Luke Smith

Luke Smith is an Internet tech mini-celebrity known for making videos about suckless software, independent living in the woods and here and there about historical/political topics. He is bald, about 30 years old and lives in a rural location in Florida (exact coordinates have been doxxed but legally can't be shared here, but let's say you just say the road around his house bears his name). He has a podcast called Not Related! in which he discusses things such as alternative historical theories -- actually a great podcast. He has a minimalist 90s style website https://lukesmith.xyz/ and his own peertube instace where his videos can be watched if one doesn't want to watch them on YouTube. He is the author of LARBS and minimalist recipe site https://based.cooking/. Unfortunately he's a crypto and brave browser shill.

He's kind of based but also retarded to a great degree at times, for example he used to shill the Brave browser pretty hard before he realized it was actually a huge scam all along xD Also he's probably a Nazi.

His videos consist of normie-friendly tutorials on suckless software, rants, independent living, live-streams and podcasts. The typical Luke Smith video is him walking somewhere in the middle of a jungle talking about how retarded modern technology is and how everyone should move to the woods.

Luke studies PhD in linguistics but is very critical of academia -- he "speaks" several languages, though many of them to a low level with bad American accent and he can't sometimes even speak English correctly (using phrases such as "the reason is because" etc.). He is a right-winder and talks in meme phrases which makes his "content" kind of enjoyable. He despises such things as soydevry, bloat, "consoomerism" and soyence.
