- EtienneK 5y agoThis was my 1st thought as well. Also, Linus said “think I can’t afford you? Try me”.
- szundi 5y agoThis may change later when he might realize (hop not) that these guys don't return enough on investment. But maybe LLT is the one who will be popular enough, who knows.
- d3nj4l 5y agoI think LTT has mostly figured out a sustainable model: 1. Make low(er) budget videos regularly that may not earn you a ton but keep the algorithm happy and the money flowing. 2. Every now and then, make a few high-budget videos that "pop", which expands your audience and keeps the regulars hooked. If you check their channel right now, most of the daily videos are kind of boring/stupid YouTube bait - I even stopped watching their channel because of that! But if you check back every month, there's maybe two-three videos that are genuinely unique or interesting. So I think LTT wouldn't care about RoI from an expensive hire on a per-video/per-view basis - it would be worth it for them if they could use that hire to build a captive audience to watch their cheaper video.
