Rightfully so, LTT doesn't make the content people subscribed for and his videos keep being wrong about information and reality, they need to do more research.
That being said this is not a sign of YouTube becoming better, YouTube is bad regardless whether this guy is big, small or left.

Yup, the tide turning, you don't keep being big if your content doesn't improve or stays stagnate .

it's very interesting to watch. Linus looks genuinely upset. i don't watch him at all so it was refreshing even that he was very open about it. even talked about how some people will never watch him no matter what, with the backpack stuff and "snake" (i assume this is gamersnexus? ).
i think his audiences definitely grew old, started a career, family and don't have time to watch him anymore.
i just checked out his 'scrap yard war' video and it was jarring. it's like..i guess they made it for children..

They stopped being scrappy and don't care anymore, especially linus. You notice it. His heart isn't in it anymore and he's too rich to make it believable when they do scrapyard wars and shit. Look at any newer video where he's just hyperactively running around asking questions he knows the answer too and you feel, deep down that he's just doing it because he has to. Anyone that still cares leaves the company right now anyway.

That's the main issue, he makes videos for children and his employees are all zoomers that don't know shit. He's trying to stay young too much he even got braces.

See, this is more of an issue to do with thinking endless growth is a real thing— happens with companies too

you already captured a large percentage of the people interested. Growth isn't infinite, you can just coast. But that's not good enough because number must go up. You can try to capture the last bit by doing whatever it takes, but it's a lot of effort for not even 1% of your initial base.
So then, that's when the shit starts. The shift to lower denominator content, trying to expand the base. Sure, you gain new people, but it's an endless numbers chase, and the main purpose of the channel has been watered down. And there will come a point where growth slows again. Do you stick to making the new content you don't even enjoy producing, or do you go even lower-common denominator?

His own viewers are roasting him about this viewership complaint. Someone checked and over the last few months across the major LMG channels, a huge portion of their videos are members only, 40% to be exact.
On top of this they're also pushing members only content to floatplane.

So yeah, obviously your viewership is going to tank when you release members only content in excess and are trying to gate your content with members only restrictions in numerous spaces simultaneously.

On top of this new tech is becoming less accessible due to what looks like a global recession, major trade wars, continuously rising poverty rates even in first world countries, the sharp uptick in cost, etc. People don't want to watch some rich fuck face or his minions fuck around with whatever new normie tech is coming out and know that they'll never have it.

also theres the classic growth issue as pointed out here >>106474271
growth isn't infinite despite what CEOs want to think, ESPECIALLY with the declining birth rates we're seeing globally. a social media empire like this will inevitably have to decline somewhat.
>>
>>106474229
Just split the content. Zoomer shit and boomer shit.

The members only content is the floatplane content they just put in on youtube for god knows why nobody uses youtube memberships I think on last WAN they said they're going to remove it because it's fucking up looking through the channel

They even were talking about Marques on their shortcircuit podcast, theorizing about his methodology for utilizing shorts to boost views of primary videos.
They'll never be able to replicate what he does though, Linus even misunderstood what was being talked about and kept saying they already do "x, y z" while Luke was like no we don't, what are you talking about.

Theres no way their going to beat a team of 5 dudes who clearly know what their doing to drive viewership like Marques' team can.

Also LTT is very normie, but Marques is by far and away as normie as it gets in terms of the type of content being delivered, its flat, non technical and highly non specific vibe stuff. They know who their audience is and they got them by the balls.

I think it goes back to that 2017-9 period where they realized how much money they could make with proper merchandising, but that required hiring an entire additional business' worth of new employees, and then the testing labs they stole info from for years collapsed so they made their own. It just never ends because they need to make more money to justify rising costs of doing business in every department.

He has ADHD and spends money poorly
He runs a Mr Beast sized company but Jimmy is taking in far more money than him
The biggest issue of his views going down is just that it means he has less eyeballs to shill his merch too
What he needs to do is just start spending way more on ads and getting his products into other stores
if you go on LMG jobs website he knows this and is looking for a position directly related to getting other creators to shill his merch for him

Big names keep leaving LTT, dudes who've sometimes been there for a decade or more, I suspect some shits been going on behind the scenes we're not aware of thats pushing some people away. Alex, Dennis, Andy, there was someone else too I can't remember off the top (not the fat troon) that have all left this year, just within a few months of each other. That to me screams some unpopular internal decisions are being made.

Some of these people have historically been pretty important to the development of the channel and or were fan favorites. Linus attitude on the podcast was very much "owari da..." as well, more more so than I expected talking about how its been a good run, but gravity will get you eventually. Theres clearly some shit going on.

>People don't want to watch some rich fuck face or his minions fuck around with whatever new normie tech is coming out and know that they'll never have it.
So much this. Happens with every content creator that makes it big. Their friends, peers, and economic class changes and they start making content for them, not the people they used to be.

they don't want to work in a place full of retarded zoomers and spend their time working on a badminton center. Nick Light leaving was the major signal something is bad there.

Watching the talk on my 2nd monitor was pretty hard, because Luke was clearly the only one actively participating in the discussion. Everything he said, Linus made an effort to appear to be listening to, but he clearly wasn't as whatever he talked about afterwards either dismissed Luke entirely, or he just took the conversation somewhere else completely and had nothing to add or followup with. It was like Luke was talking to an emotionally checked out wall.

Hes either way more distraught than what hes letting on (although hes clearly very irritated) or hes way more of a narcissist than I originally realized.

Weird that you claim that because Anthony on his own channel has stated openly he didn't/doesn't really understand a lot of tech on a basic level. Like how a linux kernel works, or foss software development, or how hardware is made or even functions, etc and that part of the reason he was taking so much time to produce his own content was because he felt like hes learning everything from the ground up because he doesn't know anything.

He was literally just a dude who liked Linux and knew how to put a pc together. Thats actually it.

LTT had the most annoying retarded fanbase on all of youtube and reddit and ever since Steve's killshot those clowns lost all their credibility and so did LTT when it comes to testing hardware it's hands down the best thing Gamers Nexus ever did and made the internet a better place
>>
Nothing lasts forever and these things are usually on3 year cycles. Most of the other tech channels Linus used to play nice with have pivoted their content in different directions in the past few years, with GN being the biggest example with their consumer advocacy focus. And the funny thing is LTT has tried some of that advocacy / right to repair stuff recently, but neither him nor his audience are passionate about it so it falls flat.

I will be honest and I always hated LTT and watched like 30 videos my whole life maybe. (Mostly while building my PC for the first time years ago.)
My memory of "Anthony being better than everyone else" comes from one of the early RT videos they did, back then you only got very subtle difference wrt raster. They were doing a blind test to see who in the crew could differentiate what was raster and what was it. Anthony was the only one confidently succeeded pointing at subtle differences in both images. (Could be sheer pattern recognition autism than real knowledge, in tandem with what you claim. Regardless I though it was knowledge and was "impressed" back then.)
And it goes without saying that I never checked the troon's own channel lol.
Yeah perhaps I was wrong about it, but I don't really care either way. Thanks for correcting me I guess.

It is actually real, its a rabbithole if you want to waste some time. Linus tried to distance himself from it immediately. Although he certainly didn't ASK his audience to bully this kid into killing himself, he never made an attempt to get them to chill either.

Oh that guy who stole Linus’s silver NZXT play button died? Linus had no idea what he was walking into. That apparent son bought a generic top 10 channel and uploaded nothing to it afterwards and wanted all the play buttons for it. YouTube is actually good at verifying this stuff and said no so he went to buy a silver button from a channel that wasn’t his and he was going to scrape off the NZXT name and print his own on the glass.

I’m not happy he’s dead but Linus can’t do anything else. It’s his fault for not paying attention during the auction and missing on the bid completely

Everyone I know that watches LTT is a normie. Sometimes they ask me if I've seen x video and what I thought, invariably it's like 20% decent info you can get from reddit and 80% slop.
His house automation stuff seemed like a cool idea at first but quickly turned into "how much tech bullshit can I stuff in my house for free with sponsorships". I liked the homelab content at first but he's too rich to be relatable and too retarded to be educational. Level1techs at least is educational but most of the videos are a waste of time to watch and should be a forum post.

As much as people hate on Linus, he is what you'd consider a traditional PC enthusiast and that crowd is all but gone unfortunately.
No one cares about anything beyond "bideo game" and to be fair that has been a thing forever but the difference now is that it's the only thing people care about.

The people building PCs today don't care it's a PC. They don't care that it's an open-ended platform that cool and fantastical stuff can be built on any and all budgets. The only question on people's mind about anything is "will this make bideo game faster" and everything else is such a distraction that it might as well be eliminated.
The vast majority of people building PCs would never build one if there wasn't others telling them that it's the better way because your bideo game will be faster if you build it yourself.
Nobody gives a shit that you do it because you get a better selection, better value on components, better IO, or just to have something unique. The market today in particular is slowly eliminating uniqueness in pursuit of the most inoffensive products imaginable.

I haven't looked at pre-builts much so maybe it's changed but the cheaper price on pre-builts usually coincides with a cheaper motherboard, cheaper PSU, cheaper SSD, etc

Maybe that's changed and there is enough margins in the parts themselves where some companies will build exactly the same PC you would and eat into the sales margins on components to cover building/shipping/support.

He has over 100 people working for him, losing half a million views per video means he can't afford his employees that month.
And have in mind, the less views, the less shameless plugs for his merch store which is what's bringing the money to his company.
Have in mind that the yt part of the company is like 10-15 people, the rest are the merch store employees and the floatplane devs and IT guys.
And we're not counting the employees he's got in his badminton/lan party/gym company.

It's probably a matter of volume and cutting middlemen, these companies are buying thousands of each component at a time, probably directly from the manufacturer shipped to their building in china too for assembly, I'd wager most of the overprice in the cost comes from shipping it around the world since they take too much space and could break.
Have in mind that the shop you're buying them from has a 30% markup, and they bought from a distributor that added some markup too, which bought it from the manufacturer with a markup too.

He puts an lttstore add like every couple minutes, since that's like 80% of the company's revenue, if you have the sponsorblock addon, their videos literally lose like a quarter of the runtime from skipped segments.
And if you don't have the extension in your browser, I would highly recommend it, it really makes youtube watchable again in most videos.

The guy is overextended basically trying to make a YouTube channel hobby into this massive business with offices and hundreds of employees. There's only so much you can do to stretch and grow your business when it's based around a YouTube channel. Something like Linus Tech Tips should have never grown into this big-budget corporate operation with a hundred employees.

>Something like Linus Tech Tips should have never grown into this big-budget corporate operation with a hundred employees
I think the idea isn't wrong per-se, the problem is that for money to keep flowing steadily, you gotta diversify the operations a lot and keep the quality or improve it over time, the problem this dude has is that he's got into so much scandals lately for being an utter narcissist scum that he lots a sizeable amount of viewers, specially old people, who are the ones that can pay up the bills.
If I were to be in his position I would have invested in some outside revenue sources in case I lost the ad money, but he bet his success in his image, if the image becomes tarnished, you lose everything, it's really simple, I think that's why he invested in the badminton place.

When it was whole room watercooling levels of jank it was at least entertaining. He's putting $50k+ worth of sponsored content in his house and setting it up with the same kind of jank as before but it doesn't hit the same because none of the products are affordable.
$1k of fittings and copper tubing? Relatable. $10k+ of sponsored smartshit he got for free? Not relatable. The worst part is both setups are equally retarded but it's more painful watching him flounder with devices made for retarded boomers.
>>
>>106476163
I think part of the appeal of old YouTube was that these channels were being run by low budget enthusiasts. It's a YouTube channel, not a TV show. It doesn't need to be this grand multi million dollar production. Just go back to unboxing and reviewing tech in your bedroom like a normal person.

I've noticed there's a few ways for youtubers to tank their channels by showing shit to people they don't want to see.
I know one large channel killed his streaming viewership by letting his kids stream (his viewership wanted to watch him, not his kids), so now youtube doesn't recommend any of his streaming anymore.

It's actually more beneficial for your channel to NOT upload anything, rather than to upload a subpar video. This is why those channels that only upload once every 6 months don't die. Their videos always get recommended because youtube's algorithm knows everything they produce is high quality.

It's probably best to create lots of youtube channels for each individual subject.

I dont really understand why you cunts think this shit is slop.

That's not actually a bad thing though because it shows interesting use cases for the technology everyone uses. I've had issues with for instance zigbee problems with wifi interference with HA. Not slop if you can actual learn something. Slop is technigger or these unboxing channels that do nothing.

This company could've lived and breathed just fine in a slightly bigger rental house(laws depending upon country).

I would've sold the company off when he got the fat offer, with a slight counter offer to work at the company on contract for another 10 years as acting director of operations for 250k yr + 3% pay increases each year.

That way he has money to burn and the rest can be reinvested for those 10 years.

The other obvious issue is that he is surrounded by retards who just use MAC or Linux to edit videos all day / write scripts. You are really asking for the least rotten apple to bake you a pie at that point. Same goes with the other fat guy who is the default IT guy, he was thrusted into the videos with little knowledge since he is willing to learn the content, but still knows jack shit about IT to make it really good content.

A high-end PC.
Even if you can afford it, you should not buy it, because it's a bad financial decision.

If i buy all the best things they advertise, it will be more expensive than buying a new kitchen. And what do you get for it? A PC that can play minecraft with 400 instead of 350 fps? Or play current low quality slop games?
I rather get a new kitchen.
That's even more depressing than simply being too poor.

Linus has a near 100% turnover rate with good hosts and it's crazy that it took this long to catch up with him.
Nearly all of them choose to leave what seems like a fairly cushy entertainment gig for their own, much less popular channels. The only reason that career move would be even remotely viable is that he refuses to pay them what they're worth. And considering his cast rotates out on what seems like a weekly basis, I can imagine that he thinks of them as expendable bodies, as his attitude on camera seems to suggest.

People go to the circus for the clowns, not the ringmaster.
>>
>>106481751
The Linux challenge was cool. I'd like more videos like that. He's doing a grapheneOS one now but by the time the video comes out he'd have already said everything on the wan show. And videos are taking ages to come out he'll talk about a vid on wan show and it'll be weeks before it turns up. He did a "vibe coding" challenge using chatgpt to make an app as someone that doesn't know shit about coding. Video is nowhere and he mentioned it like 3 weeks ago.

This needs to be addressed seriously
Why is LTT no longer capable of retaining talent? They aren't leaving to go work on bigger things or make shitloads more money. Either LTT is paying like total shit, making people work on stuff they have zero interest in, or is placing undue stress on the people that are there making work miserable.

I know LMG has multiple channels, but having 100+ people on staff for a YouTube channel(s) is not sustainable. These aren't min wage Mexicans, they are relatively high paid and are headquartered in an expensive area.

The greed is finally catching up to Linus and the other tech slopetubers.

How are you certain he had regular, straight teeth? Overbites are pretty common. I'm 24 and we'll probably need them at some point because my bottom front teeth keep colliding with the top front teeth causing the top front ones to slowly chip away. My dentist worries they'll ship severely if nothing is done (I should probably actually do something about that. Thanks for reminding me)

Beyond all that why the fuck are you sperging about someone else's teeth? I thought we were talking about their channel views or something

Him because he can afford healthcare. Mutts could never.

No it was incredibly wrong from the get go. I feel like he fell into the same trap early web 2.0 content creators like RedvsBlue did. More than a decade ago he talked about how unreliable ad revenue is between affiliate links and adsense. He made some good decisions like making floatplane so he had his own platform and payment system. He didn't capitalize on it though. The biggest problem is that he kept steering the channel to clickbait slop rather than real product reviews. Great for ad revenue but bad for retention and nudging people towards crowdfunding. He's tried to step back from both day to day business and also being the only on camera talent, but you really can't trust other people to handle those things the way you do when you're the face of the company. He still went hard on scaling up with more hires, more sets, more production. The channel lives and dies on him playing Peter Pan, still enthusiastic about every new product.

Everyone else has less staff, more technical and detailed reviews, and despite the lower budget just as good production values. They might hold the attention span of the literal toddlers Linus is trying to get ad revenue from, but it's probably more stable.

nta, but he handles floatplane stuff iirc
>>
>>106483783
so he interfaces with like 1% of ltt audience?

Linus doesn't know who works there any more and the viewers don't know who the hosts are any more. Linus is hardly even in videos now. Since the channel now very rarely actually shows off tech or reviews products then what is the hook for actually watching an LTT video? Watching some literally who make zoomer jokes about building a desk?
>>
>>106473825
Consumer GPUs which are the biggest draw to his channel are so fucked right now nobody is buying them. Nvidia needs to fix their fucking drivers and drop the price on their cards by hundreds of dollars. The GPU hangover is feeling really shitty right now

>>106483692

This is a person who goes on camera and talks. I don't stare at his teeth like an autist or some bizarre fetishist, but if his teeth were fucked up, missing, crooked, etc. it would be pretty obvious.

>>106483712
>You seem to know a lot about his medical life
Zoomers think seeing something mentioned in a video is being "creepily knowledgeable". Do you fall for the bible story of how acquiring knowledge was sinful and evil too? He didn't go into the details much but said something about wanting to correct his teeth.

You're in a thread about a youtube channel company, what the fuck did you expect people to be talking about?
>>
>>106473825
Second Wind, the remnants of Escapist Magazine, just released a video talking about this exact same phenomena and they seemed to have figured it out pretty well
In short there's a new Youtube feature called "Restricted Mode". If you click on your profile pic in the upper right corner, it's an option in the menu.
The way this works is that Youtube tries to hide so-called "mature content" if it's turned on. And if your account is determined to be a child (a huge portion of Youtube viewers are between the ages of 15 to 17 especially for tech channels like Linus), or it can't determine your age at all either because you're not logged in or Google doesn't have enough data to determine, then your account is automatically set to this restricted mode.
If you give it a try by manually toggling it you'll notice a lot of clearly not-mature videos disappear from your recommendations feed, since as even Google themselves puts it in the settings the filter is "not 100% accurate". This means that the majority of Linus videos are flagged as potentially mature for whatever reason, and thus don't end up being recommended for young users, new users, users who aren't logged in and so on which ends up being a huge chunk of his viewers.
The only way to fix this is to complain to Google to fix whatever AI is determining which video is mature or not.

I honestly can't wait until the youtube and twitch streaming fad dies and all these retards become poor and destitute. Twitch streamers especially, since those guys all have massive egos, zero talent, no work ethic, and deserve none of the fame and wealth they have. It's going to be delicious seeing the day amazon finally shuts down twitch for being too unprofitable and watching all those faggots scramble to find real jobs.
