Holy nigger. I paid 17,000 euros for a two room apartment. Those prices are ridiculous. I wonder why you amerimutts aren't going full ape shit over this.

The last time Canadians tried to get angry over something retarded the government was doing, they suspended our equivalent of the constitution via emergency powers to shut it down, and it took four years for our courts to determine "Yea that was illegal but we're not going to do anything about it". Canadians don't have the right to protest or fight back, just the privilege to do so only when convenient and only for things the government approves of being opposed.

Because we don't care if Canadians who vote for infinite jeets and CCP money laundering suffer.

Not gonna archive as they're just paraphrasing but Jake video hit the Mainstream news, sites such as Dexerto and more are talking about it.
From what I can read most people have a indifferent reaction to it, they think that Jake is being a whiny bitch because no employee will ever get paid as much as the CEO but at the same time people is stopping to see LTT as a "family/friends company" to just another big soulless corporation and that Linus not giving raises or some kind of profit sharing to key people is retard.
I think Linus will give a comment someday if news keeps showing up but at the same time I don't think it will harm his reputation a lot.

I still think about the LTT Car channel that got canned. Granted I'm not exactly a motor-head and don't know how saturated the space currently is, but I swear the car videos they did for ShortCircuit were relatively popular and they could have done a Top Gear esc model i.e. cars are sent in for review, Alex is the main host, two or more with good chemistry to tag along and do challenges with, camera work was already there and another potential avenue/market for ad sponsors.
That said, I understand that LTT is basically just CreatorWarehouse now, but even gimmick shirts like the OG Linus "Lambo" to go along with a little channel, small dinky sized car toys, I feel like it could have really been something. Imagine ChannelSuperFun but good.

I wouldn't be surprised to hear it fell to poor internal comparison. While everything you said is probably accurate, it didn't massively outperform their usual tech content, and it would have had significantly higher costs, because anything car related is going to be more expensive than sitting in a set talking about some new gizmo that you got sent for free. So higher cost, same revenue, probably a victim of short sighted minmaxing - "why would I diversify when I make marginally more profit over here", presuming that said space will never deviate or decline because it hasn't so far.

I think they get amount of free stuff for tech that we can't even imagine. Same is probably not true for cars when they are starting. Thus someone looks at it like we are actually spending our own money for this? Can't have that... Even if it could be net positive return on time and money spend.

They could have gotten other sponsors to support the content like Cars and Cameras. Would have offset the cost of making car content imo

Brother this is crazy, "inventory tracking issue" is just admitting fault of how shitty things are run. How can a long established self founded merch store have inventory tracking issues? And to make up for this embarrassing self inflicted issue the mighty Linus is willing to take a minor profit loss off of YOUR next order to make up for it! And the Reddit niggers kneel. I struggle to picture what these people are like irl, how do they exist.

no such thing, your land will be invaded by MST niggers and you can't buy a gun to defend yourself either as they will kill you so they can sell the land and continue the cycle of terrorism.
no one has posted the hardware unboxed taking potshots at linus over his employees making videos about quitting?

You know what? I'm actually impressed - clever in a way that makes you raise an eyebrow. As far as I know, this doesn’t break consumer protection laws, not even in Europe where customers are well protected.
Offering $10 in store credit is smart, because that credit is basically monopoly money, it only has value inside LTT store - and they already have a margin on their products, so the real cost is even lower than it looks. Meanwhile, they gain:
1.) quasi‑preorders, so they can safely order more stock
2.) good PR (after all, Linus is ""giving"" people $10 in store credit, even if they cancel)
3.) the impression that their product is so good it sells out instantly
Hell, he might even profit from this, because with LTT’s retardly high shipping costs people tend to add more items to their cart anyway.
Overall, well played, Linus. You fucking scum.

Not really. If a sponsor sends you a new GPU, One guy with absolutely no real skills can install it into an existing rig in 10 minutes, run some benchmarks while working on a different project, and you're set. If a sponsor sends you new shocks, you've got to get that car up, take some of it apart, install it with at least some modicum of skill so it doesn't fall off and kill you, and the process will take a few hours, more if you're inexperienced with that kind of work. Then you also need to go out and probably drive for a few hours to get a good feel for it, maybe even rent some track time if its a 'performance' part, which it probably is if someones willing to sponsor you to use it. Sponsors don't usually cover every itemized cost of making the video, its usually "here's a lump sum and the thing, make sure to hit these talking points". That lump sum part is usually size and reputation dependent, not "how expensive is the video to make" dependent.
A car video is basically guaranteed to have labor costs approaching an order of magnitude more than some random hardware video. Its not insurmountable, but it does mean you're gonna see a better return on man hours for tech content, and man hours is usually the bottleneck for media production. If I was in Linus's place, I'd consider the lower margin to be acceptable risk for diversifying my market, if tech goes into a slump cars won't give two fucks, and if cars are in a slump that doesn't matter at all to Intel wanting to market new video card attempts. Cars can be off in their own vertical with a few people and seed capital, and if it goes well, great, if it doesn't, that's just how things go sometime.
Woulda been a better allocation of Capital than the labs, or the Jet.

This is why Donut stopped doing High Low and went to reviewing Temu car crap after they sold out. It was too expensive and too much time relative to the views they would get versus doing the bare minimum for content slop. It's why James, Zach, and Jeremiah left to do their own channels, Speeed and BigTime. Donut occasionally cracks 1M views on stuff that is like their old content before the sellout that is like the common man's Top Gear but a lot of their stuff is around 200k-300k views which is abysmal for a 9M sub channel. I'm surprised Nolan is still with Donut but he probably got a pretty good offer to stay after those 3 left. It was kind of like the LTT of cars even before the sellout. James's channel, Speeed, gets pretty good numbers but he's kind of a personality cult and going for the male role model schtick which is kind of lame but it seems to be working. He's extremely LA brained. Zach and Jeremiah also get pretty good numbers on their channel, BigTime. I haven't watched much of their stuff either but it seems to be a hit with the people who want that kind of actual car, truck, and motorcycle content with decent personalities.
I think there is some overlap to people who are into PCs and car customization, but I think the majority of LTTSuckers are ricers and not the type to actually do their own work on their cars. They're Reddit brained consoomers who would put a spoiler, fake hood scoop, and underglow on their bone stock Kia K4 and jack off to it. Anyone who is an actual gear head would not listen to some softhands homosexual Canadian talk about car tuning.

Linus would probably ruin it by getting way too heavyhanded with the sponsor integrations. We're talking Mighty Car Mods on steroids. At least those guys focus purely on automotive content and don't come across as future lolcows.
It probably helps them that Aussies are desensitised to product placement as it's propped up free-to-air network TV over here for decades, so the constant gratuitous shots of Castrol and CRC products being used and the constant glazing of Ryobi and Super Cheap Auto don't even register as obvious product placement to most viewers.
And why an LTT car channel would be awful. Enthusiasts can smell a fraud from a mile off. That's why Top Gear survived for so long in its various incarnations. The largesse of the British TV licence payer meant that the BBC could produce a high quality show without having to kowtow to sponsors.
This was much more obvious during TG's original incarnation from the 1970s until the turn of the millennium, when it was a straight up car review and consumer advice show instead of the Boys' Own Automotive Adventure show it morphed into under Clarkson and Wilman.

??? both Steve and Tim take the most fence sitting position, Steve also argues that Jake shouldn't have said some 'out of context' comments along with saying Linus is a "good guy" (at least he pays Jake and trains Jake into making ltt slop!!!).
it is far from taking pot shots at linus

For good reason they offer no opinon or commentary on the matter.
They are the retarded wannabe Australian version of Gamers Nexus.
I stopped watching after a couple minutes, nothing of value was added.
