Ltt Wan Show Low Views.mp4
I clipped the part at around 1:15:00, it's a 30 minute talk about how the LTT views are down considerably, to the point where Linus realizes he can't keep the company as big with those views. Luke mentions they are "end of the house era view counts." Luke believes it's just the new algorithm but you can see Linus realize work through all the phases.
-Youtube says it's not the new algorithm
-maybe they'll end memberships because all the members only stuff on the videos tab is taking up view real estate
-the A/B thumbnail/copy testing is turning people off leading to no follow through viewing
-it's the economy
-people don't take LTT seriously
-people don't know what they want
-the LTT brand is damaged (apparently the other content creators who built a PC last week were having their viewers roast them for working with LTT)
And then, after all of this as he harps on tastes changing and the poor economy, he talks about how he's getting a new TV for his theater room, that is just 1" bigger than the current one (but is some new RGB technology that could be better the OLED)
He gets so close to realizing maybe he and the company come across as smug assholes, but can't/won't connect it. Some viewer says maybe he should have rallied his allies and gone total war against Steve when the truth bomb hit LTT, but remember, back then Linus thought they were doing nothing wrong and was so stupid with his response they had to release an apology video with everyone but Linus saying that to save face.
Stop rubbing your frankly undeserved riches in the audience's face, stop having dysgenic looking people on camera, and stop trying to be hip and clever with the writing because gaymos like Riley want to use it for his audition tape sizzle reel. When it was just dudes doing tech stuff it was way more palatable,
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.......
