YouTubers know nearly nothing about the recommendation algorithm, which is a giant ML model with thousands of features. Google has published several papers on how the algorithm works (search for “YouTube” here), though they don’t mention the features used in the models for obvious reasons. Based on my experience it tends to weight watch history really heavily. So if people watch your videos a lot, lots of your new videos will be recommended to them, but if they don’t, fewer of your videos will be shown to them, even if they are subscribed to you. This implies that it would be better to make fewer higher quality videos than more lower quality videos. As an example, compare the average views to subscriber ratio of channels like StuffMadeHere and NileRed to LinusTechTips. The first two channels upload rarely and frequently get significantly more views than subscribers, while Linus struggles to get more than 15% of his subscribers to watch a given video.

If a YouTuber can’t show data explaining how a trick works, don’t believe them.

how about that whole need to make a video every week, i thought that was bullshit or some early youtube nonsense. i haven't heard much about that whole minimum in like a decade.

Sounds like he got the pussy cure to me.
At least that answers my question as to why he shacked up with a yellow. Too much of a sad faggot to get a real girl!

As far as using her money to start his business, eh, that happens. God only knows why she saw something in him though.

white dick is apparently human alcohol, most races of women can't handle it once they get some. like _ color beats size.

I agree they've tried to ruin it for that reason, but it's fallen apart in it's ability to actually generally recommend things. It will feed you endless volumes of garbage content unrelated to what you actually put watch hours into even if you aren't watching political videos. Searching things without even watching anything that shows up will lead to whatever was searched being fed to you. Not to mention YT search works even worse than Google these days, but that's another topic.

my problem is why not just keep the old algorithm from before the hitpieces and just go back into it now that a lot of that misinfo whining has vanished with biden in power

Sounds like the issue with Linus' smart switches is a user error. Yet so many retards out there worship him like some sort of tech god...

i'm sure he 100% was a tech god....back in 2006. 15 years is a long time, plus he was smart back then because so few people knew the basic shit he did. help desk in 2006 truely was like in the IT crowd, no one thought to turn off/turn on and other lame stuff.

I'm not sure how buying commercial works at all, should people be investigating the building for safety before a transaction occurs? Seems like some poor planning if they spent so much on a building only to get hit with a high start-up cost. Maybe they knew about the initial costs and were just playing it up for the video?

probably for clicks, anyone buying anything expensive does a walk through specifically so they could see these problems up close.

God Anandtech....that makes me sad. To see the shell of a site they've become.

Linus has to be, quite frankly, batshit insane. Spending $11+ million on a building that needs another mil+ in renovations, when you have 50 employees making youtube videos. His company is way too bloated, he could easily cut down to 10-15 people and put out more content at the same time if he cut the dead weight (look what GN manages with 3? 4? guys). Especially when they already had a space that worked fine.

the economics of new media means you never need more than 15 employees, not counting "the talent" who's value is more in who they bring to the channel. you'd be surprised how small scale a lot of cable shows production staff is, if actual tv shows with 5 million view averages have about a dozen people making it; why does a youtube channel need 50 people?

According to their website, they do media production work for third parties as well. They've mentioned work for clients a few times, without making names of course.

He didn't mention that the components were various lengths of lumber, random assortments of sheet steel, and a copper mallet. And somehow it will work for a while, but then explode.

There might be some electrocity in there too. Bear in mind that AvE is short for Arduino vs Evil, so it's not like Uncle Bumblefuck hasn't seen a component or two in his lifetime.

Is Linus on crack? Because he seems to think merch and waterbottle sales will keep him a float forever. Like others have said, sponsors are fickle and ads on yt come and go. And no one uses floatplane or whatever.

The only non-LMG creator on Floatplane that I've heard of is DankPods, and that's purely for his drum streams.

That makes perfect sense. "This is the Athlon 64 and for 32bit code it's got double the registers or something!"

Linus is the Jake/Logan Paul of tech youtube. Except not a rapist. Still gay though. And he doesn't challenge shortwave radio enthusiasts to compete in a PC building challenge.

I await the video where his water heater leaks, a pipe bursts in the maintenance room, and everything is destroyed.

You're a simple construction worker trying to finish a house in Vancouver where you're used to dealing with rude chinese millionaires who shit on everything you do just to haggle. You're doing all this before a looming recession hits and ruins the housing market and jeopardizes your career, but you see the customer is some faggot recording his life all the time, opening computers while you're trying to finish your work, has a bitch tits manservant walking around with him, sometimes brings in wagies to do his work, and has three kids walking around, one of whom is showing signs of psychopathy and harming animals.

In the most recent Wan Show in the very beginning he talks about how the former owner of his new building were harassed by his fans who found out who was there. He condemns it and says it just made the situation worse but that they are letting the realtors talk between the two to alleviate the problems he has with things being taken or not fulfilled in purchasing the warehouse. But bitch, you knew exactly what you were doing showing that building inside and out, you've devolved into a Pokimane letting your simps harass people for you. If I was the other company I'd flat out say this is what you get I'm not dealing with you anymore, now I've got autists harassing me because you didn't get a sweet deal, go fuck yourself.

Heating your pool using the heat from your Server room is pretty stupid.

He hasn't proven them wrong yet. The entire video was explaining the idea, then a "demo" of how a temperature switch would work in a 5 gallon bucket.

The whole time they were drawing the diagram, with multiple loops and exchanges and tubes buried in concrete in 5 places, the only thing I could think of was how much it will cost to fix anything that goes wrong. It's one thing to troubleshoot a PC loop in the "whole room cooling" gimmick videos, where all the tubing is visible in a bathtub. It's another thing to get at a leak buried in the insulation of your swimming pool's concrete walls.

Sigh

you dont need to fucking put shit into the concert shell of your swiming pool. you just need a heat exchanger aka a radiator to run water through.

I would put a raidator in a insulated box and have a fan run air through it.

But I would still be nervous and all fuck about having a water pipe going in a server room or anywhere in my house. I would most likley want some kinda check valves and one way valves,

I dont know if linus has a basement or crawspace but fuck I would build a an attached shack for a server room and to try that shit.

okay also I ve heard this idea before....from a dude who had weed room.
