Deleting your entire youtube channel, your #1 source of income, is a bit too much for a stunt, even for Linus.

Apparently youtube makes up a small percentage of their revenue. They make way more on their store (according to them).

I really like mine but I'm a tremendous fuckin dork that takes cameras, lenses, laptops and tablets everywhere and all the padding and structure is appreciated. It mainly gets slung in the boot of my car or under the seat in front on a plane.

Yeah, but people go there because of youtube. Nobody's buying the new non-ratcheting screwdriver if youtube isn't there to tell them it's out.

What is the better outcome, that it turns out YouTube retains copies of videos deleted from it's service or that Linus just lost all his uploaded videos?

Also curious, what were the private videos? Linus Jake sextape?

LTT's Youtube channel is back up. It was actually back up a little while ago but at that time a lot of weird or old videos that probably were not supposed to be public were public, and everything had a timestamp of yesterday instead of whenever it was really posted.

A bunch of the stuff I clicked on seems to be excised from my history, but we still have boats city:

Sound like it was the old evil.pdf.exe trick. Never hide extensions.

Jul 17, 2004

there's a similar trick using a unicode character that can reverse the direction of characters after it, so evilfdp.exe appears to be named evilexe.pdf. so unhiding file extensions won't help, and you have to keep an eye on the file type column instead.

Apparently this might be the hack, explained by some other YouTuber that's been affecting YouTube for a while:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xf9ERdBkM5M

It sounds like someone at LTT may have been a victim of a sponsorship scam, and downloaded malware. The malware sends the active session cookie to the hacker (in this case, the logged in YT account), and then the hacker is already logged in and can fully access the YouTube account. No MFA needed.

I'm just shocked that a channel that size doesn't have some sort of brand manager who handles incoming sponsorships but who doesn't also have access to the YT account because they presumably don't need it.

I guess the trick is to make a fake brand such that exe doesn't look out of place. "Hi, we're Frexe, we do The Best RGB Tea Cosies. Please read sponsor-proposal-Frexe.pdf" might even catch me out. You can apprently block executables with the unicode character but it requires using GPO.

Data like this needs to be readable and writable by the user and is stored in a place like AppData, so it'll even work on basic accounts. The only way to reduce risk to it really is to not save any state when you close the browser such as always using the private mode, or having the browser set up to delete site data when closed, but if you have the browser open at the time you run it, it will still be able to read the files that haven't been deleted yet. Even a browser that stored everything in memory would probably be exploitable by finding the process' in use memory and reading/parsing it.

I’m not objecting to Linus getting out of bed rear end naked. It’s obvious from the video (the footage and what he says) that he was at his computer for hours trying to figure this out. I don’t know why his wife, who is also on the footage and is shown going back and forth, didn’t grab him some basic clothes, is all. And I’m not saying it from the perspective of “oh Linus is a manchild” or “it’s her job to help him”, solely seeing another person in distress grab them some basic clothing is all.

The secret truth is he's always naked on camera, subjecting his employees to having to CGI clothes on to him. It's just this time they didn't have time for more than blurring...

Clothes are Linus's power limiter. He wears clothes to make himself stupid so he can make dumb videos. When it's real problem solving time, he's always fully nude. This is why LTT employees tend to leave after a crisis.

Criticising Linus for being naked in his own house is a strange hill to die on.

Criticising him for using security footage of that as B-roll footage, that I do agree with.
