Daniel Owen? Don't forget that he is a math teacher IRL, so he probably even has less time to make Youtube content and yet he does it well and doesn't need 100 people.

I thought the labs shit was DOA? Why is he still buying dumb shit for it?

Still limping along with about one review a week, apparently. Last post was a keyboard review three days ago as of writing this.

Truly the internet just needs one more penultimate epic RGB keyboard gaymer review and LTT's business idea will flourish

its actually funnier if you read it. They sperged over the keyswitches so hard that they CT scanned them. The idea of doing a 3d CT scan of a piece of hardware to verify a relatively benign manufacturer statement of "How the thing works" to get an effectively irrelevent result (You could have just cut open a switch, what is wrong with you) is the exact kind of brainlet activity that suggests the Labs people have no business having access to equipment like this. Their justification is, and I quote, "because why not?", which is about the worst possible justification for spinning up a mid six figure piece of equipment that I could imagine.

Emma was not trans that I can find just mentally ill like almost everyone in his family, mother, sisters, brother. Seems like it comes from the mothers side as she lost custody of Linus for some time after being judged unfit. Dad can't be any better as Linus ran away from home when he got custody.
The aquarium sister is Olivia judging by his/her/whatis instagram. Now goes by George and is the trans sister. George is currently facing a 10+ year prison sentence from multiple assault charges including attacking officers and court sheriffs. Case is covered by a publication ban because reasons. Last seen restrained in a wheelchair with a spit hood.
Have not been on the beat for quite some time but wow he is really circling the drain now. To think all it took was some of his disgruntled employees pointing out to others in the industry what Linus and some of his employees were saying about them for the serious side of techtubers to make him a sworn enemy. I guess most already knew he was a sociopath asshole because of the way he communicated to them on phone calls or emails, acting like he is the youtube/techtube CEO. Not surprised more keep leaving many unhappy gringos there. Lost the main business guy that pulled him out of the basement of his townhouse operation, lots of long time employees leaving to do their own thing.
The guy behave like he owns the youtube tech space and treats employees and fellow tubers like they should be worshipping him or something and need to pay tribute to him constantly. Seeing this guy outed as a tech fraud is some sort of divine justice because everyone knew it and was just too afraid to rock the boat and say it because his audience is filled with the sort of LGBT crazies that call in bomb threats and swats for the fun of it.
He will fail because he can't identify with normal people and keeps flaunting his money like some sociopathic gangster while his audience is getting crunched by the economic situations and getting pushed out of the tech hobby with prices going crazy. All the pillars of his business are failing, tariffs have killed merch sales, floatplane and labs are money pits, "talent' is all leaving to do their own channels because they are not allowed to have a side hustle to subsidize their low wages in one of the most expensive places in the world to live, youtube is putting the hammer down on ad revenue sharing and fake traffic, and this guy is out here hypebeasting his fairy racket club while buying a second house to give to his future serial killer son. Someone sell Netflix the rights to this shit.

10 million leafbux to describe a keyboard as thocky, still better than any review Linus has done.

Just another thing hes bought that will never be used, did they ever get that sound chamber built? Also seems to me that there is $1,000 worth of scrap there so the auction story is probably fake.
Look at this desperation in the comments:
He even had to heart his own comment.

Linus' one and only reddit comment regarding his lab chamber video:
If anyone wants to point to the perfect encapsulation of why LTT is failing, it's this sentiment.

Linus is a fucking moron. He's going to be forced to take the downsize-pill sooner or later. The reason he needs to keep chasing silly trends and views is because his overhead is so large.
Downsize before it's too late you buffoon.

He has 16.5 mil subs and none of them want to watch his content, its not his fault but youtubes. Insert principal skinner meme. I checked the LTT forum and it has 8 posts - 9 if you count a staff post.
What're you talking about, it took 50 people to write the script for the last video! They are 100% necessary! It couldn't have been done by 1 person, no way.

If you're producing content to try and appease some algorithm instead of producing content to appease your audience, you've already lost. If you're feeling forced to try and game the system to retain some peak you had, then you need to recognize that it was a momentary peak. The real part LTT isn't ready to grapple with yet is what if that peak wasn't just a type of content, but the foundation of their media. Wouldn't be the first time a style of content blew up and then died, that's basically the history of entertainment right there. Ain't nobody getting rich off new circus startups anymore.

What really burns Linus' ass is the rise of GN. They do so much more with so much less and don't push out slop every other day because they don't have 100+ employees to pay.

Yes and it is no longer a secret. GN + Hardwarebusters (because of Cybernetics) are two that keep him up at night when he is looking at the bank accounts and crying over his failed investments. Everyone has seen how he has dealt with Steve. Copied his product to directly target some of Steve's revenue because GN doing well while LTT death spirals gets under his skin but mostly because Steve refuses to play along with the brand pay for positive PR influence operation that Linus runs. Every day he is thinking you are fucking up the money when you criticize brands Steve, just stop, it's hurting the techtuber industry!!!
He desperately wanted Labs to replicate Cybernetics (getting brands to actually respect competency enough to co-brand and pay for a stamp of approval). People will pay him for potential reach in views because of sub count but industry does not trust his competence or cobrand value, unlike others. That makes him seethe.
Maybe slightly straighter teeth will fix the problem. Maybe viewers grow up and eventually want competent adults giving them advice, not some Peter Pan wannabe retard. Maybe youtube just stopped giving him artificial boosts because of their long term relationsihp now that there are so many organic and comptenent tech content providers generating ad views. Either way he's aged out and comes off like some desperate cougar hanging around at the bar trying to satisfy some ego while everyone just points and laughs at the weird thing trying to get everyone's attention.

Oh my god thank you for finding this because that cope comment is sending my sides into the stratosphere. What a whiney little bitch. Your content sucks now Linus, deal with it.
Last week (two weeks ago maybe?) on the WAN show Linus was briefly talking about how they're closing in on their worst performing year at LTT in almost a decade. He's constantly bitching about sales numbers on the store too and people buying items with no margins instead of splurging on high margin items.
His business is on its way to downsize city. If he was smart he'd axe 90% of staff and do everything with a team of like 7-8, completely ditch the Floatplane shit and the Labs shit because a cataclysmic fall is coming and with the size of the company it won't be graceful.
LTT could have been a lifelong sustaining brand but he had to overexpand and expect constant growth. He overextended and this is just what happens. It's not just him, ALL tech channels are down overall except maybe MKBHD and MrWhosTheBoss which are just the most surface level normie slop imagineable.
Channels like Austin Evans, UnboxTherapy, HardwareCanucks, etc can absorb the downtrend because they don't have 100 employees. It doesn't matter as much when it's just a few people in a small space.
