Linus himself has no engineering background, but his team has many engineers. They do not make mistakes for lack of knowledge. What they need is more quality control over their videos

    Linus used to work for a computer store^[1], and has 15+ years experience doing this sort of stuff. I would say he's more knowledgable than most

    He was a college dropout sales rep at NCIX, the equivalent of any random dude working at Microcenter, who moonlighted at making low effort youtube videos. His 15+ years of "experience" are him figuring out literally everything as he went.

    He's more knowledgeable than the average layman, but he's a total fucking amateur at everything he does compared to the actual experts, often including his own employees who he frequently ignores or talks over.

    I think Linus is a relatively decent, somewhat funny guy, honestly. But he's not fit for his roles besides being an on camera personality.
