No. I'm just a "level 1" tech that have been doing this for many years, and I've always seen him and most of his channels as unprofessional, with the exception of the person now named Emily.

Linus himself didn't seem like a great tech to me, mostly because he seem to struggle with anything else than Windows. I don't care that much about hardware because I have been gravitating around hosting, mainframes (IBM i) and corporate so his channels and benchmarks are not of great interest to me. But that experience helped me see in his other tech videos that he was not serious.

And the way he "used" his employees to do anything unrelated to their job definition was weird. Like, I'm a tech and can install cable, but there's people that you should hire for that. It's not my job to move desks around or paint the walls while also having to do my regular tasks. Should have been the same with his employees.

He gave the impression of being someone that will use the "we're just one big family" excuse to get his employees to do anything, while talking superficially about Windows computers and pushing merch.

I ended up asking YouTube not to recommend any of his channels.
