The Problem with Linus Tech Tips: Accuracy, Ethics, & Responsibility

This video is not monetized. This video covers our serious concerns regarding the data accuracy of Linus Media Group, including Linus Tech Tips, ShortCircuit...

Oof at the comments, also the video is ratioed to hell.

@paul They didn't upload today on main channel, either. TechQuickie did though and the comments on that are absolutely hilarious.

(EDIT: Full disclosure, I have connections to several current & former employees at LMG, including Linus.)

@paul I unsubscribed from his channels after all this and his response. It was so easy to say you know what we’ll do better. Instead this dude doubled and tripled down 😳
@cdlhamma @paul is there a tl;dr in text about whats going down?

@grork this looks to cover it at a high level with a few articles. There’s also the gamers nexus video.. it’s 45m long but has a table of contents to jump around. One things for sure, he had the receipts.

Gamers Nexus calls out Linus Tech Tips over accuracy & ethical concerns

Tech YouTubers Gamers Nexus has called out Linus Tech Tips with concerns about accuracy in videos and ethics surrounding content.

@paul Well deserved comments, I’ll add.

Honestly, I really have enjoyed Linus and LMG’s videos. I genuinely am rooting for him. But, he needs to take a deep breath and really listen to feedback.

Steve at GN has been imminently reasonable and has acted with integrity. Golden opportunity for Linus and team to demonstrate that they have integrity too, and they’ve fumbled it. Badly.

@paul this comment wins the internet for today:

@paul

Why does THIS GUY talk like Steve from Blues Clues??

@paul How do you see the dislikes? They are turned off for me nowadays.
@paul whoaaaaa I missed some drama, clearly

@paul LTT responded and the comments are…decent but with healthy skepticism, which is probably the right reaction, at least. https://youtu.be/0cTpTMl8kFY

Not the drama I expected this week, but wow, been spicy.

What do we do now?

@matt @paul even if it’s their identity, this didn’t need to include the jokes or half-assed sponsor segues. Let alone continuing to post it after the sexual assault and toxic workplace allegations (and deleting those comments on the video).
@matt @paul Madison's Twitterthread sadly seems way worse and more damning than what was covered by GamersNexus. https://x.com/suuuoppp/status/1691693740254228741?s=46&t=CvsFmn2WhW9JFzKe7w6-Mg

To stop the speculation and DM's I am receiving. I chose to quit my role at LTT because it, and the working environment I was facing, were ruining my mental health. The number of daily items the Social media role at the time was expected to fill was incredibly high.

@matt @paul Still non-apology from Linus while playing the victim. Not to mention the cringy ad insertions.
@paul I stopped following LTT a long time (IIRC, there was a smugness in these videos I really did not like). It seems this is just the beginning of awful revelations: https://twitter.com/suuuoppp/status/1691693740254228741?s=20

@_jonasf_ @paul haha same. i've blocked LMG content farms on youtube a long time ago, because I found the clickbaity/useful ratio to be too high for my taste
@paul can you share context?

@paul it’s worth looking at this thread by a former LTT employee.

@paul why is everyone hating on him?
@paul Yeah, think it’s usually kind of fun. Does seem like the GamersNexus guy seems like he is going to be on the right side of things.

@paul I dunno what’s happening these days.

Just put Linus, Musk (why not), Pewdiepie, and Jake Paul into a ring with a single knife in the middle and see what happpens

@paul Follow up video already out 😂

@paul there's been an update already (and it was exactly what I expected it to be from LTT) https://youtu.be/X3byz3txpso

@paul Is it really drama or just pointing out ways LTT is not doing a great job lately.

I'm an LTT fan and rarely watch Gamers Nexus. I like that discussion is happening.

@paul I wasn't aware of any of this nor are channels I follow, but thanks to you now I'm waiting for the next part

@paul why is this forty five minutes long.

The first two minutes do not answer anything about the title, which has no detail.

I didn’t know this creator before but now I assume they are bad (not LTT, the person clout chasing with this)

@jason @paul GamerNexus is a highly regarded tech reviewer. Some really good content.
@jason it’s 45 minutes long because he’s thorough in making sure he provides absolute proof for everything he says.
@jason @paul was Linus’ dick literally in your mouth when you wrote this?
@Finin @paul it’s hard to keep track but not that I recall, no
@paul seems interesting but most of the video is just random letters and digits referencing video with more random letters and digits 🙂. Modern desktop computing is really not for me
Linus Torvalds, dead, on the news at 11pm

@jimluther @paul That’s a fun story but the best part is the picture of Keith from 25 years ago.
@provuejim @paul you have to go up a level to see Keith. The link I posted has an old picture of Linus.
@jimluther @paul Oh, that makes so much more sense.
@paul Daaaaaaang. After the response: double daaaaaaang.

@paul it just keeps getting worse.

Sounds pretty toxic workspace.

“I was consistently belittled by certain members of upper management. My work was called "dogshit" I was called "incompetent". When I would reach out to managers and try to get help with these situations, I would be told to "put on my big girl pants" and be "more assertive".”

@paul Linus has always been an astoundingly toxic arrogant person
