Career
Sebastian was working for the now-defunct Canadian online computer store NCIX. He was asked by the company to be the host for its technology channel, which was designed to help demonstrate products. Sebastian was helped by an unidentified cameraman and editor who was on a tight budget and shooting videos with a camera borrowed from the company's president.
Sebastian was encouraged to create the Linus Tech Tips channel as a cheaper alternative to the NCIX channel due to high costs and poor viewership in the early days of the channel, allowing for lower production values without affecting the NCIX brand. TigerDirect and Newegg were branded rivals by the author. Linus Tech Tips was born on November 24, 2008. Following a dispute over company management, he eventually left NCIX, resulting in a deal in which he could keep the channel as long as he signed a non-compete clause.
