Nah, Luke is paid considerably well. I think his compensation is probably tied in part to Floatplane. They probably have kept it quiet to not disgruntle the other OG employees
Nobody is living in a shit condition condo for years as a secret ploy with his employer so that other employees don't find out how super secretly well paid you really are.

This is ignoring that, judging by their website rule, they obviously set up an (illegal) culture in their workplace that you do not ever talk about salaries.

I'm a bit younger than him and I'm terrified by idea of living with some strangers again. I'm too old for that shit, and as long as I can afford it - it's out of the picture

As soon as I could I move to living alone from local dorm equivalent I did. I can't even imagine having to have room mates while having been working for years... You have really done something wrong in that case. Either with work or location.
 
He has a youtube channel with 16 million subscribers. If I were him I'd find a way to rebrand it to not be centered on him, sell the company, and let the buyer downsize. Walk away and retire, I'm sure he has enough money in the bank to just live in interest the rest of his life.
He was given the opportunity and turned it down, including making a sob video about retirement. Family, kids, friends yada yada.

That thing is years old at this point, and it's obvious now that it was just crocodile tears and the man is just an utter egomaniac who couldn't let the spotlight go.
 
Nah, Luke is paid considerably well. I think his compensation is probably tied in part to Floatplane. They probably have kept it quiet to not disgruntle the other OG employees (what's left of them now) but the memes how low Luke was paid were just annoying Linus. I think that Luke could earn even more as mid-level manager in a tech MNC through stock options etc., but he likes larpin' as a CTO to give him status and is paid enough to have a smug grin on his face when the topic of his compensation is brought up. And working for LTT is probably fun when you're the cult-leader's favorite lackey and go-to guy.

That said, it is smart by Linus to fairly compensate Luke, because the channel will die if Luke leaves. The core audience watches the WAN show and Luke's disappearance can't be swept under the carpet like all the other disappearances, lately. The core will whittle away and they'll be truly at the mercy of the algorithm then. From what I've seen of Luke, he is a good guy and doesn't like inter-personal conflict; whenever Linus mentions reconciliation with GamersNexus, Luke always nods his head approvingly and looks relieved.
I never even considered that Luke could leave, he's as integral to the brand to me as Linus is. He's the most interesting and intelligent person left at the company. If he ever leaves it's completely GG.
 
Nothing adds up
Low trust society/families, those are getting more and more common. I've known people like that, one of my school friend was kicked from his parents house when he was 18, he lived with me for a few years because he was studying and working minimum wage but after he graduated and got into a good paid job(more than what his father was making), they wanted him back home.

Unfortunately, this is common and a lot of times the kids follow the parents footsteps, I'm glad that my family is one that was born and raised on a generational family house, so if someday I need to come to my parents/brothers home because any reason, they would receive me with open arms

He has adult braces now I guess?

The only situation I see Luke voluntarily leaving in is if he manages to buy floatplane out from under Linus. Its clearly his baby, and while he's obviously comfortable under LTT, if floatplane was threatened I do think he'd step up to try and salvage it.

I think you're right. Luke and Linus are best friends, but Floatplane is the only real thing he has to show for 10 years of service.
 
The braces are getting very annoying and apparent now in videos. I never noticed his teeth before but now it makes me wonder how much indian immigrant dick he sucked over the years to warrant the heavy duty alignment.

I wonder whether the braces are the point, not the alignment.

He's obsessed with looking young for his zoomer audience and braces are youth coded. Maybe they're a fashion accessory.

He's getting old, and he's doing that thing where they start panicking over their looks. He's got the money to 'do something about it' and so off he went. Its not a complicated fashion technique. Just usually by the time people start panicking over aging looks, they've got some receding hair or bad skin going on. He had to get a bit creative to show his insecurity off.
 
Why couldn't he just go tranny like a normal person living in this era? Did Tech Shrek scare him off?
Because, in a rare situation for youtubers, his inner motivations don't appear to include sexual degeneracy, despite what his underwear modelling would present. It really is just self ego and self presentation, perhaps combined with some discomfort about having to be the face of LTT still after all the alternative presenters failed. Growing old and losing your looks is hard enough, doing so when you're also supposed to be the head of a very youth-driven hobby tech market maker is even harder.

Never forget that a consistent paycheck is worth way more than a few good months of YouTube bucks followed by zero or working freelance. I think a lot of people forget that. So even though the salaries may seem low, they're getting extreme stability out of it and getting to work on something they presumably enjoy doing.
 
Idk, braces are often recommended to adults if the dentist thinks the alignment will cause troubles chewing in the future. They are expensive so many push off getting them until they can afford them, or until they don't give a fuck about the fact they will walk around with metal in their mouth for a few years.

I feel like if he wanted braces for the looks of it, he would get metal ones and not ceramic. I know plenty of adults with braces or invisialign, there is nothing wrong with taking care of your dental issues. Weird nitpick. Guy is retarded enough to shit on him for a bunch of other things, the braces are not it tbh.

You could shit on him for those faggy earrings, for example.

The problem with "point and laugh" threads like these is that you eventually run out of new things to point and laugh at,so you find minor nitpicks to point and laugh at,but the problem doubly there is you get do used to nitpicks you ignore actually new things to point and laugh at. Strange innit?
