I, like every one of you, get's paid for their intellectual contribution towards the company you work for.  I'm not sitting on a pile of cash, obviously, and would not turn down the opportunity for a consulting opportunity where i could contribute towards the voice of the generation.

 

I'll apologize for the next bit beforehand.

 

What makes you think that you represent "generation" so much that you should be compensated for giving feedback? What qualifications do you have that you can give accurate advice about creating entertainment?

In regards to the gear.  If you read my ask, it was not "hey give me free stuff....", it was a gentle ask for a fair price on a rig i need to update in the near future.  If anyone else has equipment they want to sell at a fair price, feel free to PM me.

Used markets are a thing. I'm student with €0-1000 income per month and yet I can upgrade gradually.

LTT hires writers from time to time.  Next time they're hiring, you can apply and sign up to move to British Columbia.

They're located in Columbia? I thought they were in the US.

...This is sarcasm, right?  LTT frequently makes comments about how it operates in Canada...

They are Canadian company. And it's British Columbia, the province. Not Columbia the country.

It wasn't a joke.

 

I was about to make a Nick Crompton joke

How many /s's do I need?

Do more mean the sarcasm was even more extreme, or do they cancel out, like you were sarcastic about being sarcastic, thus meaning /s /s would mean your'e serious?

Well if the /s command means "apply contrary meaning to the statement and add a bit of snark" then /s /s would give the statement face value meaning, but add 2 bits of snark.

 

So the more snarky you are the more /s's you should put in there but be careful about the parity.

 

/s /s /s

; I request no direct compensation. 

so perhaps a fair deal on any last gen parts you need to clear out would be helpful but not expected.

have an LLC that would allow me to be a remote consultant if you would like. 

did you really just talk a bunch of shit then ask for parts and a job?

 

i dont disagree with some of your points, but really? wtf is wrong with you

If you find any of this helpful, possibly even resulting in video production; I request no direct compensation.  I’m rocking a Sandy Bridge 2500k and an Radeon 7700  on my “main” rig, so perhaps a fair deal on any last gen parts you need to clear out would be helpful but not expected.

This is the most adorably backhanded beg for freebie parts ever. If you want a fair deal on last gen parts, go to eBay. You're after cheapies and handouts.

 

I'd respond to this in more depth, but I don't need to. Nothing said here is anything that hasn't been said before. I can think of several other forum threads you might as well have copypasta'd this from, and God only knows how many YouTube videos have comments almost identical to these in them. Regardless of whether this is an attempt to get a steal on some old LMG parts or not, your asking for a "fair deal" on last gen components--something millions of people get every day without begging YouTubers for them--kills whatever credibility you may have had, and makes it impossible for me to take your post seriously as anything but a beg.

 

I suggest taking your name and LinkedIn profile off of your post. I'd be embarrassed if someone doing background on me as part of a candidate vetting process found me throwing poop at the wall, then using said feces to ask for used hardware.

Linus's video isn't meant for audiences like you. 

It was meant for kids, even pre teens. 

What I saw in all those videos are just a dude trying TOO hard to impress others cos he can afford a piece of hardware that cost $100000 bucks. 

Their video quality had gone down to pretty much shitty jokes and stupid faces.

Are we seriously determining the mathematical logic of sarcasm? 

 

I wish I worked in Canada to get paid to mathematically determine how sarcastic, and snarky something was...

Agreed.

If OP wants more in depth network and thought, Eli The Computer Guy's older videos are what he should be looking for. 

Low Spec Gamer should also be good in determining what cheap supplies he could use at work. 

[mrchow19910319]

His videos feels like reality tv shows. 

Boring, but attention seeking. 

You had a LOL moment while watching it, then after the video ends, you were like : "wtf was that? wtf was I watching? "

 

It is harmless, but utter useless, tasteless.

Oh whoops, I thought when it said staff you weren't just a mods.

You're both unpaid laborers...

You should revolt in a union. The Moderator Union. Get some communism so you get paid the same as everyone else. (Sorry.. I am listening to this)

As someone who's actively lead a unionization effort, I regret to inform you that it doesn't work quite the way you think it does.

You know all those game devs that have been using shitty tactics like :

 

• 1st we flood our games with micro transactions and let money keep rolling in
• then we issue an apologise letter and cry our heart out and change things a bit and promise not to do it again

Linus is doing the same thing. I saw his live video and he said : "we know, we know you guys don't like the XXX video, we will change". 

It is basically the same thing :

• Put out click bait video with shitty thumbnail. views are up, money keep rolling in. 
• Issue out "apologies" and promise "we will never do it again"
• Change back the video format after some toned downed video.
• rinse and repeat 

 

You guys see the pattern here? If you are not, then I don't know what to say. 

I have nothing against LTT in general, only stating the truth.

It seems you are not his target audience then.
