He's not. Anyone who's worked with him will tell you he's a total dick, and an alcoholic.

Really? Well shit

Jarod Miller "The Animal Expert" does the nervous excited energy MUCH better:

lol....ok, seems like a nice guy to me.

Viewers said the same thing about Ellen Degenerate.

Yeah....I get it. Appearances can be deceiving.

Adam Corolla > Jimmy Kimmel or Jimmy Kemmel

I mean just look at who he works with. Just by association that makes him great.

How is the show called?

Adam Corolla & Juicy Areolas?

 

[Diddy X]

Looks pretty calm for a nerd, I would be like "fuck everybody, I wanna go home"

 

[bender]

Fallon is very likable.

 

[MayauMiao]

huh, wasn't aware of this meme. I'll use it on some Phil Spencer worshiping threads.

 

[FeralEcho]

Does anyone even give a shit about this asshole? He's an awful person to his staff and after hearing from Nexus what he did to that poor company's prototype,I lost any respect I had for him.

Anyone interested to see the real linus should watch this video

 

[Ribi]

Fuck Jimmy Fallon. How that mf got a TV show I'll never know and the people who watch him are equally fucking stupid and unfunny

Yeah but everyone moved on and the most important thing is he is taking action to fix the issues.

 

[Pidull]

TIL people actually like Fallon here. Bro is so fake and not even a good host. Sure, he could be worse like James Corden, but he's still not worth watching.

It's a shame Conan doesn't do late night anymore, he was phenomenal at it.

 

[unclbenn]

Love Linus and most of his team. It's a great way to get caught up with tech when I'm eating dinner. I know the scandal about fudging the numbers and pushing out way to many videos but he was forth coming and now his videos are better. Don't get me wrong, I watch a bunch of other tech YouTubers but Linus is just comfort food for me.

[Sgt.Asher]

Does anyone remember the late show with Craig Ferguson? Best late night host, and cohost

 

[Syphon Filter]

how come people hate linus? he seems cool.

 

[saintjules]

how come people hate linus? he seems cool.

Cuz of his boisterous personality

Or this

 

[PonyStation4]

He's a bad person that flaunts his lack of knowledge.

[ValiantInstance]

Find it hard to care about Linus these days. I was subbed 10 years ago when it was just a geeky channel about gaming pc builds and other tech. No one forced him to expand and turn it into a 100 million dollar conglomerate.

He could’ve still made more money than he could ever spend keeping it manageable, but now it just comes across as corporate and inauthentic. Going on Fallon gives off the same vibe, people only go on shows like that if they are safe and predictable guests.

I think that avi of him posing as Steve Jobs speaks volumes about the man.

I am watching some Parks and Rec and I read this as Little Sebastian

Here's a three quarters of an hour video.

Please. Just post what the issues are if you want people to care.

I already said the big issue though not in detail,he stole a small company's prototype that was offered to him just so he can test it,instead he auctioned it off. I do understand that the video is long but it goes into everything wrong with Linus and his channel.He's an asshole.

Not only that, LTT completely trashed the prototype they were "testing", that it doesn't work properly at all.

...the mental midgets were testing the prototype on a different model of GPU it was intended for. Gee, I wonder why it doesn't work.

 

[GymWolf]

Very likable

Has the charisma of a plank, imo

Is he a germophobe or some shit?

Yep, LTT completely ruined a tiny startup’s prototype, fucked them over in review due to incompetence, and then laughed about it till Steve brought that shit to light.

Showed Linus as a complete asshole. There were some staff issue allegations as well.

And you can just now ask Gemini or another GPT for a summary, takes 5 sec if you can’t be arsed to fast scroll through a video.

His videos are trash still from technical perspective and he outputs a ton of crap through his many channels. Don’t see why the hell they improved.

And he is still the same asshole that did all the shit in the first place. The apology video was obvious and then it’s of course life as normal.

Yeah,he's just unredeemable as far as I'm concerned after doing such a thing. Just despicable behaviour.

Apologies from these type of people always remind me of

There's no sense of responsibility in their apologies, it's just the most corporate type of message that's basically a "wash your hands clean of the situation" type of deal for them.

 

[U n i o n 0015]

Good grief. He sounds like a nervous wreck

I couldn't watch more than a minute.

Like dude, you probably get more 10x more views than the Tonight Show gets these days, there's no reason to be excited about legacy TV.

 

[mrmeh]

I would pay good money to watch Linus and Fallon beat each other to death

 

[ValiantInstance]

Yeah,he's just unredeemable as far as I'm concerned after doing such a thing. Just despicable behaviour.

I approach it from a different view. Forget how callously he's acted toward some people such as Billet Labs, he's grown his channel into a company that sacrificed quality control for growth. He appears to see no other option but to grow this thing as fast as possible.

I really don't get it, there are other Youtube channels with tens of millions of subs and they still operate small teams putting out a couple of videos a week. It's really offputting and I have no interest in any of the thousands of channels he has at this point.

 

[CoreyFlawless]

to think. To make it on tv

Fame got to his head.

 

[ValiantInstance]

Not the first, won't be the last.

I think having a big channel really reveals the true character of a person. Steve is the complete opposite. He has no interest in making friends and rubbing shoulders with famous people. If something annoys him, he'll call it out.

 

[fersnake]

its so cringe that i havent and wont be watching any time soon

 

[nowhat]

Regarding the LTT/GN drama, that one video - which, yes, is very damning - gets posted often. But few seem to post the followup:



It's the first segment. And Linus completely tries to weasel himself out of any responsibility.

 

[SHA]

He's irrelevant, he hates consoles, give false informations about pc reviews, other tech channels are basically farming and build reputation for themselves from Linus wrongs, his podcast is super neutral, can't give his 2 cents and be honest basically about anything, he's opinion-less and irrelevant.

 

[Dr. Samuel Hayden]

All late night hosts should be deported... to the sun.

 

[Sophist]

Fuck Jimmy Fallon. How that mf got a TV show I'll never know and the people who watch him are equally fucking stupid and unfunny

Please, don't say that. Jimmy is an important figure of American television.

True,Steve has character. Hard to come by these days when it comes to youtube personalities that would sell their own mother just to get more popular.

 

[Ribi]

He can go work at Costco the unfunny fuck

 

[cartman414]

Don't care for Fallon, but he does get points for being the one person to low-key shout-out Retro Game Challenge.

Linus could have stood to be a teensy-bit less tech speak.

 

[darrylgorn]

 

[RoboFu]

No one is watching mainstream tv anymore huh.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

I thought it was a good appearance and good for exposure. I think you could be The tech Guy or various of these dumb shows. I'm not really a fan of the politics and the leaning of these late night shows, but I do like the role and the energy Linus brings.

 

[evanft]

Is he still trying to do that whole labs thing even after that dude he hired to run it left?

 

[Chiggs]

I honestly think Steve is a bit jealous of Linus., and he's not so innocent in this whole thing, either. Why jealously?

• Linus can speak eloquently.
  • He's not Mr. Mumbles like Steve.
• Linus is marketable.
• Linus has a bigger channel.

And then you had Linus opening his labs, which directly challenged Steve.
