What do you guys think about Linus Media Group?

I can't stand effeminate men.

>>61577546
This. I cringe so fucking much watching this dude.

>>61577559
It's too bad, 'cause I like the over the top builds he does, like that 16k setup he's working on now. Reminds me of shit like boot magazine, before tech journalism focused on the poorfags.

>>61577519
I have no idea how I was able to watch him for quite a long time

Almost all of his videos are full to the brim with advertisements and sponsors with Linus having no clue about anything at all and letting his staff do everything for him

His video where he complained that he spend $100K+ on a RED Camera was the final nail in the coffin for me, that was just stupid

>>61577613

He is nice.

His videos are not super techy but he is very entertaining. I mostly watch his videos for the entertainment than for anything else.

>>61577519
Not perfect, but generally they stick to the truth and deliver everything you need on time with plenty of benchmarks. Good especially if you want to get a less tech literate friend into the pc building ecosystem.

When i first saw him i thought 'Christ, this guys fucking jew york accent is so whiny, i bet no one watches this shit' ... then i saw the views.

>>61577519
Have no clue how this guy became a significant figure in tech review.
This is only further proof that gaymurs need to be eradicated from society.

>>61577519
I think you need to stop trying to shill yourself here Linus. No one here wants to watch your shitty gaming channel, I think reddit is more your speed.

>>61578205

Most comments here like linus. So just because you don't like linus doesn't mean he isn't popular here.

>>61578265
Most comment here don't like linus. I hate him in videos anymore and most of the work they been putting out is half ass just to hurry up and get content out. His intentionally fucking things up/breaking thinking its entertainment just bothers tf out of most. He did a good job with his company, but its time he gets out of the videos himself.

I'm a cinematographer (most of the time, else I'm Best Boy, Gaffer, Focus Puller, Camera Operator etc.) and I agree with Linus on this one being overpriced as fuck.

I refuse to purchase any Red gear because of it, I'd rather stay with Arri even though you don't have the same bragging rights.

Even Red's video formats are unnecessarily huge. In the end it just ends up on YouTube all compressed to hell. Unless you are making cinematic movies or high end commercials you do not need a Red anything.

Making money out of technology without contributing anything to the developed of such.
Linus and his company are only marketeers, they're not trying to make technology better, they're only pushing consumerist crap down your throats.

Gets mad at a third party reviewer for contributing their own information so that Nvidia AMD and Intel can't just shove bullshit down everyone's throat. Nice job Fascist niggnogg

Linus is decent enough. He's really not doing much to worsen YouTube, so he's okay in my books. I'm sure I'd get well enough along with him, too.

I don't watch him often, but I saw his tour of deadmau5' home yesterday, and that was amazing. After that I watched like three hours of coffee runs, though.

Linus Shill Tips is
80% >>>/v/
20% >>>/g/
Whether he should be posted on /g/ is debatable.
It is a fact however that:
- He leans more towards entertainment than being educational (even if it is 9gag level entertainment for retarded people).
- His reviews are geared mostly towards gamers and 13-year-olds rather than actual tech enthusiasts.
- He doesn't actually know much about tech beyond the level an average gamer knows.
- He is mainly a marketer and brand shill, rather than a tech(nician) or a tech hobbyist.
A tech hobbyist is interested in much more than just the narrow gaming tech field.
A /g/ related Youtuber should at least be involved in actual projects and wikis or reverse engineering and repair,
tangible and defined involvement like Wendell for instance.
That is to say: His reviews of hardware are shallow and scratch the surface, and the same goes for software,
because that is his maximum capacity and any more would end up with him looking stupid with every word (and he already has instances of speaking stupidity on the shallow level of hardware discussion).

I believe that banning LTT from /g/ would increase /g/'s general quality pertaining to the board's main topic: Technology.

I also believe that moving LTT to /v/ would also increase /v/'s general quality pertaining to video gaming since getting a bit educated on how gaming hardware works would reduce stupid GPU/CPU wars threads.

LinusShillTips isn't /g/. It's >>>/v/.

He is a dumb label reader.
He doesn't know even basic physics, math, or coding.
He doesn't have, and never had, a legit tech job.
He doesn't have any tech related degree/diploma/course certification.
His Linkedin is full of management bullshit, swimming instructor, and boyscout.
Yet in spite of all of this he acts as if he knows anything, and as if he represents the tech collective.

He is a fucking marketer. His hardware reviews are about as informative as reading the fucking PDF.
The average Joe is more likely to get fucked over by listening to his idiocy.
His "humor" is 9gag level.

He is so fucking tech illiterate that he had to employ a special writer for his TechQuickie channel because he's too stupid himself.
The same faggot who tried to push a spiritual book as a solution for Carpal Tunnel or something.

His group is a marketing group, not a tech group.

He had to Internet beg for money in order to move to an office, which he managed to get ripped off on because he is a dumb faggot (admits it).
A fucking hotel cleaner in Las Vegas who gets paid on average $2400-$2700 a month can sooner or later afford what Linus has to beg for on the Internet, or beg to the manufacturers and labels.
He depends on his wife's BJ income, and she looks like those roach monsters from Terra Formars (pic related).
He pays his faggot employees minimum wage [admitted in the WAN show discussion between him and Luke], his ad revenue has halved in the meantime, and YT revenue is shit in the first place.

If you want computer case angles and proper feature description with objective reviews, you watch those faggots HardwareCanucks, who even go as far as reviewing fucking dust filters.
If you want to post on-topic /g/ related YouTubers, you post people who actually have tech jobs, tech education, and practical application; like Wendell from TekShitdictate, or Louis Rossman for board repair and reading blueprints.

Fuck off to >>>/v/.

He is prosumer trash that appeals to the same audience as CSI: Cyber. They're both packed with about the same amount of useful information.

He couldn't make his Cisco router work. He couldn't make his pfSense router work. He couldn't build a 1u server so "1u servers are teh sux". He clipped parts off his 2u server to get components to fit. He tried to build a NAS. He did that terrible 10Gbe LAN implementation. And He tried to water cool his house with hilarious results.

He is as amateur as they come but he's too stupid to see it. His viewers are ignorant fools if they take him seriously. Good on him for fleecing them but anyone who follows his bullshit is dumber than Linus. I've only ever seen part of one of his videos and I thought it was an April fool's day show until someone pointed out they were all like that. I've gotten wind of all his other fuckups second hand.

If someone advertises in his show I won't buy their product. I'm assuming it doesn't work and they have to pay someone to shill to the ignorant masses.

His show looks like a high school project that didn't work and he's always trying to figure it out at the last minute while the judges are watching.

His wife looks like a Japanese urban legend monster. I know she's probably Korean or Viet but she looks like something out of Japanese lore that greets you on the street after dark and eats your skin if you don't tell her where her dead daughter is buried.

Linus can theoretically be a shill of everything /g/ loves, and /g/ will still rightfully hate him because mutual agreements on certain products don't magically invalidate that he is a dumb faggot shill who should be posted on the dedicated containment gaymer board for tech retards instead of /g/.

Every time he does a sponsorship video, he downplays problems and basically lies for money to underage people on YouTube;
often contradicting things he previously said in the past.
I guess you could say that's the point of sponsorship, but still, the man makes a living by lying to kids about tech which translates to kids making hefty mistakes spurred by a shill. He's human trash.

Linus is good if you want condensed information and don't have the time or knowledge to get it from the original source. So he's not a creator of “original” content but he does disseminate and sum up information in a way that normies can understand.

KEK

A little bit of Linus goes a long way, dude gets old fast. Luke on the other hand is as lovable as they come.

Question though, how do they afford all this shit? I know they get sent free shit often but is it just youtube ad revenue that pays for that? They get a lot of views but the other turds who get huge youtube views don't pay out the ass for shit like Linus does.

>>61588265
It's all free shit and underage buying their shirts and mugs, and also a subscription service on another site.
YouTube has halved ad revenue 2 years ago or such even before the latest fiasco which itself also butchered ad revenue.
There's not much in youtube revenue left to gain.
The question you want to ask is how much his expenses are and how much his personal income is, because equating the company profits/losses to a net gain probably ends up too meager for the amount of shit he does that cancels out living a life.

>>61588265
Free stuff, ad revenue from their 3 channels and forum, sponsoring, paid product placements, and merch

They have done one or two videos for some other company, but it was only one or two and it was a few years ago

>>61577519
he's surprised me a lot, positively and negatively. sometimes he strikes me as absolutely clueless and other times he'll change my mind by saying something astute.

he seems to have extensive industry knowledge but as a technical journalist he gets utterly destroyed by the likes of Wendell.

>>61577519

>watch a video on a CPU

>>61588509
I can't enjoy his big projects because I don't trust his ability to conduct them right. not after complained about his zero-redundancy consumer-drive-filled storage server failing. all his credibility just vanished at that point.

Wendell had a similar video back when he was still with TekSyndicate and all he did was get business grade hardware off of ebay for dirt cheap. and it fucking works. he is an engineer.

even if Linus' shit works in the end, I will feel like I've learned absolutely nothing because for all I know half the steps could be redundant or useless.

If people did watch videos of 10 year old hardware, Core2Duo videos would still be popular

Well, editing capabilities increases a lot. He not only does youtube videos, his wife is some big head on china and gets him loads of work from there. Also. Youtube compresses files to an extent, so if you enconde your file to the max file size youtube accept, your loss will be minimal.

>>61588459
