It is dramatic, but the fact that Linus has always pretended to be a tech media guy, it’s quite remarkable to see him as a tool who has no integrity, much less even an iota of concern for testing accuracy. The billet labs guys he trashed in his erroneous testing and review of their prototype, are a pair entrepreneurs just trying to serve a very niche market. Linus Media Group, a multi million dollar company stole these dudes property, shit on them with an egregiously erroneous review, and then when Linus is called out for this, he puts out a video saying he can’t be expected to waste $100-$500 for accurate tests! And “I didn’t sell the billet lab’s prototype!! I auctioned it!”
Steve released a video pointing out a bunch of technical errors and ethical concerns about how LMG is run, Linus just straight up admitted that he thinks it’s unreasonable to have his fancy new multi-million dollar lab spend even $100 on retesting even though he absolutely knew that his results were inaccurate, doubled down after people started calling him out on it, whined that he didn’t “sell” the one of a kind prototype that he’d promised to give back to the manufacturer, he “auctioned” it for charity, even though that had been explicitly stated in Steve’s video, and then completely separately a former employee said that she had been sexually harassed while working there.
I’ll help ya out since I felt the same way and spent too much time on something I don’t really care about, though I do care for the person who was impacted.
They are a tech YouTube channel that tests components for computers and the like.
Basically, a former female employee (can’t remember her name) who was the social media manager, made a post of her tenure there, and it was horrible. Sexual harassment, belittled, ridiculous standards for work. At one point she felt she needed to gash herself and go to the ER, just so she can take a day off because she was ridiculed for taking a sick day previously. There is whole shit ton more. I’d link the post but sorry I’m a little lazy rn.
The guy who is “de-friending” this Linus guy, is another YouTuber who does the same thing.
This was a hyper TL;DR, and I’m missing other things, but that’s pretty much the jist of it.
Who? Na I’m speaking about the Madison girl, and the workplace environment. You can go to the Linus Tech Tips instance and find out more about what’s up. It’s all over there.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !linustechtips
When you say- “The guy who is “de-friending” this Linus guy, is another YouTuber who does the same thing” it sounds like you’re accusing him of the same abuse Linus’ Company is being accused of. I don’t believe Steve, that’s the guys name, has ever been accused of anything like that.
Tbh I’m just sad that as a society we don’t accept aging. It would be so much easier if we didn’t fight it. So she looks like she’s 60 years, so what, she is 60 years old (I’m assuming lol). Whether I look like her or Tom Cruise at their age, I want to not care. I want to be happy. Who needs to look that good at 60? The only people you should be trying to attract at that age are similarly aged people
Haha, guilty as charged! Seems like a few of us share that little secret. As they say, whatever helps us get through those groggy mornings, right? I hope my emails still come across as genuine. Coffee or not, it’s all me behind every word.
