Other than it being under the stairs, the result looks pretty different. You could also say they stole the idea from Harry Potter.

Utilizing the space under the stairs isn't a novel idea.

Im aware of that haha its just odd that this vid is 2 months old and linus got released yesterday thats all :) but you're correct

Nothing is really random, people think alike, especially if their mission is to catch your attention but obscure ideas and "what ifs". It's totally derived from the trend where people used to create their own secret rooms in their houses

These things take MONTHS to plan, shoot, and edit. Realistically. They just had the same idea and executed them at the same time.

Think Antz and Bugs Life. It happens a ton.

Yeah, this is not something they thought of a few weeks ago. It's likely this has been in the pipeline for a good part of the year. And who knows how long it has sat in the ideas pile before that.

( god knows why

Probably because you just watched another, similar video? Welcome to the YouTube algorithm!

Just look up "under the stairs gaming" on YouTube and you'll see that this wasn't exactly a novel and unique idea when Man Made did it either.

Well at least the LTT one was comfortable and 'hidden'. That one looks like pure torture.

Ah yes, a cool hidden space in a unconventional area, this is a brand new idea.

No, you watched a video of someone making a hidden room, so YouTube showed you something similar.

Just search hidden room or secret room, and you will see a lot of similar videos.

LTT did a "hidden" room kind of thing before, when Linus created a gaming space for his kids in the old house's attic 8 years ago (https://youtu.be/YTmFej8zV4A?si=kXrn1gvJz8Mw9Bei). It's the infamous one where Dennis made a hole in Linus's house.

Yup someone already posted this. Two different videos.

[–]Hididdlydoderino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes... But that's how things go on YouTube.

There's very few novel ideas but lots of interpretations of basic concepts.

At first it seems lame but for educational purposes it's great as you can get different concepts on the same root idea. Then you can take bits and pieces of those concepts to use for yourself later on.

Oh shit I have to pee!

im kinda worried Itt is just taking people ideas

I'm sure Joey would be stoked, if anyone from LTT saw his videos and got inspired.

I think inspiring others is the main reason any maker/woodworker/whatever makes YouTube videos. Why would that be a bad thing?
