   Man the latest Linus Tech Tips scandal happening to do with Linus himself and management of it was something totally out of leftfield, everyone was expecting more drama with "where is Anthony?".

     @bronze @Pawlicker @deprecated_ii that's why you should only trust ones that say the n word. They can't be bought.

     >long time in tech journalism
     >not learning basic shit
     But they did learn. They learned how to take bribes from large companies in order to talk up their products. That's "basic journalist shit," use your reach to get more money and become an salesman instead since that's where the money is. Journalists are always a very fine line away from becoming paid whore advertisers.

     @deprecated_ii @Pawlicker once you take into consideration that they were never serious to begin with it makes perfect sense
     Like look at this for example:
     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbRe1k2k0ow
     On paper it should be easy right? Just adapt the hoses to the size the car radiator needs and slap a box fan behind it. Maybe actually do your research and jerry rig something pretty cool and interesting. But no, the video isn't about that, rather its about the two soyboys who are utterly inept with car shit filming their trainwreck adventure for your entertainment. Their content is quite literally the mental equivalent of popcorn and should be treated as such.
     And then these same people get a lab to "run the numbers" and "accurately" test their parts? LMAO

     @Pawlicker honestly is anyone surprised about them being inaccurate? LTT content has always been and always will be the mental equivalent of popcorn..

     @bronze @Pawlicker it is hard to understand however how someone can be involved in "tech journalism" or whatever for a decade without learning basic shit

     @captain_arepa @bronze I should add too, this was the big scandal for Linus because any Linus video that featured Anthony/Emily would derail into flamewars in the comments, Arch Linux user jokes, jokes about "what happened to Anthony", or simps talking about how stunning and brave Emily is.
     
     And then this happened and it dwarfed the other because you can freely talk about this online and it has everything to do with the core product.
     
     I was 100% sure there'd be some sex pest scandal like with how soyteens dug up that Chris from MrBeast was pals with a pedophile (who was only outed as such after hacking into the Discord account of an unrelated gooner pedophile who was provoking said site (none of this is a joke or made up in any way)).

     >sex pest scandal
     Funny you bring that up, someone in one of the matrix rooms I'm in has a theory that LTT is just a sex club and I'm starting to believe that's the case
