Gamers Nexus - The Problem with Linus Tech Tips: Accuracy, Ethics, & Responsibility

Steve is an autist prick that got called out and had to remove his journalist credentials and is now involving his lawyer.

The funny thing is that Linus has to power to silence this insolent brat but he is too kind to do so.
And how would daddy Linus do that? Use his 100 million dollar company to sue GN for libel?

If he did that he would become internet public enemy number 1.

Why is it always fat, out of shape dudes that transition? It's never the 6'4" guy who hits the weights. Always those overweight ones with long hair who can't score so they transition thinking it'll be easier to get chicks. Looking at Jim Sterling and that BioWare director lol.
Umm well err. I'll just come out and say it and there was Tyler Reks the pro wrestler. So there was at least one.

People with body dysphoria live in a society that doesn't understand them and is often hostile to them. Emily was closeted for many years, possibly in part due to these reasons, which leads to large amounts of fear, self-doubt, and stress.

It's not surprising that someone with body and self image issues, who is dealing with the stress of not being able to freely live their lives, might also be at risk for secondary issues like depression and excessive weight gain.
 
Is it?

When is the last time his channel did anything that isn't bog-standard tech review or drama?

That channel used to be way better than this, like WAY better.

Is this supposed to be a joke? Steve or GN is doing exactly not that. Beyond the usual reviews he is doing consumer advocacy, educated the audience about legal issues, goes up to ASUS face to face, does collabs with analysis labs, does deep dives into tech bankruptcies like EK Waterblocks.

you know why.
It's the "ugly/fat" people who can't find a significant other or a group of friends.
So they find a group of other men online and they do whatever they can not to be alone.
It's normal. People don't want to be alone

Probably obesity is a symptom of other underlying issues. Same with their identity crisis.

Could but it also equally could be constant ridicule and rejection making them go bat shit crazy. You don't know and I don't know.

They’re called transmaxxers.

I’ve met a few transitioned individuals who you wouldn’t know were biologically different and they’re fine. They live their life and actually try to avoid the attention, they’re awesome.

Then you have dudes who just put on dresses and scream for the attention.

Dont have to, just another youtuber sucking up to narcissist steve who is known to selectively select drama content.

What do you think this email proves? Everyone seems to acknowledge Steve had been working on the Asus piece for at least a month prior, probably longer because other youtubers at the time were vocal about distancing themselves from Asus.

What does this guy think he was owed? A shout out? Was Steve supposed to just throw out months of investigative work because some small youtuber published his single bad experience first? Was the linking of Asus and Scam as terms now some sort of copy written phrase? The fucking thumbnail claim is hilarious considering both channels use the most generic youtube thumbnail style possible with the typical cutout of an expressive shocked / puzzled face and some keywords / title.

People seem to lose their minds around the topic of Gamers Nexus / Steve.

Edit: Also what did this dipshit expect to collaborate with Steve on? All he had to complain about was the relatively poor condition of the RMA card he received. That might be shitty customer service but it hardly seems like a scam. Steve had done a much deeper dive into Asus inventing repair costs and their agents just making shit up on the fly, you know actual scam processes. The blackbird guy got his RMA as far as I'm aware... He had to appeal to a dictionary definition then just declared his experience was a scam lmfao. This asshole even had the ego to introduce himself by mentioning that his wife had written 7 books and Steve has the ego? Dude had 23 videos at the time and only 1.6k subs, I'm not surprised Steve decided to ignore his email. If anyone sent me a cold introduction email as a professional telling me irrelevant information like their wife had published 7 books I'd probably ignore them too.

Looks like they are talking about the email address that GN hasn't used in years, and everyone knew about, including Linus.
But that then Linus decided to use, just to pretend they informed GN, while knowing that no one was going to read it.

You can try to pretend that it's GN and Steve's fault, but the reality is that Linus has been caught lying so many times.
And Steve has all the receipts for all the lying and misinformation.
FFS, Linus is so incompetent, that he gets his cannel hacked on a regular base.
 
Accusing GN of narcissism in a thread about Linus is a bit redundant isn't it. We know what his unfiltered opinions were on the controversies he's had laid at his door, he has a habit of giving them immediately and they've not been a good look.
