Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 it feels like one of the largest YT channels unravelling under it's sheer size
backpack drama -> hack -> more drama -> changed ceo -> more drama
I'm just curious what amazing videos they try putting out after the week off
eh... it's only a servicable response because Linus fucked up the first one
it's a perfect storm of all these issues hitting at once
they've been trending down (viewers and video quality) their new channels aren't doing well
store is stagnating
I guess Linus should've sold for what, 100 mill?
and now you have ex-employees badning together to cancel them
yeah, $100M
should've sold
biggest blunder
he will always be a retard for not selling
yeah obviously
he's normal rich
not super rich
still could have had super generational wealth for his happa children to blow through
I understand why he didn't sell, because to him his company is a toy he can use to larp as a business man
and gets him efame
but for $100M, he should have sold (especially since he still got to be CEO or w/e)
I don't think he has passion for the production of YouTube videos anymore
I think every big idea he's had (aside form labs) he's gotten to do
yeah
honestly
he gets asked all the time "what do you run on your home server"
and the answer is "Plex and Homekit"
and has been for years
do you think he's driven by efame more than Max?
or is it a "I want to own my friends" kind of thing
