Fun times. Looks like a lot of channels are seeing a decline not just Linus. Hes just the latest to talk about it.

Then I saw this article as well and thought I would share.

Anyone here youtube creators? Are you seeing the same thing, a general downturn in viewership?

    There are a ton of videos about his shittiness going back years from quite a few people, you could easily find them if you wanted to.

    But I don’t get why you don’t just admit you don’t care about that history, it’s a lot less effort than whatever it is you’re trying to convince people of here.

      Where did Linus touch you? You still keep referring to some magic videos but you can’t say one example. He is living rent free in your head and you are trying your best. You tech Jesus fan boy or something?

      Go on and explain what’s the worst thing he has done? I’m your words, not some long boring gossip video about nothing.

        Funny you should bring up touching people in that context, because sexual harassment is the reason LTT stopped producing videos for awhile.

        Of course, that article also covers the Gamers Nexus investigation into LTT taking money to give biased reviews.

        I would keep going, but we both know you aren’t going to read or watch those videos, so this comment is more for the other people who might be curious about it. And honestly I think your behavior makes the arguments against LTT look better, for no other reason than assholes tend to be followed by smaller, less famous assholes.

          LTT had a 3rd party investigate that and there was nothing wrong but that doesn’t matter to you does it?

          In August 2024, former Linus Tech Tips (LTT) social media manager Madison Reeve made allegations of sexual harassment and inappropriate behavior in a tweet thread. LTT hired an outside investigator and conducted a review, which found no evidence to support Reeve’s claims. The investigation did find some administrative errors and misunderstandings during Reeve’s onboarding

          Again Steve and Louis do a podcast together and facts don’t matter. Steve is upset at Linus for being ignored at an event and he Louis to write a hit piece. This is obvious why you don’t want to type any exact issues because the bad stuff has been proven as false allegations.

            ah, yes, the good old “we paid somebody to listen to our side of the story and they naturally found nothing wrong”.

            as I said, I didn’t post that link to convince you, because you’re not interested in considering it. the link is for everyone else. you can keep on believing whatever it is you want, but since you can’t edit my comment you don’t have any way to stop anyone else from considering the facts.
