Linus honestly never struck me as someone capable of running a company with over a hundred people. He strikes me as someone who never grew out of their teen gamer phase and is in way over his head, running around like a chicken with its head cut off trying to stay on top of things. Whenever I see him, I’m still seeing the shy, quiet kid from NCIX. That’s where he really needs to be. Being the nerd that he is, showing off something cool and nerdy. Not this company man hustle shit.
It’s good that he finally got an actual CEO with experience. Let’s sew how it goes, I guess.
Have some commas ,
You can’t just give commas out like that in this economy!
Just handing out free commas? What’s next?! Full blown Commamunism?!!
We’ll be homeless by Friday at this rate.
I’m never going to financially recover from this.
The ecommany is doing just fine!
Same but unfortunately the YT algorithm doesn’t care about what we want and since we live in this digital capitalist hellscape nothing’s gonna change +__+

Nightmare fuel. Degenerates like them belong on a cross.
Alright then, should we topple capitalism to fix LTT? Yay or nay?
I just want mindless fun tech videos and don’t care so much about the accuracy of video cards I can’t afford.
My overall faith in any YouTube video being statistically accurate is low. I value the info in general but would never rely on one YouTubers video as a conclusive source and still do my own research if I’m going to buy.
That said if I had to do a trust level comparison of say Fox News vs LMG I would pick LMG any day. That’s a YouTuber vs national “news” network.
Honestly, I wouldn’t mind ltt turning into the “Top Gear of tech”, they’re kinda halfway there already, but they need to clean house. The accusations against them have gone from, “that’s pretty unprofessional” to “dear God what the fuck?”
I hope they conduct interviews through third party and kick out some of the perps. Madison gave us a glimpse into an unliveable environment and they need to re-evaluate everyone.
I haven’t seen to many employees actually complain about being poorly paid? Unless I just missed something
They all said they are pushing out videos far too quick, and Madison Reeves pointed to instances of working for free on weekends, being overworked, and problems with payment.
I’m not saying it’s definite, but it smells like there’s some truth to it.
I’m willing to work my ass off under pressure and make mad bank, I’m also willing to do a fair days work for an industry standard fair wage. I am not willing to work my ass off under pressure for an industry standard fair wage, or even a good industry wage. It had better be fucking bank.
I think a lot of them could go elsewhere, make more and do less, but I think some people just thrive in that kind of environment. I’m one of them, I hate when its slow at work. But also sometimes… every few months we catch a few dull weeks and NGL as much as I hate it, I need it.
I want zero LTT videos.
Fuck anyone and everyone who fosters that sort of environment.What is LTT?
LTT: Linus Tech Tips (YouTube channel)
LMG: Linus Media Group (Company that runs LTT YouTube channel)
Hope you’re ready to pay for Floatplane then because YouTube algo says that ain’t gonna fly chief
Agreed. First LMG needs to clean house to make it a mentally safe work environment so there is never a repeat of Madison’s case … cause wtf. Second, an apology to Billet Labs … cause wtf. Third, they need to slow down the pace of work so the employees can focus on quality and accuracy.
The rate at which they pump out content is, in my opinion, unsustainable for the employees and unsustainable for the semi-regular viewer as well
I’ve noticed my recommendations have largely stopped showing me LTT videos over the past several months, probably because youtube recognizes that im not watching a large % of their videos, so why would youtube recommend the next one? i feel like their pace is thinning out their semi-regular viewers and leaving a highly devout community. To me, the semi-regulars are what add balance to the community rather than it becoming an echo chamber.
I think by slowing down, LTT will be in a much healthier happier place in the long term, even if the numbers don’t obviously show it. That said, idk if I can see their videos in the same light knowing what’s happened behind the curtains. I think for rn, that might be it for me.
Who needs quality and happiness when you’re on the advertiser money gravy train?
The whole YouTube model is shovel shit, get paid. None of the big content farms will change while it’s making them rich. That godawful dystopian video about the Cash App Compound wasn’t an outlier. It’s where they’re all trying to get to.
People are no longer making videos for other people. They’re making videos to please algorithms.
Third, they need to slow down the pace of work so the employees can focus on quality and accuracy.

It may’ve been sustainable if they had all 120 people (or more) working in groups on videos, but at this point there’s a question to be asked if at this point they’re tech youtube channel or full blown video making company.

Yes, this is the best. I mean, I’ve never really seen any of their videos, but I just hope the talented workers go do their own things.
Hopefully far more natural delays like polish and finding inspiration, than bad delays like unexpected PTO and accidents.
Otherwise… Hell yes, cheesily-moral Sonic!
