    Yeah I’d believe it. The fucker refuses to give warranties for $300 backpacks and literally says “trust me bro”. I’m a good guy. If I give warranties then what happens if I die and there’s something wrong with the backpack and then my wife and kids will be in trouble and I don’t want that. Then makes T-shirts making fun of people asking for warranties. Fucking asshole capitalist pig.

      The “trust me bro” guarantee is a lifetime warranty on the backpack. This happened after people were upset the backpack wasn’t initially listed with a warranty and a similar but smaller tech review channel (Gamers Nexus) has had warranties on their merch for a few years now

      Every time how he runs LTT comes up on the WAN show he just falls back to some variation of the “I’m a benevolent boss so my workers will never need any of these safeguards” and Luke just sits there hemming and hawing. Weird guy who is both publicly pro-union but would also be offended if his own employees unionised :linus:

    Looks like Linus’s Tech Tips is nuking this topic on their forums now, but the drama is spreading on Twitter.

    [CW: Racism/Sexism in linked Twitter post replies]

    I actually gave him the benefit of the doubt for a long time- made excuses for him but now that his incel army wants to show up in my feed- nah, in retrospect Linus 100% thought I was going to suck his dick for access to Floatplane. Fortunately, he has you to suck it instead.

    I saw this yesterday and I absolutely believe it. He’s strikes me as a chud and I have never met a white man married to an Asian woman who wasn’t a POS.
