On The Wan show (their conversation show they record live on Friday nights) Linus has said the company is close to making more on the LTTStore than from youtube.
He also has a lot of sponsorships and sponsored videos as well. He also has Floatplane but I don't know how much money that makes.
- djmips 4y agoI literally forgot that it was a name of a video service... I was hoping he was also a bush pilot. Is it doing OK?
- wincy 4y agoI mean based on their podcast it sounds like Linus’ friend/employee (seems like the line here is pretty blurry) and some remote dev who was originally just a fan criticizing their proposed infrastructure work on it full time and that’s about it, so it’s probably not as expensive overhead as you might assume.
- apocalyptic0n3 4y agoOn Friday, Luke said he had ~20 people reporting to him. I believe a few are on the Labs side, but most of them are Floatplane employees. They also maintain LTT Store and build out other projects, so they may not be solely dedicated to Floatplane, but it's a much bigger operation than you suggest.
- wincy 4y agoAh okay I guess you’re more informed than I am. Thanks for the info!
- jccalhoun 4y agoThey have been putting extended cuts and behind the scenes videos on there so I would guess that would drive some subs. It looks like they have a couple dozen creators on there. I would guess it pays for itself if nothing else.
