Yeah, that was really baffling especially when a video literally from a week before shows him doing competent electric work on his new shed (at least to a layman). How the hell do you gently caress that up?

Merch has always been everything in the creative scene. If you ever wanted to actually support a band buying their CD is cool and all but going to their gig and buying their shirts is way better. It's not surprising that Youtube creators have discovered the same.

I just assumed that they have all this poo poo around the office that they don't know what to do with. So why not create some goodwill and stuff some if it in a random tshirt order? Seems harmless enough. The first foil shirts sold out super fast before anyone knew there was a potential prize I think.

The amount of monetizing, marketing and min maxing everything by Linus just makes me think that "give" is not in his vocabulary. But also I do know he does a lot of cool stuff for his employees (allegedly) so of course it's not that simple. In short, Linus is a land of contrasts.


...so he's basically doing raffles without calling them raffles? lol

I'm watching the WAN Show and Luke needed to install an ad blocker to read an article (because the ads were literally covering the entire page) and Linus was visibly consternated and reminded him it's company policy that ad blockers are disallowed on company computers :nallears:

Linus outed himself as a complete shitter to me on a previous WAN show when he said he'd be personally offended if his employees unionized because he treats them so well. Good treatment and worker rights are OK to him as long as he gets to arbitrate and feel good about it.

Not to misrepresent Linus completely, he's obviously on the side of fair wages, good working conditions etc. Yet it tells me of some weird pettiness to take unionization personally instead of an extension to him working to permanently make his workers and the whole tech industry into a fairer place for all. He constantly talks about making LMG independent of him and/or Yvonne anyway so unions would probably make sense in the long run.

New Wan Show has Linus venting on how he got shafted on the lab building purchase. Previous owners stripped the place bare including safety railings that made the building up to whatever code they were looking for etc. It feels like every WAN show now there's a new drama for Linus to vent about whether self caused or not. Was it always like this? I don't watch regularly but I skim the topics every so often and the general tone just feels like it has chanced. I guess spending your (business') millions is stressful

Honestly it has been quite a bit more venting ever since the Nvidia youtube shenanigans, but most if not all of the venting has been pretty much justifiable any way you look at it.

And his latest rant feels completely reasonable. Wouldn't you be annoyed if they took all of the windows and doors and locks right before you moved in?

Oh, it's completely fine to vent, I don't care. Just a direction that I felt the show has been going towards.

Looking at that WAN Show, it seems like a case of a legitimately psychotic LTT stan inventing a rape accusation to try and sabotage Linus and his business with a mass email to guessed LTT worker emails and any disclosed business partners. A whole lot of :confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused: has ensued. Just absolutely hosed up poo poo

Edit: I just listened to the WAN show clip and it's kind of a wild take. His argument for not providing a warranty is that if he died tomorrow he wouldn't want his wife to feel obliged to run the company, thus going through the trauma of seeing her dead husband's face over all the branding (he actually said this), which is the situation he'd be creating by providing a legally binding obligation to repair his expensive backpack over the next 10 years.

That is true of literally any company lmao. C'mon man. If you can't provide the support, then don't sell the product. You can't get into a business where warranties are expected and then give such dubious excuses to not provide them.

The sheer amount of people going "just trust him bro" is astonishing. Pinkie promise is just as good as a binding contract don'tcha know?

I'm at a loss for words at how mind numbingly dumb he is

e. why the gently caress does he keep talking about a lifetime warranty??? Just give a year or something, who gives a gently caress!

Linus didn't bring this up or comment on it at all currently, this is 4chan shitlords who Naomi Wu decided to give attention to.

Like, he probably shouldn't have responded that way back in 2021 (regardless of whether he did something wrong or it was just a miscommunication).

But also, if you don't enjoy getting getting bad attention from 4chan shitlords, don't link to 4chan threads and screenshot 4chan posts on your twitter. There are far more white incel chuds there than in the LTT fanbase or anywhere else.

She's been hosed with for years and linking a closed thread after it's been closed probably gives her as much harm as not linking it.

And he definitely shouldn't have responded like he did, he's a huge moron.
