd consider going to avoid it:



And Late-2025 Linus?
Nah jk, we're a private jet family now, tax write-off vlog in Cabo!

Then somewhat prophetically, these two clips are DIRECTLY after that one:

unsubscribed and hit do not recommend channel. his newest videos are kinda shit also so this act just tipped the scale for me.
The guy was always hard carried by just having a funny accent tbh. His old videos were definitely better, but it's not like they were ever incredible outside of Aussies just naturally sounding funnier.

His car channel GarbageTime is infinitely better and is rather obviously where his passions in video making lay now, even though James does like 90% of the actual mechanic work.
 
This really needs to be talked about more, how the guy who is not paying his workers and is an anti-union enthusiast just bought a jet for himself. But I suppose it's not going to happen if Linus won't make a big oopsie like Pirate Software did, and all of those slopdrama tubers just smelled the blood and went all in spreading the word.

He got called out for being a slop content farm
He constantly has tech related errors in his videos about tech(benchmark fails, failure to look up settings, etc.)
He still runs an AI slop channel for reviewing power supplies, one of which blew up and they still had a fucking affiliate link to buy it
He's had multiple waves of employees quit
He forced his editors to edit video of him running around his house buck naked
He pays his podcast co-host/CTO/CFO/Floatplane CEO/etc. so poorly he's had to live in an apartment with his girlfriend and another roommate
He makes his employees do bullshit work on his houses to dodge taxes
He stole hardware from a small business and auctioned it
He either fired or encouraged tranny shrek to quit
He's rabidly anti union
He farms his low paid employee's rinkydink apartments for content probably making more per video than those employees make in a month(especially since it's also sponsored shit he's getting paid to shill while being provided with either free hardware directly or a budget of marketing dollars for it)
He's ripped off his audience with his merch multiple times including the chinese backpack warranty "just trust me bro" fiasco
He hired an investigator to investigate his HR issues after former employees made allegations about harassment and found no wrongdoing
He was involved in shilling multiple shitty companies that provided VPNs, password apps, Honey, etc. that either turned out to be shitty businesses or even scams because he doesn't vet anything.
He bought a private jet and was immediately proven to be a hypocrite regarding discussing it
He became a mod on his subreddit and swore it wouldn't be to personally janny it of anything he deems offensive yet he's done so multiple times
He made wild claims about ad blockers being theft since he deserves more ad revenue
He has a psycho kid that killed a family pet and blamed it on the maid

At what fucking point does he need to make another oopsie for the internet to finally be fed up with him after he's managed to dodge bullshit after all of that? And that's all just within the past few years, he's been at this crap for ages now. Even if his business collapsed tomorrow, aside from the fucking jet of all things, he'd still be loaded and never have to work a day in his life again. Piratesoftware blew all of his money on retarded shit so the backlash from his stupidity actually had consequences for him. Linus? It's not going to amount to much even if it did happen.

Funnily enough, Pirate software also had all of those controversies before his fall from grace. The one thing that made the internet change its mind about him and highlight his controversies was being bad in a video game and being an ass about it.

But I do agree that even if there were some sort of backlash, Linus likely won't go poor because of that. He's kind of too big to fall now. Still, it would be funny to see him react to it all.

Sure, but that's really only because Mald finally had a big enough audience when he fucked up. His past fuckups like Eve Online, Ashes of Creation, Secondlife, and so on he either didn't have an audience or it was small enough within a niche game that no one noticed. Hell, even if Mald had been playing WoW and made the same fuckup without the big streamer collab thing, it probably would have slipped by as well. But Linus has had a much larger audience for years at this point with his failures broadcast directly to his simp fans and they just won't stop consooming his shit until he finally rapes or murders someone on stream, and even then he'd still have fans.
 
I'm waiting for the "Remember how we couldn't do tech yacht? Tech plane!" announcement.
We are prophets saaar.

It doesn't help that Wade generally doesn't really know or care much about computers leading to his DankPods videos not being much different, exciting nor informing. Like yeah bro you hate your shitty netbook that runs XP because ??? (ugh, Windows!!!!) and yeah bro the MP3 player does have a generic interface and looks silly. What else is new?

Garbage Time is good though I like it :like:. I think he should just stop caring about what he should be doing and use his channel for random thoughts that come to his head. No one likes a nigga on repeat.
