My formal grievances with Linus "Tech" Sebastian and his company Linus Media Group.

jman116

Mr. Linus,
I have enjoyed your content time and time again, seen almost every video you've ever put out, even.
I even turn adblock off for your channel! (If I'm using YouTube mobile, that is.)

I have bought your merchandise from your infamous lttstore.com that you have promoted in every video, the 1M subscriber is a really cool design so good job on that.
However, Mr. Tech, I cannot ignore this most grievous occurrence that befell me recently from a video that you had, hopefully, had an oversight in. 

It's natural to make mistakes! I am living proof of that!

Mr. Tip, however, I know that you have hired multiple editors and although I have literally 0 experience working as a full-time editor on a team of editors for a large and successful business, I do know that I can act like I do since my real credentials are unknown to the internet. These multiple editors are a safeguard, a bastion against anything that may be against your terms of service or perhaps anger your sponsors (NVIDIA SHILL!).
Knowing that your editors have never made a mistake ever, it is certain then that your behavior in your recent video "The MOST AVERAGE Gaming PC" was intended by you.

My first evidence: At a certain point in the video, 5:56 to be exact, you highlight "Source SDK Base 2013 Multiplayer" as the fifth most played game on Steam at the time. You then discover that this is actually a collection of mods for different games (mostly GTA5), and you then make the decision to delegate your fifth playtesting to Team Fortress 2.


It is right at this moment that you messed up, dog.


You see, as an avid TF2 gamer with over 1000 hours that were NOT spent idling on achievement/item servers so don't ask, I take notice when someone mentions Team Fortress 2. As such, I was like, Oh hell yeah, Linus is gonna play some TF2 in one of his videos! I get to laugh at the horrible default config that fresh TF2 installs have (it's REALLY bad). However, as you deliberately or did not deliberately do since I don't have any proof or clues or knowledge of, you did not include any TF2 gameplay, which means that I could not go, "Ah, awesome! Linus is playing TF2" and "Ha, no min_viewmodel and FOV 60!". This is truly a travesty

 

In order to make my point heard, which I have not specified yet, I am going to do absolutely nothing different. I am going to reverse-psychology-boycott your videos by continuing to watch them, since you did not allow me to go "Ah, awesome! Linus is playing TF2" and "Ha, no min_viewmodel and FOV 60!".

Mr. Linus "Tech" Tech Tips Sebastian, I hope that we can come to an agreeance on something and possibly work out a solution to the problem which hasn't actually been specified.

Thank you for your time unless you didn't take the time to read this, and I await your response that might possibly happen unless it doesn't.

The thing about Internet is that there are a lot of people with some screws missing and a post like OP's could fully well be a serious post.

I know, but I figured he'd potentially stumble across it on his own. Chance may draw us together in this moment just as one may draw the curtains in the evening after a sunny summer day.
