Jesus fuck Linus. Half the reason you are popular is because people trust your statements; and you are just flushing that away.

You shouldn't trust an influencer, even someone that doesn't outright scam you, they make the videos that make them the most money.

Linus just straight up lied about Billet labs resolution. That alone is horrendous behaviour.

While not being directly related it might be worth noting that a former employee of lmg has now come forward on twitter to describe in gory detail the kind of treatment she received while working there. The culture there sounds utterly disgusting and based on their history it is all extremely believable. Link to the post

Really makes me think they need a union. Also makes me wonder what all Linus learned from this guy who "taught me everything about management" if this is his style of management.

[–] TurboDiesel@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago

Linus is explicitly anti-union. He's stated on camera that "if you treat your employees well, you don't need a union." All this bullshit coming out proves that's a fuckin' lie.

This post should be pinned. I went in not liking her because to be she came off on camera as unlikable (giving you this context so you know my mindset going in to the read).

By the end, I was sickened, disgusted and appalled at the treatment she got. I have obviously unsubbed. I was going to wait this out to see how LMG solved this but fuck them. I wish her all the best and as swift a recovery as possible.

The saddest thing is, reading that post, you can tell exactly when she's quoting linus even when she doesn't mention him.

Is Madison the one that became popular in the community after being snarky in a video while they were building a new PC for her? I think I remember her getting a job there afterwards. If I remember correctly, she was really funny.

Linus is always dropping shit, and this is no different.

Also, don't fuck with tech Jesus

Wow. When you're supposed to wait and hear from both sides and this is what comes... Yikes. Went to check and read the whole response and any other replies that might have come from it on their forum and found ~115 pages (oops 2 more while writing this) of discussion after Linus' post.

All I want is just good hardware reviews, the rest is noise...

Same. Seems LTT and Short Circuit is out. As demonstrated, they aren't a reliable source.

[–] BruceTwarzen@kbin.social 15 points 1 year ago

Same, that's why i never liked that twat

Linus is tech cancer plain and simple, now more so.
