His car videos do feel kinda kino. I use to think I didn't like him, but I think it was more LTT than him. The Alex and Andy dynamic really works. I mean, I'm not going to pay $400 for a billet shifter assembly, but watching them install one was kinda neat. His BMW project is pretty fun to watch, and it also seems like an insane amount of work.

I always liked him and the janky water cooling solutions. I really used to wonder why he ended up at LTT in the first place, but glad he broke free from that hell hole. Watched a few recent vids and it's just fags and zoomies now.

There's not a great deal of demand for engineers in Vancouver, not ones that actually makes the shit themselves rather than being a design guy that sends files to China. Gotta move to Alberta or the Atlantic coast for that stuff, and even then much of it dried up years ago. LTT was probably his best bet for a foot in the door kind of job, especially with Linus being willing to finance that shop.

Glad to see his success seems to be steady and not a fluke.

Nick Light, the COO of LMG and Creator Wearhouse, has left LMG. He's been with them since the beginning if I recall correctly. He had this to say on his LinkedIn.

If you forgot what he looks like, he's this baldie. Linus calls him often on the WAN show to discuss upcoming merch releases. He has been extremely dedicated to the company and building up their merch line. LTT is a sinking ship.

Losing Nick is a big deal. He's the only other adult at the company besides the new CEO.

Even outside being an adult, Creator Warehouse is HALF their entire revenue, by their own provided breakdowns from a few months back. Considering this guy isn't instantly playing up his new venture or the like, that implies an involuntary departure. Not explicitly fired, could also just be a disagreement about direction or a coming action that he would have no part of.

Regardless of cause, the single most important money printer they have is now headless, in a group rapidly bleeding senior and capable talent. Add this to the fact that the merch business as a whole is kind of on fire with tariffs sending everyone running for new solutions, and its very very easy for this to turn into a shitshow. Whether its a bad merch drop plus bad PR response, bad choice of product, supplier issue, Linus demanding something be made in a weird and expensive way for no good reason, or any other number of situations, a 10% drop in creator warehouse revenue would be comparable to them losing most of their video sponsors. It'd be apocalyptic for their books.

I'd kill to be a fly on the wall with whatever shits going on inside of LTT. While I hope for an apocalyptic collapse, this feels more like the start of a slow decline where a lolcows world falls apart and they start lashing out. Its been too quiet over there for a while, the milks gotta be accumulating.

You are correct in your assertion that he has no other plans at this time. Looking on his Twitter account, he made a post this afternoon reflecting the same information found in the LinkedIn post. However, one of his former coworkers remarks that they find it admirable that he doesn't have another job lined up and will be spending time with his wife and kids for a few weeks while he works on finding a new position.

So he quit with no secured job. Not a good sign for internals at LTT. Probably an issue with them pivoting their direction in a way he disagreed leaving to him resigning. Or just overwhelming frustration.
