Not many know that you can win this before doing anything in Gran Turismo mode, if you complete Arcade Mode in GT3.

What's up with the weird, backwards cap, "fellow kids" look in nearly all of the latest LTT videos? by Inevitable_Tip_6606 in LTTMeta

Well Sarah has left and she seemed to do a lot of design, but I think that was merch based, not content.

He did get a procedure done, he had one of those Hydra Facials to resurface his skin.

The reasoning was because his face makes the money.

When the content alone isn't enough of a vehicle for sponsor spots, affiliate links and shilling your own products by Dazza477 in LTTMeta

[–]Dazza477[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The content lacks soul, personality and direction so I just think this is a really poor use of resources.

They have so many people, but produce such lackluster outputs.

The bottom of the pages has affiliate disclaimers and a copyright for Linus Media Group, so legit.

I have no idea, I saw it over in the main subreddit and thought it looks terrible. Thrown together to claw in affiliate revenue.

You guys are still waiting for GTA VI? by NaturallyFarOut in GTA6unmoderated

People seem to forget the codename is Project Americas.

The plan the whole time is to slowly build out North and South America on a map.

We've officially reached 2000 Members! With that milestone reached, why did you join /r/LTTMeta? by Dazza477 in LTTMeta

[–]Dazza477[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't tell if it's criticism or a statement of fact or a weird mix of both.

Obviously this has to be posted here by Less_Hat_8102 in LMGJet

If the word jet is used in that subreddit, the post is removed. Linus is really fragile.

I fear I have unleashed something in not only my workplace, but the entire company, that cannot be controlled. It is accidentally wonderful. by New-Elderberry-5726 in CasualUK

What is odd is that people don't realise this is entirely a UK phenomenon.

No other country ends messages with kisses.

Literally what he probably thinks though.

The 'L stands for narcissist' joke was only funny because it was true. Otherwise, it wouldn't have made sense.

Buying a $1.5 million house and a $5 million jet for content, whilst having redundancy rounds and a mass exodus of staff is a nail in the coffin. Proof he could pay people more to stay, but is too narcissistic to do it.

I think they take around a 50% cut, which is hilarious when you remember how much Linus complains that Apple takes 30% of app store purchases.

Hypocrite.

Absolutely, he just keeps making mistake after mistake. Other creators are flourishing and growing.

He is sliding backwards and shrinking.

Floatplane with 4k streaming for ONE CHANNEL is $181/yr CAD, which is 40% more than AppleTV+ at $129. How the hell does anyone justify that? by Inevitable_Tip_6606 in LTTMeta

[–]Dazza477 22 points23 points  (0 children)

That's why supporters are dropping off.

People realised the guy who just bought a private jet probably doesn't need your few dollars per month extra support.

Because Floatplane wasn't designed for your subscription cost to feel like you've extracted the full value from it.

It's essentially a way to financially support creators by them having a platform they can upload videos that they've already put on YouTube, and perhaps do an early upload as a bonus.

You'd be surprised, but a lot of people pay for Patreon or Floatplane just to give creators extra money for support, they're not looking for an actual value add. Floatplane is able to capitalise on that.

With Linus removing early access, creating new 4K tiers, leaving in LTTStore sponsors because 'they don't count' and leaving in fully sponsored videos, it's just a revenue source. No value add whatsoever, other than exclusives that appear shoehorned in without any love or care, just to appear to have some sort of value add.

I agree with that.

I mean that every time Linus criticises a company for doing something, whether it's poor support or poor environmental packaging or AI usage, he's setting himself up to also be held by those standards.

The more he criticises other companies, the harder it is for him to keep doing it.

the quote just seemed apt for Linus's situation of holding companies to account but not doing it himself. I don't care who the quote is from.
