The JFK edition is the one that writes back and to the left, isn't it?
What do you even say at this point. Hey Linus, maybe you should complete your 10 unfinished projects first.
There is no way that they don't do work outside of youtube because there is zero reason for them to need to expand and move - hell they could probably cut staff and not feel it. I cannot imagine that youtube and merch is enough to keep funding these multi-million dollar moves. Are they funded by the canadian government?
He's spent so much money trying to keep up with GN and still has nothing to show for 99% of it. Wheres your sound chamber, linus? How about those PSU tests? I'm sure the 3 things labs has put out has been worth the investment.
You can bet your ass linus' begging for taxpayers money on every occasion he has, but even without that he'd be doing alright. Selling your soul is quite profitable. If i recall correctly JayzTwoCents was offered $100.000 for shilling EKWB for 4 videos, and while his channel has like 4 milion subs he doesn't pull insane views. Meanwhile LTT's videos hover around 1mil-2mil views and usually have 2 sponsors per video, not to mention situations when the whole vid is sponsored. And when your fanbase is big enough merch sells like crazy. Their overpriced screwdriver has over 8000 reviews on their site, which is insane.
Why? Staffing-wise they aren't growing. Unless their staff are physically growing beyond the capacity of the building, but with the shedding of Anthony recently, I would've thought that'd buy them at least 3 desks worth of space.
Sets and parallel productions, maybe? But I can't imagine it'd be worthwhile to spend untold millions and a huge disruption in production to just have more total sets, over just using more multipurpose or quickly reset options inside of what you already have.
He constantly says he has "over 100" employees now on the podcast whenever referring to his company's expansion, so I'm not sure what's up with the official count. I know he doesn't include Floatplane employees on the LTT staff page, but he does include Creator Warehouse employees there. So idk
Maybe Linus is counting contractors and casual staff as part of his over "over 100"
That video was pretty tame. Crazy to think how sanitised LTT must be to operate as a large organisation in this space.
Lets get real, the name itself is stupid and nobody will switch to it. In no way does "floatplane" denote a video sharing platform.
DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN
Someone found they were doing some corporate training / product training videos.
Yep, I cannot think of a single video that was made from something they bought and not sponsored.
If the meat hook abortion Linus and Co created didn't push someone away from trying this then they probably would have drank gasoline and died within the next year.
Who the hell sees a ripped apart PS3, bare voltage divider, and a life span of fifteen minutes and thinks fun family project?
They have a separate channel for that. Assuming the test equipment is calibrated, which it should be for at least a few more months, it's pretty good info. Would prefer it in written format instead of AI voice but it's there.
I can only imagine he wants to bring more of the warehousing of their tat in house. Isn't most of Labs still empty?
