Honestly, that's a much larger issue to me than the beef with GN. Forcing the image of a super cool liberal easy company while being as shitty as every other bigger greedy firm. So sad.
Linus is completely one of the most ruthless capitalists. The pace he makes his staff follow shows that he doesn't really care about them but the money they generate.
I think it might be more the fact that he is a workaholic and expects everyone else to be. But yeah, I don't think he is quite as progressive as he thinks he is.
It's easy to work a lot when you get rewarded for it. Employees are almost never actually rewarded for working harder or more. It's honestly the most privileged capitalist lie to tell others how their actions help "us" when all they will receive is another paycheck but the capitalist can use the gains to expand their investment or give themselves massive bonuses or wages.
Also easy to work a lot when you decide what your job is, I've worked tirelessly this week doing important market research, networking and product development... I sat on YouTube, chatted to friends and day dreamed about things I could do in the future.
If Linus feels like playing with a gaming rig then that's what he does, good staff don't have that luxury so it's a totally different ball game
The sad/tragic thing is he probably doesn't realize that and he is surrounded by people who reinforce that. He never had any business running a company this size.
I don't think he cares about the money all that much, he just wants to be the nr.1 tech YouTube guy. If he was in it for the money, he'd be doing something else. He wants to be validated above all, and he has little regard for other people's needs. That's a dangerous cocktail.
I don't think he cares about money, he cares about having fun and public recognition. So he works his people really hard towards that end even if they can't handle it.
His reasoning for not testing the bilit labs waterblock further was $500
He is stingy yes, but I feel like that was also an excuse for not wanting to redo stuff.
I mean if he straight up said 500$ what other excuse is there?
On his initial (bad) response he says that it's because the outcome wouldn't be affected because the product is "bad". But no way in hell Linus is THAT stupid, ie to think that a 3090TI block would work the same on a 4090.
I mean since he has the lab and all he could have just sent it to them to verify if the cooler makes good contact with the dye and other chips on the 4090 and verified it with billet like how they'd compare CPU scores with AMD.
But all of that takes drumroll time (and therefore money) and money!
I mean if he straight up said 500$ what other excuse is there?
The extra time it takes to create the same video.
That's what he was saying with the $500. He said $500 dollars worth of people's time.
Forcing someone to run an onlyfans is fucking insane and should 100% be a lawsuit, that's disgusting.
There are people that I know that would run an onlyfans for a decent paycheck and not be bothered by it at all. It's actually pretty easy to find someone who would do that just go into any sex store and offer the cashier above minimum wage and there's a good chance they would take the job.
I've been watching LTT since I was 13, this past few weeks has completely changed my perspective on them in a very negative way and I'm extremely disappointed.
Yeah that's a super weird one, why did they even have an only fans?
