Грустный стример

Грустный стример (Sad streamer, Sad Linus) – мем с ютубером Linus Tech Tips с наушниками на голове, который отрешенно смотрит вперед.

Происхождение

Кадр, ставший мемом, взят из видео американского стримера Linus Tech Tips. Ролик под названием I’ve been thinking of retiring (“Подумываю об уходе”) вышел на ютубе 22 января 2020 года. В нем блогер объявил, что набрал 10 миллионов подписчиков и собирается прекратить свою деятельность.

На следующий день реддитор chickenfart29 опубликовал первый мем с лицом Лайнуса.

Формат быстро стал популярным и разошелся по соцсетям. Кадр из видео используют преимущественно как реакцию на что-то, что вводит в ступор. В некоторых случаях портрет Лайнуса совмещают с Моргающим парнем и Майком Вазовски, чтобы показать коллективное недоумение.

Мемы со стримером дошли и до рунета. Их публикуют паблики “Орленок”, Cringe, Saygon и другие.

Значение

Мем с грустным стримером иллюстрирует реакцию человека на что-то глупое или неловкое. Например, когда твой друг пошутил, а тебе за него стыдно.

В целом этот шаблон дублирует другие мемы-реакции. Например, Майка Вазовски с лицом Салли или Моргающего парня.

Популярные стримеры часто становятся мемами. Например, CallMeCarson, который расплакался во время игры в Minecraft.

Linus Media Group (LMG) also has two correlated channels: Techquickie, which consists of quick takes and explanations on various technological topics (sample below, left), and Channel Super Fun, which contains other LMG vlogs, pranks, and other extra content (sample below, right).

Besides videos, LMG is also working on a website called Floatplane: a content hosting site that concentrates more on delivering towards the audience, similar and competing sites like YouTube. The website is based on their monthly paid forum subscription «Floatplane Club,» [14] and has been the topic in numerous WAN Show episodes. Luke announced the website’s ongoing construction in the channel on April 21, 2017.

Copyright Claims Controversy

In February 2019, YouTube reportedly introduced changes to Content ID algorithm [15] , leading to a number of tech-related channels on YouTube receiving automated copyright claims on behalf of Linus Media Group. Unlike copyright strikes, copyright claims do not involve penalties for the channel they are filed against with the exception of the revenue for the video the claim was filed against being redirected to the original copyright holder.

Following the automated claims, several YouTube tech channels, including The Linux Gamer [16] (video now deleted) and Carey Holzman [17] (shown below), posted videos accusing Linus Media Groups of trying to harm them, with some confusing the copyright claims with copyright strikes.

On February 15th, Linus Sebastian made a post [18] on LinusTechTips forum clarifying the difference between a copyright strike and a copyright claim and voicing support for derivative content made by the Linus Tech Tips community.

We have noticed a significant uptick in copyright claims in the last couple of weeks, though, with some of them being in really really old content which suggests youtube has made some kind of change to ContentID and we’ve been trying to figure out how to address it.
We are generally pretty supportive of the creation of derivative works by our community and we want to make sure that they aren’t being algorithmically claimed, but this change has caused other issues for us too.

On February 17th, Linus Sebastian held a live stream on YouTube clarifying the issue and asking those affected by the automated claims to reach out to Linus Media Group instead of creating negative reaction videos. [19]

On February 19th, 2019, Redditor [20] Feurrado created an appreciation post dedicated to Linus Sebastian on /r/pcmasterrace subreddit. The post gained over 42,000 upvotes in two days. On the next day, Redditor [21] basil78 created a thread in /r/OutOfTheLoop subreddit inquiring about the controversy.

History

The channel was created on November 24th, 2008 [1] by Sebastian as an extension and cheaper alternative to his former employer’s channel NCIX Tech Tips, due to its low viewership and high production costs during its initial startup. [2] His first video was uploaded the next day, which consists the results of his overclocking of an AMD processor. The early days of his channel mostly consisted of unboxing various computer parts and peripherals (examples shown below).

His production company, Linus Media Group, was founded by himself, Luke Lafreniere, Edzel Yago, and Brandon Lee in January of 2013. [3] Since then, the channel has gained a larger crew and higher quality in video production, along with more variety on content such as PC builds guides, build logs and tech reviews. Despite these changes, they still occasionally make «classic unboxing» and tech overview videos in their daily upload schedule.
